I am so pleased with Hannah

Not really sure I agree with the statement that she needs you less and less everyday...LOL

I slept with Jonah forever, he always fell asleep nursing, he slept in my bed, with me in there, without me in there, etc, probably most of his first 2 years. Now? He goes to sleep willingly without me, with me, in my bed, in his bed, etc, and he is 3.5! It has, IMO, everything to do with the child's personality, and nothing to do with these seemingly bad habits we create.

I say snuggle them all day long, twice on Sunday, and enjoy it while you can. It will change.

LOL I know she doesn't really need me less and less... but it sure feels that way sometimes haha. when she wants to feed herself her bottle and doesn't want me to hold it. when she doesn't want to snuggle to go to sleep. where has that little baby gone lol.

My friends pediatrician actually asks her if her daughter is falling asleep on her own in her own crib yet and keeps telling her she needs to start doing that. I'm so glad my ped never even asks let alone tells me that I can't snuggle Hannah to sleep without causing future problems lol.

I agree it is the personality of the child that makes the difference.

Ah, pediatricians! Gotta love 'em- for MEDICAL advice that is...things like, sleep, nutrition, breastfeeding- go to someone that actually has the education to support their opinions.
