Unnecessary anxiety

My child won't learn to sleep by herself. She will never sleep in her own bed. She will need to cry it out or else she will get bad habits. We should never rock the baby to sleep
 My list of unwanted and unnecessary anxieties is long. I was so worried my baby would be born underweight. Now she has doubled her weight in 3 months instead of 6. I had no clue she was crying in pain from trapped wind. I now realize the importance of burping her before she goes to sleep. I let her cry in pain thinking that she was just fussy for no reason. I really regret that. She has started sleeping so much better. If I had only known not to feed her so much and all the time. The demand feeding thing is Mayas way to ensure that babies and moms suffer. My daughter demands comfort, milk, and relief from exhaustion in the same way by crying for the nipple. That is not hunger. And feeding her at all those times was terrible for her digestion. Now that her feeding interval is 2 to 3 hours, she is doing much better than before. And since she learnt to suck her own thumb she goes to sleep quite quickly. Perhaps she might have found her thumb sooner if she had slept more? I don't know. But I didn't have to teach her. If I had followed a schedule from day1 I eould have saved her and me many nights of anguish. But somehow I got confused by the demand feeding concept. So much nonsense and mythology.
