They won't starve to death and sleep is good for my sanity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-a-baby-that-was-a-terrible-eater-or-a-terrible-sleeper#post-21902 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 14:52:20 +0000 holdonforonemoreday 21902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good sleeper for sure. Right now, baby is not liking his food and it is definitely frustrating. But lack of sleep due to teething is much much worse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-a-baby-that-was-a-terrible-eater-or-a-terrible-sleeper#post-21886 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 14:27:31 +0000 BabyBear 21886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would rather have a good sleeper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-a-baby-that-was-a-terrible-eater-or-a-terrible-sleeper#post-21824 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 09:55:03 +0000 heffalump 21824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know, I have a friend who's kid wasn't eating enough and had to go to eating therapy. She was having failure to thrive because she wasn't getting enough nutrition. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-a-baby-that-was-a-terrible-eater-or-a-terrible-sleeper#post-21625 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 07:39:30 +0000 Andrea 21625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bad eater no doubt, even though it can be incredibly frustrating at meal times. However, you can always recharge if they sleep all night and then find the energy to deal with the eating again in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-a-baby-that-was-a-terrible-eater-or-a-terrible-sleeper#post-21593 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 00:32:04 +0000 looch 21593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dunno, now that I've got the timing down, I like having a good eater even if he is a bit tough in the sleeping department! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-a-baby-that-was-a-terrible-eater-or-a-terrible-sleeper#post-21581 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 00:12:13 +0000 runsyellowlites 21581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Easy..... bad eater for sure!</p> <p>Just like you said. Atleast if you can get sleep you can deal with the trouble a eating time and he's not going to starve.</p> <p>If you're exhausted then you can't deal with the normal fits/tiredness of kiddos. Now THAT'S frustrating. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-a-baby-that-was-a-terrible-eater-or-a-terrible-sleeper#post-21579 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 00:09:18 +0000 tequiero21 21579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>definitely rather have a good sleeper. we all need our rest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-a-baby-that-was-a-terrible-eater-or-a-terrible-sleeper#post-21522 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 21:56:07 +0000 cyndistar3 21522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am pretty sure I would rather a terrible eater...

I need my sleep too :) And if they weren't a good eater, they would be better off having a mom that got plenty of sleep the night before! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-a-baby-that-was-a-terrible-eater-or-a-terrible-sleeper#post-21512 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 21:32:32 +0000 cupcakemama 21512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Really tough choice! I am lucky with my LO - good eater and sleeper. He came out that way and has remained so, despite my efforts/ineptitude (sp?!).</p> <p>I would agree with mrs bee for the reasons mentioned. I must say though that even though LO eats well it is SO MESSY! Omg, no one told me about that! Tell me it gets better - LO is 7 mo now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-a-baby-that-was-a-terrible-eater-or-a-terrible-sleeper#post-21511 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 21:31:04 +0000 Rubies 21511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a bad sleeper but I'd rather have a bad eater. You're right in that they won't starve to death. The sleeping thing is driving me nuts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-a-baby-that-was-a-terrible-eater-or-a-terrible-sleeper#post-21503 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 21:20:33 +0000 Mrsbells 21503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow tough choice. I think I would also prefer a bad eater over a bad sleeper, for the same reasons you mentioned </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-have-a-baby-that-was-a-terrible-eater-or-a-terrible-sleeper#post-21497 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 21:17:04 +0000 Mrs. Bee 21497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Charlie is a terrible eater, and almost every meal is the bane of my existence. But he is an excellent sleeper and lately he's been sleeping 13+ hours at night plus taking a 2 hour+ nap.</p> <p>Maybe it's selfish, but I'd rather have a good sleeper. Charlie is not going to allow himself to starve, and if he were a bad sleeper, I would be a tired mom which would make me a much worse, much more impatient mom.</p> <p>Do you have a bad sleeper or a bad eater? Which do you think is harder? </p>
