[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact that you are thinking this could actually work shows a total lack of judgement and intelligence.  You have no business taking care of children.  [/quote]
Welcome to the world of parenting.[/quote]

I have a 15 month old who didn't start STTN until he was 1.  That said, when I was beyond exhausted, especially in the beginning, I was not responsible for DS on my own.  I had my husband's help as well as family.  If I didn't have family, I would have hired someone.   Anyone who is not sleeping more than 2 hours a day TOTAL for consecutive days has absolutely no right to be the sole person responsible for children.  Nanny or parent, my statement remains the same.

What do you suggest for the majority of parents who aren't as fortunate as you are?[/quote]

If they are honestly not getting more than 2 hours of sleep a day (we're not talking broken sleep or short naps here and there) but literally only 2 hours of sleep every day, then they need to reach out to every single resource available.  Church, friends, neighbors, community, lactation groups, mom groups, etc in order to get some help.  It is incredibly dangerous to be that sleep deprived and taking care of a child, let alone a baby.  Again, we're not talking about broken sleep or a night here and there of no sleep, or cat naps throughout the day, we are talking about only 2 hrs of sleep daily.  Just do a quick google search of what happens to your body and mind when you have lack of sleep.

And I have gladly helped friends and neighbors when they have no other means of help.  Even a 2-3 hr nap during the day will help wonders. [/quote]
