[quote=Anonymous]Just a quick perspective about sleep/stress/etc. Everyone is different. Every baby is different. The first few months were hard and the regressions were also very hard, but for the most part, we did sleep. In fact, after the first few months, I probably got more sleep than I did before because I prioritized it and went to bed! This isn't true for everyone, but for me, it was. My daughter also wasn't one of those magic babies that slept through the night at 8 weeks either, we had a 2am wake up till about 8 months, but my body got in the habit of waking up, nursing her, and going back to sleep. When I felt anxious, that did keep me up, when I didn't things were okay. I know this seems hard, but take pregnancy and then motherhood as it comes. You will sleep, read, exercise, cook, (whatever your interests are) again. The first year was hardest, but there was also a lot of joy there. Being around my husbands relatives/out of our routine did (does!) stress me out so your SIL may not have been in the best place.

I'm about to do it all again, and am scared too! It's normal. Don't feel guilty about it. [/quote]
