    is it normal, in your attachment parenting lens, to have DD feed every 2 hours (she is 4 months) ?

    DS is 3 months now and I just started this week and so far it has been very succesful.  I tried at 2 months with no success, but instead trasitioned him from sleeping in my bed to sleeping in his swing.  Starting with naps and working up to overnight.  I have always layed in his crib for at least a little bit each day for him to play or look at his mobile so that he would be familiar with it.  This week I started putting him in his crib with quite music playing and I pat his chest until he is almost asleep then start backing away from the crib so far it has worked.  I can lay him down for his naps awake and he goes to sleep no crying invlolved.

    What is normal for you LO may not be 'normal' for someone else's LO. That being said, DS nursed every 2 hours around the clock pretty consistently until around 7 months. He is 10 months now, and sometimes he still wants to nurse every 2 hours. If he's hungry, I feed him. 

    I have no advice on crib transfer as we are still bed sharing. We did side car his crib, but he doesn't spend much time in it.
