Sleep Associations

Are you worried about breaking sleeping associations like nursing or rocking to sleep?

Not at the moment. 2 months is too little for me to worry about that.

Ditto. We feel like we're half way there since they already sleep well in their cribs and go down pretty well...at least DD2 does! We'll deal with all of the rest when we get ready to sleep train, whenever that ends up being.

Nope. The fact that DD typically STTN is good enough for me. I am not too worried about the fact that we generally nurse before sleep.

It can be a challenge. I had to do that will my 1st son, but knowing that - whenever we decide to do it - it will get done, and it's not hurting my son now at 2 months helps me not worry about it for the future.

Not at all. 

TBH, I really don't understand at all why people are so concerned with their babies being used to being rocked or fed to sleep.  Are people already annoyed with having to rock their 2 month old babies before bed, or will this come at 4 months or something?  If your kid is relaxed by snuggling with you before bed I say enjoy it.  You won't be doing it forever.  

Same with the feeding.  Eventually your kid will no longer be nursing/bottle feeding.  That's going to be an adjustment regardless of how you slice it.  

Not to mention, they may outgrow these desires on their own and prefer another way of falling asleep.  

I really would worry about it much further down the line.  Their needs are going to constantly evolve.  I wouldn't worry about things before they're a problem because you never know what you're going to encounter.
