I know there are tons of people on here with poor sleepers, some worse than my own, so I shouldn't feel isolated but I don't know one person IRL who has the difficulties I do. Sister's kids, all three EBF, all slept through the night by 3 months - no CIO. SIL's kids, FF, all slept through the night by 4-5 months - no CIO. Me & my sister? Slept through the night from 2 months on - no CIO. I have three friends who had babies the month before my DS was born. THEY all sleep through the night. I don't even want him to sleep through the night, he is only 5 months old, I just want him to stop waking up every hour or two! The only person I know who had any trouble solved it by CIO at six months, which I just don't think I'm cut out for.
I just so wish I had a sister or a friend who had BTDT. It would make me feel so much better. My rational side knows it's not anything that I am doing or not doing, but I can't help but let the feeling creep in that I am not a good mother and that I'm doing something wrong!
Just needed to get that off my chest after three failed attempts to get DS to take a nap... bedtime is still five hours away and I'm already dreading it...
