My baby started sleeping through from the night I brought him home from hospital. (I actually think he would have done it in hospital too if the nurses hadn't been hounding me to feed him!)

I did have a weight loss of 30gms at about 2 weeks so my MCHN told me that he is too young to be sleeping through and I should be waking him etc. I was really upset by this, thinking I was being a bad mother but when I tried to wake him at night he just wouldn't wake up. Remained asleep and floppy! DH and I thought that there must be something wrong with him but nope, he is just like his parents - enjoys his sleep. He also stacked on the weight that week so I knew it was not my lack of feeding for that loss.

It was from that point that I decided to follow my instincts regarding how to bring him up. I still get upset occasionally when people like to tell me I am doing the wrong thing, but I think I get upset because people feel they have the right to tell me how I should be bringing up MY baby.
