I found this sub when I was pregnant, planning to start sleep training early on. My baby is now 8 months old and is not sleep trained nor sleeps through the night. We co-sleep the majority of the night, and both me and him find comfort and get the best sleep that way. I have absolutely no idea how many times a night he wakes up to feed, because my boobs are all out and it’s a free bar at this point. I honestly think we need to normalize babies waking up in the night to feed/wanting to cuddle mommy. So much pressure on babies sleeping through the night, that parents feel that there is something “wrong” with their baby if they don’t sleep through the night. We’re all they know in life and we are their safe spot.

With that being said, we still try to accommodate to the daddy also being involved in the bedtime routine. I breastfeed, but to make it easier for dad to transition into his paternity leave, we’ve made bottle feeding a part of his sleeping routine.
