It's very annoying isn't it? Like the whole point of being a parent is to get your child to sleep - and this message is reinforced through all those expert parenting books that focus on sleep and the parenting helplines that hand out advice on how to fix the problem of no sleep.
Like your child and their behaviour - totally normal and healthy - is a problem to be solved.
I like to take a long-term view. What's important to me is the adult my child will one day be and I try to make decisions with that in mind. Whether or when they sleep through the night is pretty irrelevent in that context.
i know howhard it is having no sleep for a long time - parents need help and support to get through that, not to be constantly told that there's something wrong with them or their babies if they're not behaving a certain way.
