You can hate on me all you want. Instead of bellyaching, I took steps from early days to get my child to be a good sleeper. They were work, but all the steps worked. Child went from screaming all night to sleeping through the night in six weeks. Needlessly to say, the whole household was happier, and my marriage still flourishes because we were on the same page.

I'll take it. [/quote]

What about the people who take the same steps and the steps don't work? Are you as smug to them?[/quote]

With almost all my friends and almost every thread I read, I see people don't take steps to get their child to be a good sleeper. They give in almost immediately. So instead of sleep training in 3 nights, 3 years later they are still miserable.

Of course it won't work for every child. Nothing works for every child. But sleep training probably works for about 80 percent of kids, under the old 80/20 rule.

Someone called me an "asshole." How nice. But while it's great to have commiseration (YES, MARRIAGE WITH KIDS DOES SUCK. WE WERE ON THE BRINK OF DIVORCE!!!!) what is even more helpful is to know that you have the power to make changes.
