We don't know what to do and we're at our wit's end. She can't sleep, we can't sleep, and we're all miserable.
Sleep problems are among the most common complaints that parents have about their young ones.
Needless to say, they can cause a lot of stress in the family. Kids end up tired and parents become exhausted from being up all night with the baby. Typically, children with sleeping problems do not fall asleep easily and also wake up in the middle of the night. Whether a sleep pattern or habit is abnormal depends on the age of the child. Most new-borns sleep an average of 16 hours a day.
