Women these days are so damn worried about their wittle walking facebook posts being uncomfortable that they forget how to parent

This whole ‘never letting your baby cry’ bullshite has got to stop

The best way for a baby to become sleepy is for them to cry, so at the end of the day, if they aren’t ready for bed, put them down in it and let them wail away (supervised remotely of course)

After awhile, go comfort them, and let them go to sleep. Works better than melatonin

Also… parents, if your kids are having issues sleeping at night, maybe start troubleshooting what’s going on during the day….

Is your kid active? Do they stay inside on tablets and games all day? If so, at the end of the day, it’s gonna be hell trying to get them to go to sleep because they have all that stored up energy in them.

If your kids are giving you trouble at night, try keeping them busy and outside during the day.. I have two very active boys (3&8) and at the end of the day, they basically put themselves in bed and fall asleep zero issue most of the time





And for those of you who swear by melatonin… are you really trying to build a dependency on medication at such a young age? Giving your children medication every night to make them go to sleep is lazy and irresponsible in my opinion, and if I had to guess, these same parents let their iPads babysit their kids too
