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]

Why the arrogance?[/quote]

Why the helplessness?

As I said, I spent more than a decade listening to friends complain about their sleepless nights. So after my son was born, and he wasn't sleeping at all at night, I decided I was going to take action right away.  VERY few of the people complaining about sleepless nights have actually taken the time to sleep train. Instead they get into the habit of rocking their kids to sleep, running at every peep, lying down with their kids for hours, etc. This was  the case with almost all of my friends who had poor sleepers. It may start with the child, but it is enabled by the parents. And you can see it over and over again on these threads.

Oh stop! Your stupid baby didn't have reflux if you got him to sleep through the night at six weeks so quit lying or deluding yourself. My reflux baby dropped from the 40th percentile to the 19th due to her reflux being so bad and was up every 90 minutes until 6 months due to hunger and pain. If your baby slept all night at six weeks YOU GOT LUCKY and had an easy going baby. You are not a genius, and you did not just happen to want to sleep more or have a better life than the rest of us did. We had kids who actually had issues that weren't "trainable." [/quote]

Wow, angry much? Yes, he had reflux. We were luck in the Zantac really helped. He had an included crib, and I kept him upright for 20 minutes after every feeding. We were indeed lucky, and by six weeks his reflux had eased. I'm not a "genius" -- never said I was. What I did say was that I was willing to help my child find the tools to sleep through the night early on.

You can call me all the names you like. It doesn't change the truth of the matter.

Clearly you are not a genius. You haven't learned tact or empathy. Hopefully, you just have the one kid and he won't grow up to be a self righteous prig like you.[/quote]
