I should have given him a chance

Babies sleeping through never ever lasts. For the first year my daughter did not sleep through, she had weight issues so we would feed her on demand and that was 4-5 times a night when she was a newborn and around 8-9 months down to 2 feedings which, to a lot of people is absurd, and stupid, yada yada but we did it. We didn't sleep train because she was 5th percentile for weight and height, barely would digest solids etc etc. At 1 year old approx she's suddenly sleeping 12 hours straight through and we're like, wow OK, we didn't even have to "train" her. I guess she was just hungry.

She's 17 months old now and she has SIX EFFING TEETH coming through. Like they're legit visible right now - and I can see about 3 other spots where it looks where others are going to come out. She only had her 2 top and 2 bottom ones at this point so I guess she was a late bloomer. Anyhow. It's been 2 weeks of hell. She wouldn't eat during the day and was up ALL NIGHT LONG fussing and crying for milk the first week, and this week she is down to 2 wake ups which only go well if I give her a bottle of milk. I've been told to buckle down and suck it up because this is the teeth game...

And... There's the times they get sick... ear infection, cold, stomach flu, which just means that sleep turns to shit during and usually for a few weeks after.

So I guess I'll sleep when she moves out... right?
