In reply to never waking a sleeping baby. I only use that philosophy when I am sleeping. During the day I would wake him up after a 3 hour nap. This was until he started sleeping through the night. Now that he's 8 months he never naps longer than 2 hours anyway unless he's not feeling well. My doctor said not to let them sleep longer than 2-3 hours during the day and I think it was 4 hours at night until they are gaining weight consistantly. My son has a shirt that says "Don't Wake Me, I'll Wake You!".

Christy, I just went through this my baby is 9 days old today. I actually did give her several bottles and now regret it as my milk as decreased and it's not easy to increase again. The pacifier is a lifesaver for me. Some babies just have a need to suck and it hasn't caused any extra problems for me. I'm so glad I stuck with it. It will get better I promise.
