I tell her Santa is going to bring her coal if she doesn't go back to bed rightfuckingnow.

Oh wait, Are we talking about babies or their 4 year old sister's who still wake every 3 hours?

What do you mean? My baby sleeps from 8:30pm to 5am.

:P

I give my toddler bottles for the baby and shut them in her sound proof room for the night. She loves helping with her little brother!

Don't mind me, I'm just here writing up my shopping list... earplugs, whiskey, ambien, straight jackets... yes, excellent.

I think the legit answer is... you don't. If your baby is waking up every 3 hours, you don't get sleep.

I LOVE that no one said "Sleep when the baby sleeps". But seriously I dream feed, stay in bed way later than I used to, and for the first two weeks slept in shifts. But mostly sleep is a long lost friend I haven't seen since October 2013.

DD doesn't sleep. She waits.

I think if you focus on getting sleep, then you get even more upset when it doesn't happen. All you can do is go with the flow.

I fit it in between steaming my organic raw locally grown vegetables, doing my three daily hours of hot yoga, and six hours of uninterrupted mindful meditation. Oh wait...I'm not Gwenyth Paltrow.
