Why YSK: Service Dog etiquette is to leave them alone as to not distract the dog’s focus. If they’re approaching you, they could be using a last ditch effort to save their owner. They will usually follow you, whine, bark, or otherwise try to grab your attention if this is the case.
So far almost everything I’ve read is either inconclusive or suggests that letting babies “cry it out” has no benefits that are tangeable or, as some studies found, it’s even a possible risk for the babies development:
The “sometimes or more” group of “ignoring the crying baby” from six months to three years reported relatively consistent significant associations with developmental delay in communication (maximum adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 1.456, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.261-1.682), gross motor (maximum aOR: 1.279, 95% CI: 1.159-1.411), fine motor (maximum aOR: 1.274, 95% CI: 1.113-1.457), problem-solving (maximum aOR: 1.178, 95% CI: 1.104-1.256), and personal-social domains (maximum aOR: 1.326, 95% CI: 1.255-1.402).

If you have anything substantial to the contrary, I would love to read it :-)
For context, it was well past his nap time. We had a schedule to help set his sleeping pattern. We paid a professional to guide us with setting a baby’s nap and feeding pattern as well. Clueless and loving parents can sometime fall for every single cry. It’s not enjoyable for us to let our baby cry alone, but it has to be done at times.
Following baby’s desire whenever and wherever, would lead to fatigue for parents and child. Fatigue parents are no good to a baby.
I suggest not to draw into conclusions too easily. It’s easy for the world to label everything as abuse now adays.
