I just didn't know it was possible for a 6 week old to sleep for 12 hours every night. From what everyone on here is constantly saying, their babies never sleep; and breastfed babies usually wake up more often than formula fed babies.

She's also told me this friend of hers left her baby 1 week pp to go on an night out with her husband and I should do it too. I told her I'm not going to leave my baby that soon.

She thinks when you have a baby you just dump it on someone else and go on about your life. I try to avoid talking to her about kids, but I'm 30 weeks pregnant so it comes up a lot. She's also decided she's my baby's god mother, I'm just mor really sure if I want her for that role. I do know for a fact if anything happens to me my baby will be going to my sister not her though.

Now I'm ranting about my best friend, that was not the point of this post.

My second was like that. She was a great sleeper. You CAN sleep train them, but they have to be a certain weight too as per Tracy Hogg (author of The Baby Whisperer Solves All Your Problems).

My son has been sleeping 9 to 9 every night since he was 11 weeks old. He's just a sleepy guy. He would eat when he wanted, but just wanted to sleep. If I woke him up to feed him he would scream until I out him back to bed. He didn't want my boobs or a bottle. He just wanted sleep.

My oldest was sleeping from 9pm-6am by 5 weeks but then she went all crazy and started waking up every hour around 9 weeks

My DD slept 9 hours a night at 6 weeks and by 12 weeks she slept from 7-6 it really isn't far fetched and is completely possible. We have a schedule and have followed it since she was born.

both of my daughters started sleeping trough the night as a two week old babies. so i know that its possible. they still are good sleepers and doesnt wake up at nights. now my son is almost three weeks old and he sleeps from 10 till 5am, im hoping that soon he will to sleep through the night as well

Drugs to the baby eh? Hmm. Love to know what type. May have helped with my first child and all.

My youngest daughter has slept from 2 months old from 7:30pm through to minimum 7am, sometimes later. She is now a healthy toddler who still sleep through the nights. No, not all kids do or will but some do. Without drugs.

My friend was actually telling me about sleep training today. She used it on her kids. It is a thing. There are books for it, too.

My breastfed son would sleep 12 hours occasionally from 9 weeks. I didn't expect it and didn't train him but it worked for him. As for friends with far fetched stories, i don't have the time or patience. I wouldn't call them on it but i wouldn't seek out their company.

My son wasn't bf after 4 weeks but at 7 weeks he most def slept through the night. It was more like 11pm-6am though.

I was told to bf every 2/3 hours so that doesn't work for me

My bf Bub slept the night from that age it's possible

I take it she doesn't have kids herself then. The next time she starts a xonversation like that i would just change the subject or stop listening.

She needs a hobby. Maybe read a book.

A guy once told me that he was attacked by a shark while swimming in the ocean but he punched the shark so hard it swam away.

At the Jersey shore. Where there are 0 shark reports (this was years ago, I know there were a few last summer)

It took a lot to keep a straight face

Yes I know people like that. Biggest pet peeve. Why lie about such little irrelevant s*** ? Doesn't make you very trustworthy...

Actually this is a real thing and was "the thing" to do back in the day.

Eta: not saying it's a good thing, but it is not just your friend

Idt I could be friends with someone like that. ?

Just like PP, I don't have friends like that cause I'd definitely call them out. I used to be friends with this girl who would catfish people, she tried lying about it but I called her out and that friendship was over rather quickly! I don't wanna be associated with it lol

She gives me all sorts of "advice" from people she knows. And apparently her sil and I are crazy for wanting to breastfeed and not leave our babies at 2 weeks to go on a date night. Every time we talk she says something else ridiculous. I've been researching what I want to do for my child since we started ttc, and she acts like my informed decisions are crackpot theories.

I don't, but ask her who this woman is and how she "trained" her baby and then send that advice my way, please. ??
