Please see Part I of the series here. Now that I’ve set the expectation that I may have some techniques that lead to good sleep in infants and young children, I thought I’d start with some of our errors with Little Jacks that have made her sleep such a challenge for us.  Make no mistake, [...]

A few weeks ago, we noticed that the boys, particularly Big Brother, were really only snacking during their 11:00-ish feeding.  At most Big Brother would eat an ounce and a half, but often he would eat an ounce and just not be remotely interested in eating anymore.  The rest of the feedings during the night, [...]

I’ve been waiting to write this post on our sleep journey with a baby. I kept thinking we’d reach a point where the Trikester’s sleep stopped evolving, but as time passes, I’m learning that baby sleep is a fluid monster – every time I think we’ve got it under control, something changes and we’re fighting [...]

First, let’s pause to knock on wood. *knock knock* I have a rock star sleeper.
