Why does it seem to be the "done" thing to try and MAKE babies conform for adult convenience.!
I say to myself that I'm here for DS convience, he's not here for mine - he can have a feed whenever he wants (like right now!), and if he needs comfort I'm going to give it to him.

You've got the right attitude to me!
Why would or should we start inforcing adult rules on such an inoccent and not only deprive him of our presence at night but also ourselves the joy of snuggling next to a sleeping baby. We can NEVER EVER get this time back again. Before we all know i, our "babies" will be telling us to get out of their space and leave them alone!
