Manipulating you? Wow, these babies are getting evil! Lol. And if you're being manipulated, then so am I. I feed Mack to sleep (all the time), and in the evenings, when he is asleep, put him 'to bed' in his rocker (he WILL not sleep in his bassinet). Leave it in the lounge with us until we go to bed, carry rocker into our room. Then when he wakes up after however long, he's straight into bed with us, and. Feed him in bed. I get terrible sleep, but I think it would be the same if I got up and fed him then put him back in the rocker for another few hours or so. A Doctor I took him to when he had his chest infection (maybe two months old? I forget), asked if he sleeps with me in bed, or at least in the same room, and he said that was a very good thing "not like these other babies who are put away in a seperate room and the door shut". Don't you just love old-school Drs?
