I was just saying to DH in the car this evening that it's good that DS is a pretty good sleeper these days coz I need the sleep being pg!.. and phooey to all those people that told us we were creating bad habits by attending to him so many times each night for so long. He still wakes through the night, but he just comes into our bed and goes straight back to sleep now. He gave up his night feeds a few months ago.
You're doing nothing wrong. I know I felt a bit disheartened reading about the "successful" CC stories.. but I just could never do it myself, so we stuck it out.. and in the end, he's a pretty good sleeper now (I prepared myself for 2 years LOL so it's a bonus he's sleeping earlier than that!)
CC doesn't sit right with me, and even moreso now that I've seen first hand how his sleeping patterns change so much.. to CC him would have been fighting with him all the time to fit MY schedule, and I'm pretty sure we would have been very miserable with it. I'd much rather have our wakeful nights and just quickly settle him back down with a bit of boob
Don't feel guilty - you'll feel vindicated in the end when you have a very secure and content bub that DOES sleep throughThere's nothing quite like the proof that's in that pudding!
