I remember reading lots of posts about how it was important to rock our newly adopted son to sleep in order to create an attachment. He simply would not be rocked. Like your son, mine needed to be rocked with a bottle, and then put in the crib to fall asleep on his own... and rest assured, he is very attached. This did not harm him.

I simply changed what I did to create attachment. One reason that the rocking is so important is because of the all-over touching. I started making it a point to exagerate the cuddle time we had during the day to make up for the lack of cuddling as he fell asleep.
