"So why won’t your baby sleep through the night and why does everyone who says their baby does feel compelled to share that lie!"
Starting to get a bit fed up with all the sleep shaming that's going on. My baby has slept through since 2 months, not due to anything I've done but his own choice, and I feel very lucky indeed. But article after article talks about why babies shouldn't sleep through the night, why it's vital that they wake for food, comfort etc.
And at my baby group, I'm very lucky to be part of such a welcoming, non-competitive, supportive group of ladies, but the baby was young I would often have to fudge the sleeping question as my honest answers weren't met with enthusiasm.
This is not a woe is me post, I'm definitely not complaining about my lot, and I understand that these sorts of articles probably provide comfort to a lot of very tired people, but why the need to demonise?
