After dd who was the worst sleeper for the first year, I was reliably informed that my next dc would be a good sleeper. Ha!
He was amazing for the first few weeks (preemie, so basically ate and slept until due date), and I was lulled into a false sense of security and admit to feeling just a little bit smug. Now, however, he just cannot fall asleep by himself unless in the sling or pram or car. He's 5.5 months now (although only 4 months corrected).
My feelings of inadequacy and frustration are helpfully buoyed up by my DM who delights in telling me that my sister and I basically lived in our beds for the first year (apparently asleep ) and that she doesn't agree with all this 'sleeping in the sling nonsense'.
So, any help out there? How can I help my baby boy feel content enough to fall asleep by himself again?
