sleep training is the nice way to say letting a child cry. whether in arms or by themselves. there are some more gentle ways to do it but to me they all suck. :p
there are many methods of sleep-training that discourage letting the baby cry. dr. sears' "baby sleep" and elizabeth pantley's "no cry sleep solution" come to mind. both suggest responding to your child's cries.
