feeding/rocking/singing/cuddling to sleep

[DuelingFanio]

There have been loads of threads recently about CIO and CC and I just wanted to reassure myself that there are other people who are just going with the flow and dealing with being woken in the night still and the lack of sleep it brings.

My DH came home from a dinner the other day saying that his other friends who are parents have babies who sleep through now. My DS is 11 months and can wake up to 5 times sometimes (He is ill at the moment so it's worse than normal) and I just feed him and he goes back to sleep.

Most of my close mum friends do/have done the same so I do have people to talk to but am feeling a little pressure now from people who think I am storing up problems for the future.

Is it ok to just think in time things will sort themselves out and as long as we're getting some sleep then it's ok?

Hi duelingfanio, you shouldn't let any pressure you, it's up to you how you look after your LO. Up until my LO was a year I just dealt with being woken up and lack of sleep but these isues came to a head due to a number of unavoidable circumstances. I suppose it just comes down to what you are able to cope with and whether or not it's an issue for you, we all know thats subjective. I also get grief from people about co-sleeping with my LO but well me and my hubby are fine with it so people who disagree can just deal with it. Worst comes to worst just tell people whatever will get them off your back! The way you deal with your LO is just fine you don't need anyone elses approval.
