Our baby's 9 months old now, so he's doing lots of exciting things, like eating solids (!), opening his own Christmas presents, and refusing to sleep*. We're also doing exciting things, like watching a lot of TV** and learning that our experience is not actually universal. We know, this was a shocking realization for us too.

Suggested resources:

• Our favorite book about baby sleep, Precious Little Sleep
• Our favorite sleep coach, recommended by many of our friends: A Little Support (UK based, but works with clients all over the world)
• And if you're a mom who wants to feel really angry at your husband and every other husband in the world, check out r/Mommit, Maya's favorite subreddit

*We found out after recording this episode that our son had an ear infection. Once we got him on antibiotics he went back to sleeping like an angel. Your mileage may vary, but if your kid is suddenly having trouble sleeping, maybe get their ears checked out before you sink into a deep depression and accept that none of you will ever sleep again.
