My baby doesn’t sleep.
I feel happy for you that your baby sleeps.
I would not wish a non-sleeping baby on anyone. I’m excited that you are able to do so many things in a day while I lie on the couch in a constant state of near delirium.
I read today that being sleep deprived is the equivalent of being drunk. Thus I have practically been constantly drunk for the last 7 months. That is one VERY LARGE HANGOVER!

Although I do not begrudge you that your baby sleeps - I do not want to hear from you how to make my baby sleep. Please don't tell me if I just did this or that my baby would just magically fall asleep easily and sleep soundly for the next twelve to fourteen hours.

Take it from me you either get a good sleeper or you don't. I've got 3 kids 7yrs, 5yrs and 11months. 2 great sleepers but a 5 year old who has only slept through the night a HANDFUL OF TIMES. Yes that's 5 years of no sleep - countless $$$ on baby whispers, tresillian, books, sleep studies etc. you name it we've done it.
I've stopped fighting it, we just roll with it now. Bought a bigger bed, ignore the advice and do the best we can. Still love him though. I feel for you, i'm sure like all mums your doing the best you can.
I 100% agree. My first slept from 6 weeks.....At 10months of age she could sleep for up to 15 hours (we constantly had to check she was alive)....even now aged nearly 8 she loooves her bed. My second, Colicky nightmare from birth.....even now at 3.5 we get up more nights than not (despite same parenting, same routines, same nutrition etc etc)!!!!! I agree, just accept you have a challenging sleeper, stop fighting it and try to enjoy them....they grow up so fast.
I agree with article so badly. I hate when other parents give me advice. Focus on your own kids.
