@tnlady1 I'm an identical twin, our mum said we were very very hard. I also remembered we fought so much as kids (but also played together well some of the time and were always fiercely loyal to each other). Never get them different gifts lol, we always had to have the same gifts as if we got...

@3007 I've got a 20 month old nicknamed "turbo" because he doesn't stop moving, I was thinking it was going to get easier soon but reading all these comments makes me realise it probably won't until he's like 4 or 5 😭 at least this subreddit is preparing me for what's to come 😂

The method I did was a variation of Ferber but where you don't extend the amount of time you leave them, you have a set time (we did every two minutes), and then you go in and settle without picking them up. Took only a few nights with each of mine with this method and I felt it was much...

@gidmos44 Yes I don't see why not! Would probably make it not take as long as they can use it to help them soothe themselves. One of my two kiddos had a paci too when I sleep trained her and it seemed to help her a lot to settle / not cry as much. She did need it in when she was falling...

@joryanne You're welcome 🙂 good luck! I hope you and your little one start getting some better sleep soon!

@joryanne There is a couple methods that you can do where your baby isn't left to cry. It takes longer - often about 3 weeks compared to 2-4 days with the methods that do involve crying but they will eventually work so if you want to do them you could. Just be prepared it will take a while and...

@robwebb We transitioned to 1 nap at about 15 months old. Usually do his nap at 12pm as he's usually tired by then. Sometimes we push it out to 1pm. At the start he would only nap for an hour so we did 7pm -7am overnight. Now at 19 months old he has a 2-2.5 hour nap and we put him down...

@treadstone You and your wife just have to do what you feel is right for you. Just make sure you both definitely want another if you go that route as it could build resentment if one partner is only doing it to please the other partner. You both must really want it. I know the stress of...

@jamisonbirdsong Well I reckon go for it then if both you and your husband want another 🙂

@jamisonbirdsong Lol yeah I'm tired too! Do you have much support? My husband, sister and mother in law all help a lot. I don't think I could do it without them.

@bitgidi I had a daughter at 31 who is 6 now. And my son at 37 who is 18 months old now. Chasing after a toddler at 38 years old is certainly harder than when I was 31. And going back to broken sleep after getting a full night's sleep for so long was hard too. But I wouldn't change it for...
