Sleeping like a baby?

Parents around the Web blog about how much sleep they're (not) getting.

By Meagan Francis

Clara is one month old, and I'm starting to recognize the signs of mild sleep deprivation: forgetting words mid-sentence, yawning, and a general "foggy" feeling that makes it hard to concentrate. But Clara's a pretty good sleeper in general, and I know I've got it easy compared to some moms whose babies refuse to sleep longer than an hour or two at a stretch.



Sleep is an important (and sometimes touchy) subject among new moms: how to get enough? How to make sure baby's getting enough? And what about sleep training? Here are some posts from around the blogosphere about who's sleeping...and who's not.

• At Let's Be Honest Here, Emily posts about her 12-week-old baby's sleep habits and how it's affecting her own.
• Arifel at Yet Another Baby Blog confesses: she sleeps with her baby.
  
• A mom weighs in on what she learned about sleep from her first year of parenthood.
• At the Momformation blog, Andrea Frazer posts about how dangerous sleep deprivation can be. 
• This poker-playing dad dishes about how bringing home baby means hanging up your eight hours a night--and that includes men, too.
