It feels a bit audacious to entitle this post with that line. What mom wouldn’t give all for her kids, if she could? It’s not what the dreamy romantic younger version of myself thought of first when I dreamed of having a family one day, to be honest.

How I trained baby #2 to sleep
At first I was going to title this, “How I trained baby #2 to sleep through the night”. But, I decided to drop the second part because she only *just* started sleeping through and so this post is mostly about promoting baby sleep. That’s what the past almost year has been like!

A Guide to Baby Sleep
