You didn't offend me, but I disagree that it's recommended to let babies cry it out. The so-called experts are mixed on it, from what I've read. Some say it's better to respond to your babies cries to ensure that it knows it's not being abandoned. Others say you should let it cry to teach sleep independance. We're really doing this because the ONLY other thing that seemed to consistantly work with Hannah was nursing her to sleep.

She IS expressing emotions with those cries. She's expressing that she's ticked off beyond all belief, if not sad that she's all alone.
