Making your baby "cry it out" is not compatible with P.E.T. or peaceful parenting because you are taking advantage of the fact that babies can't advocate for themselves. Because he annoys you, you break his heart for your benefit.

You should be looking for other ways to find sanity in your life. A crying or needy baby is difficult, and disrupts your sleep and life in an unhealthy way, but pretending you can treat him so poorly is a power trip.

The no cry method is about giving him the tools he needs to be able sleep well. The cry it out is like throwing your kid into the deep end of a swimming pool without any help.
