Rejected petition Stop professionals from using "The Cry it Out method" as parental advice.

We want to put a stop to child professionals and published childcare books giving advice to parents that "The cry it out" method should be used in order to help your children sleep. It is advised that children are left crying, sometimes to the point where the child is sick, we want to stop this!

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The Government and Parliament aren't responsible for parenting advice given by private individuals.

If you would like the Government to change advice given by the NHS in England, you could start a petition about that.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
