Dear Family....(the letter I would like to send to them :)

Dear family,

As you all know by now...Aden is a light sleeper and it takes some effort to get him to sleep.

Please note, this is not our fault.  We did not train him to be a light sleeper.    Making noise around him consistently wakes him up and so we have learned to be more quiet.  

He is a good baby and we are doing our best.   He is very alert and it is his nature to be wakeful.  Please stop asking us what the problem is.

Thanks!

Could you CC my family on this letter please? Thanks

Now I'm dealing with them comparing LO to my 3 week old nephew. Of course he sleeps through anything, she did too at that age!

I need to write a dear family I didn't make my baby clingy letter. Sorry your family is so hard on you.

@LaxMOM44 -   oh yes, this is part two of my letter as well!  They think it all stems from co-sleeping which we don't even do all the time.

I was just researching this, and found this to show to my mom.
