Hi all,

Not sure if this is the forum for this but since they are recommending a
2 month old baby does not need to eat at night..... Here's the latest
from:
        Virtual Checkup <[log in to unmask]>

>>Virtual Checkup is brought to you by The ChildSecure Catalog --
the world's finest baby products.  Visit us at

The following is your baby's 2 Month Virtual Checkup.  Virtual Checkup
is a
subscription e-newsletter that provides free, expert pediatric
information
at key developmental stages of your baby's life (prenatal through the
first
year).

Sleep:  At this stage your baby may sleep 16 hours or more a day.  You
should begin to encourage your baby to develop a diurnal rhythm -- a
sense
of day and night.  Place your baby into the crib while still awake to
encourage good sleep habits and a sense of self-relaxation.  Avoid
associating sleep with extraneous stimuli that won't be available in the
middle of the night such as rocking, music, lights, patting, food, etc.
Teaching your baby to put his/her self to sleep at this time will lead
to
good sleep habits for a lifetime.  Babies may need to cry themselves to
sleep and this is fine -- do not mistake crying to sleep with a need for
food or stimulation.<<<

I did write them a while back regarding babies nursing to sleep and
sleeping on their own but received no reply.
