This is obvious untrue… unless parents are not entitled to sleep! Are parents not sleeping at all (aside from when they are woken up by a cry ofc)? Newborns can’t even move from where they are!
- tomp 4y agoI meant "almost all the time except when they're asleep". Fortunately newborns sleep a lot but they also feed every 4 hours (if you're lucky) so whatever sleep you're getting isn't "quality sleep" because of interruptions. > Newborns can’t even move from where they are! You're right, I was implicitly assuming that you wouldn't leave the baby to just cry because that just sounds cruel to me.
- freedom2099 4y agoOn the other hand also running every times it cries it might be wrong (there are studies on this regard)
- tomp 4y agoCan you send me any such studies?

- tomp 4y ago> Researchers from Australia worked with families who said that their babies (ages 6-16 months) had a sleep problem. Quite a big caveat here. I’d never let my 1 week or 1 month baby cry at night (or during the day) and in any case, he started sleeping well without any sleep training.
- freedom2099 4y agoI do agree that 1 week or 1 month old is a completely different matter… But having less time for yourself for 3/4 months doesn’t seem a tragedy to me!
