But, I shouldn’t have to keep saying this. I’d rather deal with this than with infertility. I have never once gotten angry with him for waking me up (I direct the anger at my husband, though, which is also bad). I love him more than anything in this world. And now, cried Max, let the wild rumpus start And Max, the king of all wild things, was lonely and wanted to be where someone loved him best of all. I’m also tired of issuing the standard disclaimer.I have gotten no breaks and it feels, at night, like I am still caring for a newborn. My baby has never learned to sleep without me. Then you find out, maybe they don’t sleep well THAT WEEK, or maybe they “only” sleep three hours at a time, or maybe they’ve slept 8 hours a night since they were 6 weeks old and are now having a sleep regression. With massive changes happening in every marketplace, the stakes have never been higher for you to stare straight into the eyes of the wild things and, like Max, become the wildest thing of all. I’m really effing tired of everyone telling me their baby doesn’t sleep well either. It’s time to seize this wild moment to transform ambiguity and confusion into opportunity.Maybe there are moms out there who could live this way without letting their child CIO.I’m getting sick (which very rarely happens, usually). I feel sick to my stomach most of the time from sleep deprivation.

I make stupid mistakes while I’m driving. In the past month, a two-hour stretch of sleep has become something to celebrate.

We know this is true because he used to sleep 7-11 like clockwork and for a good 5 weeks it’s been 7-9:30 or 7-10. Thus, “waiting it out” is not an option because he’s going to start sleeping less and less, not more and more.Every night that he gets a bad night’s sleep (so, every night of his life so far), he is more tired the next day and a bit more sleep-deprived than before.He obviously can’t get back to sleep without us.
