Yea man, gotta stop that. Mine has been putting herself to sleep since she was a month old. My guess is if she wakes up at night, she needs someone to help her go back to sleep and will cry regardless.

it's true but my wife will not do that. I have no problem with it, I don't wake up in the middle of the night, only on the weekends. And a lot of times she will still sleep thru the night.

and my wife refuses to let her go to sleep on her own so we have to rock her to bed. I think that has something to do with it too...

Yeah, that'll do it.

My boy stopped taking the boob around 3 months, so she pumps and we bottle feed.

Also, we just had to put him down whether he was ready or not and let him cry himself to sleep. Sucked at first but now he's on a schedule and goes to sleep no problem.

We give him a jar of stage 3 food and a stage 2 veggie followed by crunchies and a wagon wheel for dinner each night. he'll take one more bottle of boob juice about an hour after that and then he's ready for bed

things are a lot better though and I would rather sacrifice a little sleep then *** with my wife. That make me whipped? probably but o well *** it.

I've heard about what you guys are saying -- that we should basically be loud as hell while the baby's in the room. I'm going to try my best.

Yeah, but you'll have to start locking the door and being more quiet when he's older....oh wait

I know what you mean. My slacker half didn't want to do things I knew were needing to be done until the kids doc confirmed that she was full of poo poo.

well she asked the doc and the doc said rocking her to sleep is fine because that's what she did. so that didn't help lol.

anywayz enough about me...congrats bb and enjoy the pregnancy and all, get as much sleep as possible, and remember u will never be fully prepared for what's next to come.

[Kettle]

and its better then paying 150 a week for daycare

that's cheap from what I hear.

Your wife works weekends and nights?

But yeah, you and your wife will have to work out "taking turns" to cover each other's sleep patterns...

Gone are the days of sleeping until 10:00 or 11:00 on a Saturday or Sunday, and in are the days of getting up at the crack of dawn and being spit up and peed on from time to time...

I equate it to my college days... hahahahahahaha

i haven't slept past 9 in probably 4 yrs. i guess it's just the way i'm wired. even in college i'd stay up till 4 partying, and be up at 11. 6 to 8 hours of sleep is all I've ever really needed.

If she is not going to breast feed, you guys can take turns on getting up and can still get 5 hour of sleep at night. That's what we did. He never slept in the bed with us and was in his own crib, sleeping through night at 9 weeks.

You just gotta treat them like a woman and make sure they know their role and they live in your world. Things will work out fine.

the best feeling in the world. congratulations

Congrats Beaux.

My little girls continue to wonder how I pee standing up. Look forward to hiding this secret.
