It is mindblowing to me that this is an unpopular opinion...
But the most unhelpful and anger inducing thing is hearing these statements when you are in the trenches with a newborn not sleeping:
"Are you ready to start sleep training?"
"Your sleep is so important so you can be the best parent."
"They are manipulating you"
"It's a habit. They aren't actually hungry."
Instead, praise me for comforting my baby, offer me a nap while you hold my baby, or bring me a cooked meal.
Suggesting negligent parenting practices and suggesting I prioritize my sleep over my BABY'S needs... unhelpful.
I said what I said.
