In our quest to get more than 1-2 hours of sleep in a row, DP and I have asked many people many questions. The expert advice? Not helpful. My top picks:
1. "Just deal with it, she'll eventually grow out of it." As opposed to what? Tossing her out the window? Putting her in the mailbox with a "return to sender" sticker?
2. "Let her cry." Sorry, not my style. Oh, wait, you say the same thing again after I tell you I'm not comfortable with that approach? Yes, now I will listen. Thanks.
3. "Put her down drowsy but awake." And this well help her stay asleep how? Oh, that's right, it won't. I didn't ask how to get her to sleep, I asked how to get her to STAY asleep.
4. "Read the books." I am trying to find a self-proclaimed "sleep expert" to come live with us for a few months, so far none will agree. They can write the books, I can read the books, yet BBP just isn't on the same page as us. Or anyone, for that matter. Well, perhaps a crack addict?
5. "I'm sure she sleeps more than that." You're right. I'm making it up. She sleeps like a champ. The sleep log I did for 3 days was all a lie. I made it up. Just for fun. BBP sleeps so darn much that I just have to find ways to fill the time. Sorry for asking.

Here's my advice:
1. Slap doctor who makes ridiculous recommendations. Repeat as often as necessary.
2. Regarding the "read the books" advice. Clearly, BBP is the one who needs to read the books. I'm fairly certain that's what the doctors meant.
3. See #1.
