[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My babies weren’t bad sleepers they were just human babies!  Without sleep training (meaning let your baby cry) both my babies were sleeping through the night (12 hours with one dreamfeed).

They are both great little sleepers now at 3 and 5.  Both go to bed easily and happily and have no anxiety issues (which I think is tied to too young sleep training). [/quote]

Lol. You have absolutely no idea at 3 and 5 if your kids will have anxiety. [/quote]

I know they don’t have anxiety now like several kids in their classes do. 
And only old people use “lol”. [/quote]

DP. As the parent of a child with severe anxiety I suggest you get away from this idea that your child does not have anxiety because you're such an awesome parent. It's genetic. We really have a terrible attitude towards mental illnesd in this country, and you are part of the problem.[/quote]

DP.  Look, a child not sleeping and being up every hour or few hours for years can’t be good for anxiety.  [/quote]

Oh is that your medical opinion? Look lack of sleep is definitely bad for health (I am pro sleep training)  but there is no evidence of long term harms from either sleep training or not sleep training. There is no need for you to stigmatize mental  illness in this debate, so just stop.[/quote]
