[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m really shocked by how little many of you prioritize your own sleep. I can’t be the best mom to my kid if I don’t get good rest most of the time. 9 months is way past the point where your kid should require additional nutrition unless something is wrong (ask the ped, etc). All babies wake up all night long, and they are more awake during those periods towards the morning. The question is only whether they go back to sleep on their own or whether you help them. If you keep helping, why would they go back to sleep on their own? And actually your baby is so mature that he DOES, with only a little fussing, and yet you are still getting out of bed every night. I think that’s madness. [/quote]

I agree with this, although I'd say it nicer. ;)

I am a terrible mom if I am tired. And, my children/babies are grumps if they're tired. Therefore, we sleep train. [/quote]

OP. The actual answer is prioritizing tonight’s sleep over future nights’ sleep. We do/have sleep trained, but I dread the sleep I’ll lose if I say good night and just don’t go back into his room until 6am. Clearly I need to bite the bullet. Full extinction?[/quote]

FWIW, I wasn't intending to do full extinction but I found "pop-ins" made the crying waaaay worse and basically prolonged the pain of cry it out. We finally did full extinction and after a few painful days, baby finally sleeps through night.

All parents I've spoken to found the same and used full extinction. I have yet to find a parent where pop-ins were successful lol[/quote]

OP. This was my experience with my older kids, but this guy will wake up and fuss a couple minutes. If I stick my head in and say “good night!” he just goes back to sleep. If I don’t he only fusses a few minutes but then I’m VERY AWAKE because mom adrenaline. [/quote]
