I also missed Wins and Woes, let’s keep it a regular!

My win: My 3-year-old seems to have gotten over the little bit of jealousy she had at first of her little brother (7 months), and is now interacting more and more and is really sweet with him overall… as an only child I was bracing myself to deal with sibling rivalry but for now I am just loving watching their relationship develop, it warms my heart so much <3

My woe: sleep, or lack thereof, which seems to be the most popular woe on the thread. Our 7-month-old is waking up 1-2 times per night to eat, and it’s often quite tricky to settle him back to sleep afterwards. We end up bringing him into the bed with us as a stopgap measure, but it’s really not what we want to do long-term. I’m not opposed to sleep training, but it doesn’t seem to really help in this case because he seems genuinely super hungry… I keep comparing him to my daughter, who slept through the night by 5-6 months. I know all kids are different and this is also normal, but it’s frustrating and exhausting and I just want to get some more sleep…
