[QUOTE="SRL, post: 338543, member: 701"] I had three breastfed babies and they weren't good sleepers. They ate vigorously so hunger wasn't an issue (one was 17 pounds at the 2 month checkup!) but they only wanted MOM for comfort and the breast to fall back asleep. I didn't have good success with crying it out because it seemed like every time I was making progress they'd get a cold or ear infection, but if your little darlin' is well and not in teething pain I'd go for it. If we didn't have the illnesses to deal with I think it probably would have worked for two of the three. You also might want to do some reading on sensory integration problems in infants. My youngest was a very sensitive spirit, very tactile, and very much comforted by touch so she always wanted a warm body to sleep by. No matter what we did she wound up back in bed with us until we discovered that she slept well inside a high loft mummy sleeping bag and she used that for years. Not a solution for an infant, but you get the idea of how her behaviors molded to get some very real sensory needs met. One of mine liked to be swaddled tightly (even as an older baby) and have a lullaby tape playing all night. [/QUOTE]
