[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And for babies that are this ^^ bad, there are two pretty commonly accepted solutions: CIO or co-sleep. Sometimes parents have preferences, sometimes the kid has preferences. It's actually pretty easy to understand. [/quote]

And so whose preferences shouldnprevail?

Have you ever cried so hard you vomited? I can't even begin to imagine how scary and awful that might be.[/quote]
Hey (I'm the quoted pp) and I chose cosleeping which works well for my now 2 year old but is taking a toll on my marriage (just being honest here folks). It's a tradeoff and I didn't mean to imply it was easy to choose but rather that there really aren't that many options when your kid is literally not sleeping. Not to mention that if cosleeping hadn't provide us all with adequate sleep (which it did) I don't think I would have had a choice but to let her cry. [/quote]

I'm the PP the arrows pointed to.  I couldn't co-sleep with my DC.  I'm a very active sleeper and have smacked people across the face in my sleep; I roll, I kick, I flail.  Before we went to a modified (shorter check intervals and more intensive comforting at the checks) Ferber we tried the gentler sleep training options.  But I am very, very tired of people who have newborns or whose kids nurse twice a night telling me I'm evil because my baby learned to sleep on her own via Ferber.  Walk a mile in my shoes, then go all sanctimommy on me.[/quote]
