I feel the same way you do about rocking to sleep. Our babies have the same birthday and I still rock her to sleep every night. Like you, I feel she should learn to fall asleep on her own (and she does at daycare), but I love rocking her to sleep! That is such a great idea to have multiple pacifiers in the crib! I’m definitely going to try that because she has woken up at times crying trying to find it. Thank you so much for sharing your tips! Being a new mommy is such a huge learning experience and I love being able to bounce ideas off one another!

In reply to Katie. I'm so glad you shared it with her! Thank you so much. Lennox started sleeping through the night pretty much when we moved him into his nursery. That was around four months. We let him cry it out a few nights and then he was good to go!

Like I said on IG, I think it’s great that you’re using your blog platform to share your journey and what you’re learning as a first time mom- your heart, and desire to encourage is apparent so anyone who leaves negative critical comments you should just keep scrolling by Amy! 🙂 We live in a society so quick to judge, compare, criticize and tear down other Moms/parents.. I don’t think you should feel bad or even apologize.. you’re just putting your story out there- and if it gives even just one mom, especially sleep deprived, new? Exhausted? Etc etc mom encouragement or an idea they hadn’t thought of or heard yet- than that’s awesome! 🙂

Amy, my sister has a five month old who doesn’t sleep more than two hours at a time at night or for a nap. I showed her your post and she wasn’t offended in the slightest. She was grateful for any suggestions that might help make him a better sleeper. Would you mind sharing at what age Lennox started sleeping so well?

You have nothing to apologize for. Some people misunderstand/misread things and feel the need to react negatively.
My daughter slept through the night starting around 5 weeks old. Some of my nieces and nephews didn’t sleep through the night until 10+ months old. BOTH SITUATIONS ARE OKAY! Kids go through sleeping phases and every child is different! Every night will be different in some cases too. You keep being a rockstar mommy!

Thank you for sharing your tips! I learned about the magic Merlin sleep suit from your blog and it worked miracles! From waking every 3/4 hours to sleeping 11/12 hours EVERY NIGHT! Everything is better with a good night sleep (parents and especially babies). We will try the Ergo suit for the winter cold months! Thanks again.

I have 4 kids. 13, 11, 6, & 3. They have all had different sleeping patterns. And what worked for 1 did not always work for the other. My 3 yr old still wakes up every night and comes in our bed. We have tried everything with her. I am constantly looking for input from other parents to see what they have done. Maybe it's something we haven't tried. I love forums where we can ask advice, and not be ridiculed for our opinions. Let's keep supporting each other.

I love this. I rocked my baby until he was around a year then we gradually had to have still cuddles by the bed, onto one arm in the bed, to sitting beside. Fast forward, we have a happy 3 year old who goes to bed and we go straight downstairs after stories. This from the kid who never napped, and could never be put down drowsy, let alone awake. I love these tips and I used to try everything because at the end of the day, no harm no foul right? Xxxx

My son also was a great sleeper… he started sleeping through the night at 8 weeks but he is now going through a sleep regression at 22 months old. He won’t fall asleep without someone sitting in the room with him or rocking him to sleep. We got pretty lucky up until now! Lol motherhood is definitely not easy and things change daily. Amy I think you are an incredible mom and I appreciate how much of your life you share with everyone. Motherhood is so much easier when you know there are other mothers out there going through similar situations.

Love the blog I posted a comment on IG but wanted to share the love here too. You're doing an amazing job and thank you for sharing your journey. To any mommas who get offended remember this is a mom sharing her journey and experience not tearing you down. Your little boy looks so sweet and cuddly.
