oh lord my dd is a horrible sleeper. I've learned to lie to her pediatrician because he was very stern with us when i admitted to co-sleeping. Bad move!

but she isn't typical. it was one of the first signs for us that she was atypical. We tried CIO at the insistence of her ped, and it did not work even a little. she just stayed up all night.

the best thing for our family is to all sleep together. though we recently got a kitten that i am trying to train to sleep with dd, as i am hoping that the companionship will lead to her feeling safer
