that I don't care that much about STTN?
Right now my baby wakes once or twice to nurse (usually around 1 and 5) then goes right back to sleep. We're up for the day around 7.
I guess I'm just not that anxious for him to start STTN because I figure he'll eventually start doing it on his own. And in the meantime, waking up once or twice isn't that bad. It's better than when I was pregnant and was up every hour to pee!
And I suppose I'm the kind of person that doesn't need tons and tons of sleep. I mean, 8 straight hours would be nice, don't get me wrong, but if I get 6-7 and they're broken up, I'm still just fine during the day.
Anyone else feeling this way? Sometimes I feel like I complain about not getting enough sleep because I feel like as a new mom with a non STTN baby I'm supposed to, but the truth is it really doesn't bother me that much...
Re: Am I crazy...
I'm not worried about it either. However, everyone else in my life seems to be! My mom asks me every morning how DS slept the night before!
I figure it will happen when it happens!
This. I sleep trained DD1 because she could only fall asleep if she was on the boob, and after the 4 month wakeful she was up every hour or so. It was hell. DD2 still wakes up to eat once or twice each night, but I haven't even considered sleep training because she puts herself to sleep and goes down for naps and bedtime very easily. Plus she takes long naps and overall gets 2 or 3 more hours of sleep total than DD1 did. It's wonderful. I consider her an excellent sleeper despite the fact that she doesn't STTN. I'm in no rush to night wean her, although I bet it would be pretty easy to do given how well she generally sleeps.
