but perhaps i can not take all the credit... I must admit that the peer pressure from other parents reporting to me with noses in the air that their precious bundles have "beeeeeen" sleeping through night was great motivation... for months i tried to defend my baby and myself by saying "yea but do you nurse" trying to throw in their face that my sweet baby might not be able to really make it through the night without a steady fresh flow of my liquid gold in her belly... but after six months of waking up at 1,5,and 7AM the chinks in my armour were getting larger... i simple ador a good sleep... really i do... i have often put it at the top of my favorite thing list - a nap on the sofa on a rainy day, a super cuddley rest under a soft blanket in the bed on a chilly night, the after a big tastey meal itest sleep... i live for pressing snooze, rolling over, and sleeping in... this pleasure had been stripped from me and i missed it sooo but could imagine enduring my kid crying herself to sleep, while i sat in my room with my breast and eyes leaking... so for months i said naaaa she is not ready yet until they said that i well we would need to just man up for three days of fussy nights in order to set the routine in effect and finally achieve a lifetime of peaceful nights... this recruitment pitch pushed me to enlist myself and draft my hubby into this process... I couldn't stand to know that there were other new parents in the world sleeping longer and better than me...
