I agree with you guys too. Now when I think back, we did try to let Hana fall asleep on her own, once when she was about 4 months old (for like 10 minutes she was crying for us to pick her up and that is where it ended). Back then I thought that that was the end of the world that it did not work out and I did not know if I could survive for another week.... : : : Best to all of you....

Now it is almost 3 months later and I am still here, we still rock her to sleep and I am still able to function - some days it requires more coffee some less.... some nights she surprises us and sleeps 8 hrs straight - it happens more and more often.
This might sound weird but now when I am not breasfeeding any more, rocking her to sleep has become "our time". I am not sure if I want to give this up even if I would get good night sleep in return.......
Just my thoughts. As you can see I do not even know what I want any more :)
: I agree with this part. I'm really thinking more and more and more that maybe I shouldn't worry so much about "training" Hannah and just do what she wants us to do. Millions of babies have been reared this way, including my wife (according to my mother-in-law who I suspect quietly thinks we're being ridiculous).
: : Anyway, I don't know 'bout you guys, but I'm so tired of thinking so hard about the whole sleep issue, with mixed results and unpredictability night after night after night. Or, maybe I'm just plain tired.
