It's more important what your inner voice is telling you. Does this advice fit comfortably with your own parenting beliefs. There is no right or wrong way to raising a child. What is most important is that it feels right. If both you and your baby are happy with what you are presently doing (including night time feeds) then I wouldn't change a thing.

Goodness! I don't think I have ever met a mother who was capable of listening to her precious baby cry for 4 hours. Does this man have a heart of stone? A cry it out approach is effective but I would never recommend it for any age. I absolutely disagree that by lovingly responding to a baby's cries, a baby will grow to be insecure. It will be quite the contrary in fact.

I hope this answers your question.
