I went back upstairs 3 times at bedtime to settle M who was missing her night time bottle, but she was asleep by 7.30pm and didn't wake until 7.30am. 12 hours straight through definitely earned M her second present:
I feel such a mixture of emotions this morning:
Proud of M - she really loved her milk and yet she made so little fuss
Proud of myself - I must have chosen the right time and method to do this
Foolish - why didn't I do this a year ago if it was so easy?
Slightly cheated - I had geared myself up for a battle of wills which only my strongest parenting power could win
Sad - M will never be a baby again
Relief - maybe I can start sleeping through as well now.
Another parenting rite of passage gone through.

I've just scrolled down to read your previous post - so glad your fears were unfounded (so far - I do hope that continues!) Good for M, and good for you xx
So glad to hear it all went well!
