[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sleep stuff. My son is 4 and still wakes up throughout the night, and always finds us. I haven’t been rested in so long - and yes, that’s just parenting, but I wish I had sleep trained when my kid was in a crib so that he had some concept of how to put himself back to sleep without us. I didn’t have the heart and figured it would resolve on its own and it just hasnt. It’s impossible to do when they are this age, and yes, he will figure it out at some point, but knowing that he’ll stay in his room by age 10 is cold comfort right now. [/quote]

I am deeply sympathetic to the pain of sleep deprivation because mine was the absolute worst sleeper ever until 20 months, but please know you’re an outlier. Most kids who aren’t sleep trained do figure it out, usually around 2. Some don’t, but that’s rare. Joining groups that normalize infant sleep biology has been helpful for me since I also choose not to sleep train.

Mine is 24 months and now sleeps through some nights or wakes once but has never ever slept in our bed. Her sleep improved on its own over time.[/quote]
