It's 9:43 PM. Your baby is finally asleep.
You should go to bed. You know you should. But this is the first moment all day you've had to yourself.
So you scroll. You stare at nothing. You fold laundry in the dark.
It's 11:30 when you finally crawl into bed. 11:47 when you hear the cry.
And the rage that hits isn't at your baby. It's at yourself. "Why didn't I just go to sleep?"

You blame yourself—thinking you're doing something wrong or your baby is just "difficult."

No amount of shushing, rocking, or "sleep training" will fix that. Because you can't train a baby to sleep through pain.

Here's why over 57,000 exhausted parents made the switch:
