Just my thoughts here FWIW...I'm well aware that a sleep deprived mum out there may want to slap me LOL

You go to a dr because there is something wrong right? These sleep drs only exist because people think there is something wrong because their baby won't sleep for long periods at night. IMO until society in general stops perpetuating the myth that babies should sleep for 12 hours straight from 1 month of age then not much will change and parents in a fog of sleeplessness will feel like they are doing something wrong and that their baby has a "problem" when they aren't and he/she in fact doesn't. Too often motherhood is made out to be Huggies and J&J moments, and whilst it is at times, it is damn hard work too. I wish someone had told me that before my 1st, although I probably wouldn't have believed them

I'm a lot more relaxed about it and more self confident 2nd time around, and don't have many anxious moments at all about how badly my bub sleeps, she woke up 5 times last night But having said that, we cosleep to maximise my rest and I can usually catch a bit of shut eye during the day too - don't know what I'd do if I couldn't....
