This thread is basically an advertisement for sleep training[/quote]

I agree.

And people who clearly should not be parents.
Getting a good nights sleep is so important.

OP you really need parenting classes[/quote]

People who think I'm a monster for letting my six month old cry for an hour for three nights, yet are ok with their kids being chronically sleep deprived for literal years. Make it make sense. [/quote]

My kids were not sleep deprived and not were we. Kids slept with parents or parents slept with kids. Kids didn’t wake up and if they did they saw parents next to them and fell back asleep because they were not scared of being alone.

Everyone slept great and happy and nobody cared for hours for parents that never came. To each their own[/quote]

Same here. My son is almost 6. He probably still wakes 1-2 per week and comes into our bed. He isnt sleep deprived- he is the happiest, highest energy, joyful kid. He runs circles around other kids his age. He is reading entire books on his own and doing double digit subtraction and addition. He was a struggle as an infant- multiple health issues through about 1.5 years old. He nursed until 2.5, thought weaning would help, it did not. Time and flexibility helped. Also recognizing that he is high touch. Loves cuddles and being with people. Ive considered getting a cat or smaller dog to sleep with him but cant guarantee that would happen so I just enjoy the cuddles as they occur.

Nighttime issues are two-fold in my opinion: lower sleep needs or higher separation anxiety/touch requirements. Outside of actual health issues.

OP it improved, slowly and with lots of setbacks but to be frank, youll find that with people who sleep trained too. Some kids have to be retrained over and over and some parents end up locking their kids in their rooms to keep them in from 7-7 or whatever arbitrary time they decide. \[/quote]
