[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an infant that had never been a good sleeper. We do not believe in CIO or any form of sleeping training - he’s held for all naps and we co-sleep often at night. My good friend has a baby the same age who is a really good sleeper. She is very pro sleep training and schedules. She doesn’t believe in co-sleeping and sleep trained at 4 months old. She had made remarks several times about how I need to sleep train and that me holding my baby for all naps is preventing him from self-soothing. I think some babies are just not good sleepers. Are some babies just better sleepers or can you do things to make a bad sleeper a good sleeper? [/quote]

OMG. Is your DH a bad sleeper? If so, do you think that was caused by his mom holding him all the time for naps as an infant?

You need some perspective. Infancy is a year. Sleep habits change over a lifetime. If holding you baby gets you through the first year, do it. If it doesn't, don't. That's it. Stop worrying and listening to friends who are dumb.[/quote]
