I don't quite get it either. I don't see a lot of difference between frantically patting him in his cot, lying awake listening to him whimper for a long time (I do understand the ''I'm going back to sleep" grizzles) or picking him up and feeding him back to sleep in 5 minutes. Except that feeding him is much nicer and quicker It seems strange that there's all this pressure to have a baby that self settles and sleeps through the night when realistically it's completely foreign to most of them! I'd rather be sleep deprived than go through the stress of trying to teach him to self settle (my DS really really doesn't self settle! so it would be VERY stressful for me!)

I really don't like that it's usually one of the first questions I get asked about DS. There's a lot more to him that how he sleeps.
