Would you rather...

helenkayj · August 2013

J was a fussy guy yesterday and only napped for an hour and a half total BUT he STTN!!!! So I'm now trying to decide what I would rather have (not that I really get a choice) a happy baby that wakes up 2-3 times a night or a fussier baby that STTN.

What would you rather have?

A happy baby that wakes up 2 to 3 times a night. That's said, his fussiness could be a one off. Plus I find that even if my LO sleeps a lot through the day she still sleeps the same at night. Sleep begets sleep. We just got our first uninterrupted 8 hour sleep last night. Fingers crossed its the same tonight.

This. as much as I love to sleep... and don't get to do it nearly enough... I like snuggling with LO, even at 2am.

A happy baby for sure. Makes me feel like I'm doing a better job, and I worry about him less.

I'd rather get up several times a night than spend all day trying to soothe a fuss monster!

Mine is STTN but doesn't really nap, however I would rather be rested and have a little more fussy baby cause at least I am not tired than one who only sleeps 4 hour stretches and may or may not nap during the day.
