I used this 'technique' when I night-weaned DD. But TBH I shudder at pigeon-holing every practice we may follow in our parenting journeys. Is there really a need to define what you are doing when you are acting on your instincts and trying to work out what works for you and your family?

While I am interested in information on what happens when a baby or child experiences a certain event so that I can consider it, I am not so keen on needing to justify every decision I make as a parent.
