Our babies were born on the same day!
I agree with all re: sleep consultants. How can they be so prescriptive and assume that their one technique will work for every baby? They all seem like snake oil merchants to me.
I'm in a fortunate position because my boy is a fairly good sleeper. Still up multiple times in the night but has a feed and goes back down. Nap times it's totally hit or miss whether we can put him down, but I'm alright with it. Trying to 'train' him to do anything seems useless at his age, I'm just trying to follow his lead. It feels like Lucy and Lydia thought their lives would quickly get back to normal after their baby, and they'd have a cute new accessory and source of content for Instagram.
