- thegyppo 16y agoI can forsee a name change happening on HN for you?
- eatsleepdev 16y agoYeah, it should just be eatdev now.
- gubatron 16y agosame here, 1.5 months behind you.
- wazoox 16y agoThe hard part is getting her to sleep at night. That implies tough stuff, like not letting her fall asleep to eat some more at night, and letting her cry in her crib, in her room, later. Life is hard :)
- Tichy 16y agoIt shouldn't be hard for babies, I think. Is she a nuisance to you, ie merely something that stands in the way of you doing the things you want to do?
- eatsleepdev 16y agoI think I'm lucky, because my baby isn't hard to get to go to sleep at all. She usually falls asleep around 10 or 11 and sleeps all night. The reason I don't sleep is because I need to make time for my family and still have time to do what I love.
- jtheory 16y agoAh, just let her sleep in the bed with you. Babies aren't really designed to be "put to bed" separate from their parents, evolutionarily, so it's guaranteed to be tough going for most of them. Leaving them to cry it out is not a great idea, because it undermines their sense of security and may make them more clingy later.
- jules 16y agoIsn't that dangerous? I heard that you should never ever do this while sleeping because of danger of suffocation.
