how old were your bubs when you started to leave them to self settle? im thinking i need to start doing it with my son who is 3 months old, at night he is constantly waking and will go back to sleep once i go in and settle him, he doesnt want feeds or anything cos if i put him to the boob he just fall asleep after a few sucks... do you think he is too young to leave cry for a while? im unsure as i didnt have to with my first till about 6 months.
