its a device that keeps tracks of the minutes you allow your child to CIO for sleeptraining purposes. it tells you when you're allowed to go comfort your child and when you should leave them to cry

eta: amore detailed description here. http://www. thinkgeek.com/geek-kids/newborn-infant/e344/ i saw it there first and thought it was some kind of joke product as they sometimes have, but no, its real

and aparently they sell it at babiesRus

... and target

I'm feeling more and more sick about this.

How horrific! Beyond those words, I'm speechless.

CarissaJoy · 07-28-2010, 10:29 AM

I am horrified!!!

And of course, it says that it is "pediatrician recommended"

And one of the comments said that they knew that they would use the CIO method because that's what their pediatrican recommended- so that makes it safe.

SuperDudesMama · 07-28-2010, 11:21 PM

That is just terrible!

hey mommy · 07-28-2010, 11:24 PM

I saw that the other night.. It's just awful. How sad for those poor babies...

abh5e8 · 07-28-2010, 11:28 PM

it says for ages 4 months and up...but to consult your pedi if your baby has "special needs" ....yeah. my babies have special needs alright. love, comfort, security, affection, food...all come to mind.

My initial response was "I can't believe they have devices like this that keeps track of something so horrific in this day and age and country.

For some kids, CIO is torture! I'm not taking that word lightly when I say it either.

I also get physically angry when I think about it - like I want to smash those things.

I really dislike products like this.

eoconnel · 07-29-2010, 08:56 AM

It is horrible

. Though my prayer is that this product for some children who are forced to CIO by their parents they will not be allowed to cry endlessly like some people recommend.

Sparrow · 07-29-2010, 08:59 AM

Hopefully it would be a shocking reality check for some people!

FlyingBlueKiwi · 07-29-2010, 09:47 AM

So ladies, instead of commenting here, why not REVIEW the product on Amazon. Right now almost all the ratings are 4 to 5 star.

EMama · 07-29-2010, 10:23 AM

That makes my heart sad.

And my flesh angry.
