[blparent] Introduction

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC)]

Aron,
Mine didn't sleep through the night until after she got ear tubes.
If you aren't thinking about this, you want to. He needs his sleep and so do you.
The dirty little secret of parenting is that once you've seen this behavior you'll know what it is and you'll know the solution. But, nobody will tell you "Hey this may not bother you but it isn't okay" until you go through it.
Your son's paterns sound just like my daughter's. My only regret is we didn't get the ear tubes sooner.

You ladies are blessed!  My son is 19 months and not sleeping through the
night yet.  It's not horrible though because we co-sleep and he just wakes
me a couple times per night to have a booby snack and we then both fall
asleep right away again.  I think a lot of it is that he's growing so fast
and just can't go through the night without having some sustenance and
that's alright by me.  I know that when he does start sleeping through the
night, there will be a short period of time when I will keep waking on my
own because my body is so used to it.

Hi Bernadetta,

That's great that he's sleeping through the night already. Jacob was about
seven months old before he did that consistently. I think he did it just in
the nick of time to save my sanity (or what little there is of it, anyway).
