Hi, tired mom of sleepless baby -
I was an exhausted mom of a round-the-clock nurser, my
eyeballs did not work in sync during those months, went to a La Leche
meeting when my son was 13 mos. to see if they had any advice, and
they clucked sympathetically but had no ideas. My pediatrician said
"the really, really bright ones seem never to sleep; they're so busy
looking around," which was also deeply unsatisfying. This is also
unsatisfying, I know, but I lived through it, we nursed for 5 years,
and the kid is indeed a rocket scientist. I doubt this is helpful,
but at least you know you're not alone.
Best,
Martha Livingston
