I think this is what I needed to hear. I was really confused when I saw that BW recommended CIO after 1 week, so I wanted to know what the norm was. Now that I see everyone recommending 4-6 months, it makes a lot more sense to me. What I need to do is let her fuss for a minute or two if needed, and see if she'll fall back asleep- I haven't even been doing that. But other than that, I'll continue to use the Moby and let her sleep on me for now.
DragonflyBride and AmyFelice- I have never heard of the Amby swing, but I just googled it. I have a borrowed swing, but she doesn't like it (at least, not yet- I'm holding out hope for the future). M, I will let you know if I decide to borrow yours- we'll try some other things first! Thank you!!
Don't think everyone recommends that -- I'm personally anti-CIO but especially before 10m.
My big secret, I let Grey CIO at 4 years 6 months. So I guess I am anti untik then.

TOTALLY agree... just cause its in a book doesnt mean it works for all babies or that its safe!
Babies especially this young are biologically programed to need our help for all things. You CAN NOT spoil a newborn. The fact that this book says otherwise is a HUGE red flag!
Interestingly I have never read this book but just reading the article about what it recommends I am cringing. Yikes! A newborn waiting 3 hours to feed is crazy and eliminating night feeds at 8 weeks sounds just as crazy. That is one book I support banning!
