After almost 4 years of parenting I have discovered the secret to getting a baby to sleep through the night: never go to bed yourself!
The longer I stay awake in anticipation of my son waking for the first time, usually between 11 PM and 12:30 AM, the longer he waits. If he hasn’t woken up by 12:30 I usually wait longer. Once I decide to give up, typically around 1 AM, he starts to cry as soon as my head hits the pillow.
Coincidence? I think not. More like a conspiracy to rob mothers of their sleep even when they are sleeping.
Damned if they do {sleep}, damned if they don’t {sleep}.
