Hi Lee

I echo all the other posters here. You are not doing the wrong thing. Letting your baby cry would be wrong IMO.

I don't do CC either. I have never let DD "cry it out". The most I've done is left her to cry in another room for no more than 2-3 mins while I take a deep breath and compose myself for another go at comforting her. And that's only happened about 2 times.

I am another one who gets comments from people about how happy, quiet, alert and well behaved DD is. She has "slept through" the night about 3 times maybe (she is nearly 4 months). She usually wakes up for one feed at night. We co-sleep and I just pull her over, pull out my breast and off she goes. Doesn't really count as broken sleep even.

I guess what I'm trying to say is: do what works and feels right for you. Enjoy your baby. All babies are different, so there can't possibly be a "right" way that fits every one. As long as both you and your bub are happy, then you are not doing anything wrong.
