Does it ever feel like getting your baby to fall asleep and stay asleep is the bane of your existence? Well trust me, you aren’t alone! Helping your baby sleep is a huge challenge and it’s rarely something that will just get better as they get older.
At some point you need to come up with a plan to:
[list type=”checklist”]
- Break out of craptacular naps
- Close the all night restaurant
- Gently wean off your beloved (insert: swaddle, pacifier, swing)
- Navigate developmental milestones (read: major sleep setbacks) including teething, sleep regressions, and separation anxiety
- Give your beloved newborn all the tools they need to feel loved and sleep
- Avoid landing in cryitoutsville…
- OR figure out if you’re already GOING to cryitoutsville (don’t worry, it’s not as bad as you think!)

Believe it or not the what and whys of baby sleep are really age dependent for the first 12 months. So I’ve organized some the “best of” posts (as determined by registered vote and administered by Pricewaterhouse Coopers, or maybe I just picked them, your guess is as good as mine) into the Ultimate Baby Sleep Guides by age:
