I've compared notes with other parents, and we discovered that all children are essentially identical, and every parenting idea that worked for any one of us has worked for everyone's kids equally. It's pretty great how easy this turned out to be. /s
My baby has been sleeping incredibly well since he was 3 months old. Fellow parents ask me the magic formula and, most often, when I share what we have been doing, it’s something they have already tried and didn’t work. We just are very lucky, there is honestly very little else…
Yep. It sucks, but it's often just gotta be per-kid trial-and-error.
