Sleepy Town

Most people talk about wanting their newborn babies to sleep through the night & somewhere between 7 weeks and two months this just happens for them. And then there are people like me...

Who wanted their newborn to sleep at night...which never happened
Who wanted their 1 month old to sleep through the night..which never happened
Who wanted their 2 month old to sleep through the night..which never happened
Who wanted their 3 month old to sleep through the night..which never happened
Who wanted their 4 month old to sleep through the night.which never happened
Who wanted their 5 month old to sleep through the night..which never happened

This just wasn’t going to happen for Kale and myself, and I will skip all the details about everything I tried so please skip feeling like you have to share the perfect thing that WORKED on your child. Because trust me I have tried it all, and if I haven’t then keep it to yourself anyways.

So I realized that I was just going to have to turn off the monitor at night, close my eyes and sleep...and Kale would just have to learn to do the same if he was clean, fed, and in his crib. This was just going to have to happen this way.

“Wow” you are saying to yourself, “She is really going to trust not hearing her baby on the monitor for 8-12 hours at night”.
I then look at you puzzled, “I thought sleeping through the night was two hours”…
