    Starting out parenting with perhaps the spiciest parent topic. Bold! For what it’s worth our kid slept at night fairly easy but we did have to sleep train for naps. She would just scream and scream even if you were holding rocking shushing whatever. We finally gave up at 3 years old, she would just destroy things in her room when we attempted quiet time.

      Well I did, because as a new parent it really messed me up when your newborn is screaming 24/7 and everyone online says you’re a horrible person for doing what doctors recommend to do in cases like mine. She hasn’t had a day nap since 20 months too. Same story - scream for 2 hours before the nap, destroy things after.

        You gotta do what you gotta do. It’s hard even when you’re not trying to get them to sleep too because they are horrible little people when they’re exhausted. I think the anti-sleep training crew leave that part out a lot.
