I know exactly what you mean Anna. Apart from the BF ( no more BF for me) holding my beautiful sleeping DS is just magic. Sometimes I find myself sitting there cuddling him & watching his little face long after he's asleep just because I love it so much. Sometimes I think I'm putting off trying to get him to self settle because I miss the cuddles. I say, he will just cry if I put him down so I just keep holding him. I don't mind much
