I can totally relate to those of who who's babies did not sleep. My son would wake up anywhere from 3-5 times a night until he was somewhere around 10 months old. It was AWFUL! I am one of those people who needs 8-9 hours to function, I used to love sleeping in whenever I could and I'll be the first to admit I probably slept too much. I had alot of friends with babies around my sons age and it seemed like all of their kids slept through the night from about 2 months on... I wanted to punch them haha just kidding but it was rough to say the least!
What I blame from my sons lack of sleep:
I never put my son on a real strict schedule he eventually fell into one around 5 months or so but next time I will try to make a schedule so that baby knows when its time to sleep and when its time to play.
What saved me:
The best support system ever, my parents and my in-laws! They would come and stay with us or we could go and stay with them and they would watch the baby the whole night! I don't think they will ever understand what a help that was. It rejuvenated me and helped me keep on keepin on.
One thing I did well:
I taught my son to fall asleep on his own, even now at 14 months I can lay him down in his crib and he will fall asleep on his own! WHAT A BLESSING!
Good luck with your babies and try and get some sleep whenever you can!
