We have the issue that Zach won't fall asleep without one of us in the room which is going to be a little tricky once number two arrives in a few weeks! We did a little tester the other day and he's just not ready and he's so sad when we aren't there, I can't bear for him to be sad for such a silly reason! I may regret it but it's my choice and I quite like that special time when it's just me and him and he's dozing off! It's when he keeps turning around before be manages to fall asleep! That drives me nuts hehe!

A lot of people seem shocked when I tell them I still feed Ollie and so I'm a bit reserved about mentioning it.<br />Now that you mention it, Ollie does seem a bit more needy than Lily, but it's hard to compare!<br />You shouldn't need to explain your reasons to anyone, if you're happy with what you're doing then don't change it. xxOur Cherry Treehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08937749901135220555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654200420086509773.post-54663037141214846022016-08-10T09:28:24.161+01:002016-08-10T09:28:24.161+01:00I'll admit, I don't plan on having any mor...I'll admit, I don't plan on having any more children right now so am making the most of the baby snuggles :) xxOur Cherry Treehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08937749901135220555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654200420086509773.post-34560976910869627822016-08-10T09:27:49.839+01:002016-08-10T09:27:49.839+01:00I found so many negative articles and judgmental c...I found so many negative articles and judgmental comments when I was looking at options online.

Its your choice and about your child. Every child is different and every parent is different and we all have to try and find the best choice for both. Enjoy those snuggles, as long as you are happy with the way things are then it is nobody else's business anyway :) xxx #twinklytuesdayAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15520390829505052652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654200420086509773.post-91677902534624204832016-08-09T09:42:17.539+01:002016-08-09T09:42:17.539+01:00I love this post!

Although I have never attempted any sleep training with either, I can see why people are open to trying it as I have heard many great things about it. I just know it isn't for us, but you're totally right! Only we, as their parents, know what is best for our children. #TwinklyTuesdayMessy Mama Crafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06334113074433125405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654200420086509773.post-71192192423922501282016-08-09T09:18:35.382+01:002016-08-09T09:18:35.382+01:00I'm still breastfeeding at 19 months and I don...I'm still breastfeeding at 19 months and I don't think we will be stopping anytime soon-I'm in the middle of drafting a post about it and honestly I never thought I would still be! Arthur has never once slept through the night and wakes regularly for milk at night time. He ends up in our bed usually by midnight as it is the best way for us all to get more sleep. I do think every child is different, but I also think little boys tend to be a little more needy. I know sleep training just wouldn't work for us but it can be hard to explain that to other ppl who think you should. #twinklytuesdaySarah Arthurwearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09182659584731313050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654200420086509773.post-23742176437616661752016-08-09T08:01:07.428+01:002016-08-09T08:01:07.428+01:00I sleep trained my first but not so sure with my s...I sleep trained my first but not so sure with my second.

We are all different and things work differently for all of us. As long as the routine fits your lifestyle, keep doing it! I stryggled to follow a bedtime routine advised in books at first and felt guilty. But I understood later on that is wasn't fitting our lifestyle.

This one isn't at 16 months, still wakes 2-3 times a night and still breastfeeding! You're right all babies are different. And you just take each day as it comes because they're different too! #TwinklyTuesdayAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13869075488649436837noreply@blogger.com
