The best advice I can give new parents regarding sleep is 1: get a baby bay. I cannot over emphasise how good this is. You can sleep next to baby without worrying that you are going to crush it so you get much better sleep. And once it’s feeding time, boobs out feed, sleep, easy. I’m on my third kid and the baby bay was the game changer. 2. Don’t feel bad about the whole “sleeping though the night” thing. The study that said kids do this had a VERY narrow definition of sleeping through the night (midnight to 4am) and most of the kids then didn’t continue to “sleep through the night”. 3. Once it is appropriate to stop feeding at night (I forget is it 1 year?? 9 months???) then do that but still give baby water. They will start to sleep through completely once they don’t need to feed. 4. Don’t believe any of that Victorian BS about baby needing to “self sooth”. Kids thrive when they feel loved and protected. Let them sleep in your bed for as long as they want like they do in east Asia. Being safe and secure at night helps them feel confident in the daytime
