A baby is completely dependent and, if crying, needs to feel soothed by its caregiver whom should be present rather than listening from the next room. Without the caregiver present, the infant does not feel safe and the repercussions go into adulthood with some of the issues being around abandonment and a lack of ability to self soothe. When such an infant grows up and feels upset, then s/he will react with anxiety and will lack a sense of safety. It is the parents’ job to soothe the baby, not the baby’s. By treating your infant, in such a manner, you are raising your child to have the same emotional difficulties as you.
