Unfortunately sometimes I feel like a rubbish mother because I'm still struggling with sleep issues, when other people I know who do 'tough love' seem to have it under control.
that's exactly how i feel as well. but then in the last month, DS has slept through the night twice & i feel vindicated. it's only twice but i feel so good that we've had that while still sticking with what we think is the best way to parent our DS. he's been fed to sleep 80% of the time, we co-sleep, he's on a matress on the floor & has spent maybe only 20 nights in his cot....and we've still seen improvement. and yes, i've yelled, i've screamed, i've cried but we've still stuck with it!
