been away for a bit, but i’m back and still figuring things out. imo my aunt keeps giving me parenting tips i didn’t ask for, like how to get layla to sleep through the night. does anyone else deal with this and how do you handle it?
does she ever ask what you’re actually dealing with?
it’s tricky to work through, those kinds of unasked-for tips often miss the core issue. so much of the standard advice about ‘sleeping through the night’ overlooks the actual maturation curve for infant sleep cycles and the wide variability in what a ‘full night’ even means physiologically, it’s less about parenting technique and more about a developmental stage.
