Sure, but when you ridiculously exaggerate it makes me wonder what else of your post you're exaggerating.


Get your facts straight. I didn't respond with the sleeping and milestones debate. I do believe in it's true. Do some research and you will see it's not an " exaggeration". Then go MYOB since I didn't write that.


So you're not the one who knew the very developmentally delayed child due to her poor sleep habits and nothing else? My bad. No MYOB here though - are you new ?


I do know that but I wasn't the one who posted about it. I've been an infant nanny for 20 years. I know more about infants than most people on this forum. I'm not here either.


Reading comprehension fail. Question asked if you knew this supposed severely delayed child, not if you "knew" the research. I can see you're not all here, no need to clarify.


I did bother to respond to that because I didn't write it. I just agreed with the poster who wrote it.



Didn't and I meant " I'm not knew here". Stop trying to start stuff. Go get a job and a life.


Oh, ouch, some of us get to leave our jobs at the door, believe it or not. Some of us also do what our bosses ask of us because that's what we are paid for.

Op here. You clearly can't read. This isn't even what I was talking about or asking. Don't comment when you have no clue what I'm posting about. I didn't start this debate. Read my actual posting. HE is 4.5 months and needs his sleep. MB wants me to wake him, even though he gets cranky and fussy all day. This has nothing to do with whether he splits his naps, or takes a longer one.


It sounds like they'll be the "right" length for your MB if you wake him and he takes the 3 vs 2. So I would do that. If he is cranky, she'll catch on at night and ask you to go back.

Ugh. My nanny family was like that and still is. Both kids sleep terrible at night because of it. I have to wake the three year old up after 1 1/2 nap. He does nothing but whine and cry after I get him up the rest of the afternoon. I've left him sleep till he wakes up naturally sometimes and let me tell you he's a much happier guy when he wakes and we enjoy our day.

I doubt it. They pay me well but I don't sit on my butt. I am doing laundry, organizing his clothes/closet, sterilizing toys/bottles, looking up activities, emptying the dishwasher, tidying up the house, etc. I get about an hour to myself a day when he naps, which I eat lunch and snacks. I wish he was up more. I enjoy getting playing with him and getting him out. I constantly find myself occupying myself with tedious tasks.


I do like that he is getting the required sleep he needs in order to grow and develop. I am happy that he isn't cranky because he is sleep deprived and exhausted. I've seen a baby that was very developmentally delayed because the little sleep she got. I am glad that he is getting the best care he needs and deserves.


Developmentally delayed because of sleep? That's really hard to believe, TBH.


Do some research. It's quite common. Babies grow during sleep. Babies who don't get the required sleep needed have been shown to be delayed with rolling over, sitting up, crawling, walking, talking, etc.


If it continues long enough to cause SEVERE developmental delays long term, there is likely an underlying issue causing problems with sleep (and delays), not vice versa. Please show me one iota of evidence that there is a child who was otherwise typical but didn't get good naps as a baby and as a result has major developmental delays and that's the proven cause.


Well take babies who grow up in abusive and/or neglectful homes whose sleep is constantly interrupted. A baby growing up without adequate sleep is going to have issues later on.


This is true, but kids in a typical home, even if they don't get excellent naps, are typically not sleep deprived to that point or for that long. If the sleep is THAT BAD I would expect doctors to be looking into the cause.
