As with every piece of parenting advice, you will have to find what works best for you
. Above all else remember this: your baby will not be this age forever. The sleep patterns will work themselves out eventually. As with thumb sucking, bottle feeding, and temper tantrums, this too shall pass. After all, there are very few brides who walk down the aisle with a bottle or sucking their thumbs or who do not sleep through the night! Take note of what is good for your baby and follow through with what her body needs. This will be the guiding force that will facilitate you both falling into a pattern and, hopefully, a good night's sleep!
