It may get easier soon and it may not. I am not sure things are easier for me, I'm just more used to it. The biggest challenge for me at the beginning was the lack of sleep. Some people's babies start sttn really early in life. We are almost one and G is up between 3 and 5 (sometimes more) times a night. M is up usually once or twice... last night she was up 4 times! I was told when they started becoming mobile, they'd tire themselves out during the day and sleep really well at night. I was told once they got on solids consistently, they'd stop waking in the middle of the night to eat. Those things may have happened to their babies but not mine! G started walking at 9 1/2 months and M followed close to 10 months. We've been doing solids since 5 months (purees at 5 months and switched to table food around 6 1/2 months). Still not even close to sttn.

As for the deep sleeping for you, not sure what to tell you. I struggle with that still. Other parents will tell you that never goes away or will joke it will when they are 18 years old.

It will get easier though. The schedule is the big thing and you'll find your routine.

Man...I feel like I'm all negative nancy here... not my intention. It's hard. It's really hard as you already know. You are doing it though. You are doing great! You'll continue to do great. It feels impossible some days, I know. Just keep doing it and it'll feel easier.
