I am in no way advising pushing at all. If your daughter can hold back a little more, it might be beneficial. But. With that said. Nothing breaks a mother's heart like her baby crying cause she's hurt.
In my fog, my son crying would not have moved me. I love him dearly. But he is older and logical. The baby (d4) didn't cry for me. I would have only cried and still left. Not sure about that one. But once the fog lifted...I dunno. I think my crying 13 year old daughter might would have turned me around. I don't know about that. She just wanted everyone to be okay with everything she did (because then she could do it and not feel guilty). But, when neither of you complied, she maybe started to have second thoughts.
Dunno.
Keeping my figners crossed for you. Slow and steady wins the race.
