Delayed responding to LO cries?

How old was your LO when you started to kinda respond later at their cries to help self soothing? Like they are fed, changed, burped, but just bored I guess? Crying to be held and for attention.

Probably a year.

If they cry to be held, I hold them.
My kids are 16 months and 2.5 years and I'm still pretty quick to respond to their cries.

I was thinking that was a good age, not making them wait an hour but just like 5 or 10 minutes to see if they will stop or not

That's good, I just feel like I'm not one to constantly hold him when he cries when he's a little older. He's heavy now and squirmy lol I can't imagine 6 months down the road...

Around 12 months when she started being a sassy pants

Oh I'm not saying YOU have to, lol. Just saying what I do.

I can definitely tell the different between when they're just being bratty and really want attention  

Sometime after a year.

Ditto. I feel comfortable at that point.

Never. If they cry I go to them, regardless of what it's for. They are 6 and 2.

cry? never. unless I really cant get to them, like if I am changing one kid or feeding. My kids are 9 weeks and 20 months. Let them fuss a bit, id say around 6 months. by fuss i mean not a cry just like a whine because the toy didn't do what they wanted or something like that.

DS is almost 1 and is currently mastering the fake cry. lol. I don't cater to that one... But real cries I respond to.

I don't respond to tantrums but any other time they cry I go to them and they are 4, 3 next month and 4 months.
