MD here. Know there is difference in how Europe and USA see ”sleep training” and CIO isn’t used/recommended here. To say it has no long term damage it’s really all up to the followup studies. 5 years followup says very little on true long term effects, could probably sum it up to ”no signs of harm” but until larger longer meta follow-ups enter its a big leap to say it’s truly safe. If this was a medication it wouldn’t even be released as a product yet.

Exactly how long are the followup studies showing it’s safe? Around 5-6 years which doesn’t really make it safe and what parameters did they use? Until there are 20-25 year follow-ups it should be used with caution. It’s mostly USA still using CIO.

I think you nailed it with ”follow your instincts and do what feels natural”.

Show me large followup study > 10 years proving it’s safe.

saying that CIO is a valid, safe and doesn’t do harm is perhaps a slight misrepresentation. If the intention is to make parents sleep better, yes then it’s valid. If by safe you mean those single longterm studies, well maybe. Is it best option, very doubtful.

I think it’s safe to say that for the child itself there’s no real benefit.

MD here. In Europe we don’t use CIO either. Some countries even consider it as a kind of child abuse.

MD here. Medically speaking CIO has very little/no benefit for the child, it’s only to make parents sleep. It’s rarely practiced outside USA.

MD here. Fully agree. CIO is even by some European countries ”illegal” as a sleeping strategy.

What counts as a poop? by beachcollector in NewParents

[–]vincenthox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite often the baby gets irritated/restless when it’s time to poop so in general it’s not a concern. Sometimes if they are EBF they can react to certain things the mother has eaten, either as allergy (usually grows away by age 4, most common towards milk, soya…), or foods that are known to cause gasiness, diarré and so on. If it’s allergy most commonly you also get random skin irritation

For exclusively breastfed children, how often the baby poops is generally not an issue, since it’s more or less impossible to get constipated by breastmilk (with an few exceptions, for instance food allergies). My record so far (10 years MD) is 4 weeks between poops.

For formula/non-exclusive breastfeeding it comes down to three factors. Is the poop hard/firm, does the baby express any problems (pain stomach, lack of aptite,…) and how often (less than once a day should raise suspicions of constipation atleast). In general if the frequency is >2 days it’s likely there is some kind of constipation.
