16 weeks of sleep left.
Tick tick tick.
Yep.
My little chap woke up at 3am the other night and decided hed had enough sleep so Mum and Dad must have as well.
Trots into our bedroom, sits on his Mums head then pries my eyes open and shines a torch in my face.
This admittedly only happens sometimes- normally he just drags the doona off me and wacks me with whatever toy he has handy till I get up.

Depends on the kid. My one year old sleeps through the night (11 or so hours straight) probably 5/7 nights, but I have a friend whose 15 month old has never slept through, not even once.
I didn’t sleep a solid night’s sleep from 2007 to 2016

R.e. sleep, what my mother did when my sister and I were babies was, when we were both sleeping, she would do some vacuuming to introduce us to and to get us used to the idea of sleeping through loud noises.

I wanted too but the missus put her foot down.
"I dont want him having a name that will get him teased" she said.
So we settled on 'Little Willy' instead.

Oh, that sounds like something i have done in the past to my old man.
Not so much the sitting on mums head part though. We think alike
Wait edit: when i was younger mind you im in my mid 20's nowadays

As hard as dealing with toddler meltdowns and lack of sleep is, the worst thing by far is when your kid tells you they love and miss you, and don't want you to go to work. Try having a good day after that s**t.
kids, lol

I have seen a mum pushing a pram with her baby in it sleeping. She had a radio playing 'white noíse' pretty loud. One of the weirdest things ive seen (by white noise - I mean the noise a radio makes when not tuned to radio station)
I get people struggle to get kids to sleep or eat certain foods, but these type of solutions wont help in the long run. Its like friends of mine who had kids who wouldn't eat most foods so in the end they gave them foods they wanted (hot chips or no veggies etc) - surprise, surprise - now they are 6 and 7 yrs old and are still fussy eaters - barely eat anything. Just doesn't pay off in the long run
White noise worked really well when my baby was a newborn actually, and we weaned him off it with no trouble at all when he was about 5 months old.

Babies love white noise. Reminds them of the background noise of the womb. Eventually they grow out of it, prefer to sleep in silence.
Run. Run fast. Run long.

Wonka jnr- "ICE CREAM!"
Me- (understanding) "So you want Dad to stay home just cause you know Mum wont give you icecream?"
Wonka jnr- "Yeah"
