[quote=Anonymous]Yeah I've been sleep deprived but I wouldn't trade my kids for sleep. Sleep deprivation isn't even the worst thing about being a parent.

We sleep trained around 10 weeks and all 3 were STTN 12-7am by 12 weeks old. The only times my kids have woke up between those times have been when they've vomited, peed the bed or something else is equally wrong. The older they get, the more trainable they are. We have yogurts with spoons in them ready on weekend mornings. Kids know to tiptoe to the kitchen, grab their yogurt and then go to the basement to play. They even use that bathroom. It's glorious.

I did have trouble getting myself back to sleep postpartum and I took OTC sleeping pills for a while until my body got used to sleeping through the night again. I weaned myself and am back to sleeping nicely. With a newborn I was so sleep deprived that I had no trouble falling asleep instantly after breastfeeding.

Also, side note- who are all of you who are changing your babies at night? I only remember that being once or twice per baby and that's just for poop diapers. [/quote]
