Just wanted to sort of reply to your Parents magazine post...I know its hard when you read stuff that makes you second guess your decisions...but I want to ditto ditto ditto the following

Please, please don't sweat it.  If sleep-training isn't something you want or feel able to do right now (or ever!), then don't.  Your son will be fine and he will STTN on his own in good time.  I know some parents feel that they should, but there really is no "should" in parenting.  Trust that you are being a good parent, even if you choose to delay sleep-training (or never do it).

As for overnight getaways - that's a personal decision.  I didn't feel ready (nor did I want to) until Cal was 20 months old.  It went beautifully.  I'm sure we could have done it at a much younger age and he would have been fine (though I agree with pp that if he's EBF and still nursing at night (for actual sustenance), it might be best to wait until that's no longer the case.

Mousey.  Mousey, mousey, mousey.

Seriously?  Parents magazine has you second guessing yourself?  Girl don't make me come over there and take that magazine away.

Entertainment purposes only.  Jones has never read Parenting magazine.  He doesn't give a shiit what it says. 

I'm not a sleep trainer myself, but certainly have seen lots of people implement some sort of sleep training methods WELL after 6 months with results they are happy with.  

Leave your baby overnight by 9 months or forget about it.  BAH HAAA!  That is so stupid.  

 

and if you didn't read schmoodle's post about sleep training, need a reminder or just a good laugh here goes.....

    HA!  thanks :)  I actually printed out that "letter" and took it to my DH when she posted that!  love it!

    Its funny...just last week I had a big ego moment thinking "damn, I'm a good mom!" and then, not even a week later, I get all freaked out by a magazine article....maybe the sleep deprivation is warping my mind! Stick out tongue
