@jaxsn Sounds like you've raised a very sane son, congratulations On an unrelated note, you accidentally said "elicit" instead of "explicit"

@sh419ob Mostly anecdotal here: If you ever intend to do sleep training, you'll want them off pacifiers at night by then (6-7 ish months). Reason being: you don't want them waking up at night because the pacifier fell out; they should be self-soothing instead. Also, we had a friend whose child...

@emily1994 I don't think we're talking about doubling the water in the formula. Just a few extra ml

@overcomingme I didn't say it was "sooo bad". It's not a huge deal. We like to avoid them because 1. Adults don't throw tantrums and refuse to sleep without the crutch and 2. In the case of breastfeeding, the crutch will need to go away eventually anyway, so why get them in the habit to begin...

@thex Apparently I'm offending and/or scaring a lot of people. Being a deeply awkward person, could you do me a favor and tell me what is so "yikes" about what I said?

@blazer70x7 I felt like I was being extremely mild with my suggestion, even if it was contradicting the person I replied to, but sorry if it came off "harsh". I of course didn't mean it that way

@mjkobe Feels like you know exactly what the issue is. You need to set boundaries and actually keep them. It really is that simple.

@blazer70x7 No, and I'm not saying it'll ruin anything forever. Don't put words in my mouth please. What I'm claiming is that it may make things harder in the future. I'm happy for you that your LO self-weaned, but do recognize that yours is not the usual case. Most parents need to make the...

@petercm I disagree. Feeding them to sleep creates a sleep crutch that you definitely don't want to be there later when you start weaning. Eat-Wake-Sleep is preferred for this reason Edit: the other (probably main) reason is because just like adults, babies have lower quality sleep if they eat...

@petercm Just Google "food before sleep" or "eating before sleep" or similar. Acid reflux is a concern for many babies (including mine for sure!), but the digestive process also takes energy away from the activities your body performs during sleep. Sounds like it's not a big deal for your baby...

@yamila No, but it will make a difference when you decide to start weaning. What happens when he needs to nap and you aren't planning to feed him?
