Yeah, with DD i would cuddle/BF her to sleep and then as she got bigger occasionally (especialy nap time) i would stick her in the cot and only pick her up IF she cried, and lo and behold, 90% of the time she just went off to sleep. It is so individual - some kids need help to settle/feel secure for a few years, and others never really need it at all. I'm pretty convinced they are born laid-back about that sort of thing or not, it's just personality.

Besides he will be so tiny and gorgeous and cuddly for such a short time, have at it while you can
