[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in for a 6-mo. thread, as I'm a FTM and am flying by the seat of my pants.  
No words of wisdom on night feedings...kiddo usually goes just about all the way through but it's not because we did anything smart. Just her style.  Don't worry, the universe will eventually seek its revenge on us for our good fortune in sleeping.  I'm bracing myself and waiting for the other shoe to drop. 
My issue is that I know I *should* be sleep training and putting her down drowsy but awake, but I don't. I feed\rock to sleep every night. I secretly love it, and kid is out like a light. Will I pay for it later? Anyone else avoiding CIO and sleep training? Waiting to incur DCUM wrath... Be gentle![/quote]

I'm the poster who is having trouble with night feedings. I also have a preschooler who slept through the night pretty early (adding to my angst over DD who is still up to eat!).  I never did CIO with DC#1 and enjoyed rocking to sleep. It never caused any problems and worked just fine for us.  I did cut out feeding-to-sleep around a year and it wasn't a problem. I figured "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".  You shouldn't feel any pressure to do drowsy but awake or CIO if you're not having any issues.  If your child goes down nicely after some rocking and you enjoy it - there's nothing wrong with that.[/quote]
