I'm reading a great book that talks about the stress that CIO induces and how it can permanently alter a baby's brain. It's called THE SCIENCE OF Parenting. IT even has pictures of brain scans of babies who are not held or picked up when they cry and how their frontal lobes have a lot of black areas versus babies who are responded to each time and are given lots of loving: they have far less black areas in their brains. It's fascinating.
It also talks about how secure and independent those babies are who have parents who help them settle down as opposed to babies who are left to cio. The cio babies actually end up being more clingy and insecure and have lots of anxiety and depression issues later in life.
Of course, its' possible that infants have depression and cio is generally the cause.
