Thanks for your comment MeiMei! I couldn’t do the sleep training thing either (obviously). Sometimes I feel like a pushover, but then again, I so treasure early morning cuddles with my sweaty/sweet little girl. There’s nothing better than the pitter-patter of little feet into your room, and straight into your arms and heart early early in the morning. And then waking up to an extra little one in the bed between DH and I, both of us amazed that we made such a beautiful little person… or in bed tickle fights in the morning! These days will be gone before we know it, might as well just enjoy!

Thanks for sharing your story. My daughter is almost two, your bedtime routine sounds exactly like ours. I haven’t had to take out the chocolate sauce yet but I was very tempted to. I read another mother’s board and there are a lot of mothers make “sleep training” a priority. Basically they just let their kids cry for hours when they were only seven months old. There are lots of books to encourage (“support”) parents for “sleep training”. I really don’t understand that concept, I don’t care what kind of fancy names they use it but leaving a seven months old to cry in bed for 45 mins so he will learn how to fall asleep by himself is not very nice. Both my husband and I work full time so a good night sleep is an advantage so we can function at work, but letting my child to cry for hours makes me feel like I’m ignoring her and that’s the last thing a parent should do. My daughter sleeps through the night sometimes. What is wrong when they want some cuddle in the middle of the night? You get to have a husband or wife or partner to sleep with why do they have to sleep alone?
