I agree, there is so much pressure and stress involved in parenting. The worst part it isn’t necessarily what’s going on in your home, but the judgement of those outside of your home. I am a big believer in a mom knows her baby best and you do what’s best for baby/family.

When our older children were born, belly sleeping was the rule to prevent choking when/if the baby spit up. Then when we had Morjahn, the rules were totally different, not just for the sleeping position, but everything! I resisted him sleeping on his stomach for as long as I could, and like your baby, he just wasn’t getting decent sleep, until he was several months old and my mom was watching him while I went to the store. She put him down to nap on his belly. He slept the whole time I was gone. It was then that I decided to go with what had worked with our older children. They had survived. It seems years ago, parenting was so much less stressful, babies were HAPPIER and so were parents!
