🤔Comparing children🤔
We have ALL been there. Why is my child not doing what that child is doing? Why is my child not sleeping through yet, whilst theirs has slept through since birth? What are they doing that I’m not doing? What am I doing wrong?
Bottom line. You are doing nothing wrong!
This feeling of comparing is so normal, there’s even a Bluey episode about it 😅
I have 4 boys. They are similar in some ways and totally different in other ways. One sucked his thumb to sleep and would wake up singing. One used a comforter to sleep and would always wake up crying regardless of the length of nap. One needed us to stay with him to fall asleep, the other didn’t want us anywhere near him 😅
Also remember that you don’t always see the bigger picture when listening to other people’s sleep successes. Someone may say their baby slept through the night for 12 hours but forget to say that they still had 3 feeds – ‘sleeping through the night’ can be so subjective! I will discuss more about this another time ⭐️
My biggest piece of advice. Stop comparing to others. Accept that every child, family, situation is different. If you want to make a change to your little one’s sleep, there are definitely things you can do and try, but you may never achieve what Sandra from Baby Sensory has achieved with her baby, and that’s ok!
If it’s working for you, keep going!
If it’s not, help is out there ❤️
