> she went on a tangent that parents also need their own sleep I know this seems like a tangent, but it's not. We all want to do the best we possibly can for our children, and yes, being a parent comes with a willingness to sacrifice yourself for them. The problem is that those kids depend on you for more than just their need in the moment. You can sacrifice your night's sleep for theirs, but you still need to be able to take care of them the next day and the years after that. At the end of the day, only parents can decide where the trade-off is, because only they are close enough to see what the baby needs and only they know how much they themselves can give. There's no shortage of people that will tell you about The Right Way. It doesn't really seem correlated with any kind of medical degree either. Just remember that what worked for them, doesn't necessarily work for you. Take their ideas as ideas to think about, but not as rules to live by. You are different and your babies are different.
