[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have known plenty of sleep deprived babies and toddlers. It impacts everything, just like in adults. They’re moody, quick to get upset, have difficulty training. People that let their kids go for their first most formative years in that state are misguided and doing their kids a disservice. I pity those kids, same as you probably pity mine.[/quote]

Only those in daycare settings or home with lots of other kids.  If you let a baby and toddler sleep when and how they want, they aren’t sleep deprived.  [/quote]

DP.  This is a laughably ignorant statement. [/quote]

Another DP, but no, it's not.

Sleep impacts everything, but you do NOT have to train babies to sleep. They are born knowing how to sleep. They sleep in utero. Do you see other mammals training their babies to sleep?

"Sleep training" is a Western creation of recent vintage designed to accommodate societal demands on parents. It has nothing to do with the needs of children whatsoever.

If you meet sleep deprived kids, it's due to environmental factors that are disrupting their natural sleep cycles. It is not due to their parents failing to teach them how to sleep at night.[/quote]
