that has this in the article:

"James argues that while babies that are left to cry may be more likely to sleep through the night, "it is the babies whose needs have been met who become the secure, calm and satisfied children and productive schoolchildren, and adults – and the ones you might say were spoilt and indulged babies." "

Just a bit of something to tuck in your mind do trot out if you feel you need to defend your position.

"The more the child has all his or her desires met while young, the stronger will be the ego and the easier it will be for the child as an adult to cope with setbacks when they occur."

From Will Schutz's "Profound Simplicity", a book I read 25 years ago that strongly influenced my parenting philosophy.

As the Mythbusters might say: "Confirmed".
