For the most part Im all for self settling, but also there is nothing more loving than watching your baby sleeping in your arms They get big so fast and then they wont want to sleep in your arms.
Boo to your DH IsaacsMum ll, I would tell mine to shut up if he said that to me hehe

OT , Love your new wedding sig Sheen

I let Ty self settle usually too, however, Im very lucky with him , he falls asleep as soon as his head hits the mattress.

But sometimes, ok, a lot of the time , I sit on my bed having cuddles with him and just being with him , and I look at the time and an hour or so has passed, and what better way could I think of to spend the time ?
Vacuuming ? Ironing? Oprah ? Eating? those things will still be there, but my little boy is growing and changing every day , and I know all too well, as I look at my big baby girl , that they really don't stay babies forever, and there will come the time when you would do anything to have these moments back .
Enjoy them , don't feel guilty about them , or worry about what it might do to them in the future, the future can wait, the moment, and love , can't.

Thanks guys... I appreciate your feedback
He has been pretty good with going to sleep within half hour- so I am just enjoying the time with him. Its easy to feel like your doing something wrong all the time...I noticed that in the first few weeks of having himactually- everything was about how you could do better, or what you could change, and not about what you were doing right, or how well things were actually going.... all the messages we get from various associations and blah blah....
Easy to get caught in the 'how do I do it right' when you already are, and there is nothing wrong with it. iykwim.
Guilt is my middle name- I feel guilty about everything! ah

Oh well- glad Im on the right track, and its ok to let him fall asleep with me.... yay.

thanks y'all
xx

Yeah, then over the weekend DH went to put him down for a nap. . . 1/2 and hour later I wondered why he wasn't back, went to check to find DS happily asleep in DH's arms
