Gracie, W doesn't self settle - I feed him to sleep every time. He sleeps in his cot at night, but if he wakes when I put him back after a feed I take him to bed with me. During the day I feed him to sleep lying on the bed, then I can sneak away and do stuff but he wakes after one sleep cycle and I go back to feed him to sleep again. He sleeps through the night sometimes now, other nights we are up 2-4 times. I just take each day as it comes, he seems to have made his own routine lately. I am a bit concerned that my only parenting skill is sticking him on the boob, but it is working for us.

Personally, I think that if it is working for you then keep it up. Poo to what anyone else is doing, you are a great mum.
