[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my son was younger, I was completely traumatized by trying to get this child to sleep - he never slept unless he was on top of me or in the car. I would be soooo jealous of all my friends whose babies would sit quietly at the table. Mine would scream the minute we sat down to eat. I was disinvited to the mommy and me lunches that all my friends would have. Even when he was two or three, at least that's when we stopped trying, he never could sit quietly at a restaurant. He would wake up consistently between 5 and 6am. But the thing is, he is a natural athlete. He's 16, he can run all day long. He can play any sport and be brilliant at it. He still can function happily on a few hours sleep. I suspect yours might be the same. What seems like a disadvantage or a problem when your baby is a baby just might be their natural talents beginning to show through. [/quote] In hindsight, what would have helped you back then? Would knowing about his future brilliance have gotten you through the sleepless nights? Or were there concrete things that helped you get through the next 15 minutes or half an hour? [/quote]
