[quote=Anonymous]My second baby was sleeping 6 hour stretches at 6 weeks and life was great. I thought I had finally gotten a baby who slept. Then we had to stop using the swaddle when he began rolling and we started hitting the sleep regressions, illness, and teething, and good sleep has now evaded me for months. The arc of parenthood is long OP — don’t assume an easy 6 weeks postpartum is indicative of your parenting journey, don’t be smug, and realize that all of us get punched in the face with parenting sometimes. You will get knocked down eventually - might be food allergies, sleep regressions, a learning disability, All kinds of illnesses, etc. I find people unwilling to connect about life’s challenges people who I do not want to be close with or form deep relationships to, because they are so busy keeping up an image of themselves as capable and having their life together. It’s frankly insufferable.[/quote]
