Gracie - DS fed to sleep for a long long time. Even now he wants a feed before sleeping, and I have to sit next to him while falls asleep. The MCHN was never happy with me either LOL.. so I stopped going to see her! hehe.

DD on the other hand, I can wrap up and put in her cot and she'll just go off to sleep! (well, sometimes Other times she requires cuddles .. or is it just that I want her to need cuddles? LOL) I think it's just that every baby is different. She doesn't sleep through, but I don't expect that anyway seeing as she's breastfed.

But over time DS has slowly changed from feeding to sleep to just feeding before sleep, and hopefully soon he'll put himself to bed! LOL. Either way, it doesn't last forever, and all I can say is, why give up the quickest, easiest way to get your baby to sleep? Certainly don't put yourself and bub through the stress of trying to conform with everyone else.

I agree with Rosehip Fairy - everyone is lying! LOL. I'd be very surprised if their babies did sleep through like that without fail every night. Babies change all the time, with development stages, teething etc etc.

Don't stress about it You're doing a fantastic job. Just keep following your own instincts.
