This post by Ava Neyer touches on how confusing and frustrating infant sleep patterns can be and the advice out there isn’t much clearer. You can basically find something to support any field of thought on infant sleep if you dig deep enough. I’ve heard a lot of people say that their babies “just aren’t good sleepers.” While, this may be true in some instances, unless you’re willing to try a lot of different methods, you shouldn’t put the blame on your baby like that. If your baby isn’t responding well to one method, move on to another and if that doesn’t work try something else and so on. There are so many varied methods of sleep training that you should be able to find one that works for you and your baby. Don’t give up.
So read this.
On another note, I am once again going out of town. This time I am heading north to the tiny and lovely town of Eliot, Maine to spend a week with my parents before we all head back to the D.C. area for my younger brother’s wedding. I will be taking Asher with me, but sadly Rafaan, can’t spare the vacation days so it will be my first time flying alone with the babe. While, I’m going to miss my hubs immensely, I’m so thankful to him for understanding my need to spend quality time with my parents and giving me his blessing to take his son away from him for a whole week. I do not think I’d be able to do the same if our roles were reversed. He truly is the better half of us.
Needless to say, posting may be light while I’m away, but I promise to document our trip thoroughly. I have a lot of requested posts that I am currently working on in draft form in the queue. So, if you’ve requested a certain topic, rest assured it’s coming and thank you for your patience.
