SLEEP

There's much written about helping children to develop good sleeping patterns. We got our son when he was 5 weeks old and he had clearly been neglected and abused. The first couple of days with him, he slept a lot. But once he realized we would meet his needs if he cried, after that then getting him to sleep was really hard. In fact, sleep came hard for him for years! He was a pre-teen before he would sleep in a room alone. If I could do it over again, I actually don't know what I would do different to help him with sleep. But I'm curious to know of your experiences - who knows if we may end up with a child in the future with similar sleep problems ... What have you done to help your child sleep?
