[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you already have sleep trained your baby. Baby has been trained to sleep in your arms and next to you at night. I hope you never have to be separated fir a night as child will suffer. Break these habits now.[/quote]

No. Babies don’t need to be trained to do this; it’s natural & normal. That’s why people have to work so hard to make their babies sleep alone without protesting. Op, do what works for you. If you aren’t happy, make a change. Cosleeping worked great for us. [/quote]

I agree with this. The idea that sleep training your child to sleep alone as an infant is a requirement of loving parenting is SUCH a US-specific view - this is NOT an expectation in many, many, many cultures. I think if a family is ok with their kid not sleeping alone at an early age, that's not neglectful, it's just another way of parenting.

And it doesn't last forever. My seven year old doesn't crawl into my bed at 5 AM anymore. My two year old still does, and I'm generally ok with it. [/quote]
