I''m thinking in terms of parenting, but it could be in terms of other stuff too.
I''ve been driving myself nuts the past few weeks because my ds is having nap problems. He goes down pretty easily (at least early in the day), but wakes up at 30 minutes on. the. dot. every. time. I think it''s because that''s when he switches sleep cycles and when he stirs he doesn''t know how to self soothe yet (he''s only 2.5 months) and when I try to soothe him he''s usually so happy to see me that he wakes right up. Experts say that naps under 1 hour basically don''t even count, and I''ve done everything I''ve read about to try to fix the nap problem, but now I''m just accepting that for now I have a 30 minute napper and hoping he''ll grow out of it.
Did you ever have to disregard what the "experts" say and just go with it?
