We had moments of weakness with our first child, but were pretty strict overall - especially on the sleep front!

When we had our second kid though, we definitely treated her more with kid gloves... probably because she came 5 weeks early and was so small. And then later because we realized that she's our last child and that any rough times on the sleep front will hopefully be temporary.

These days though, she wakes up every night around 3 am and calls for us... so we may have to toughen up a bit. Or alternatively, just accept that we will have to cosleep until she's older!

Are you less strict with your younger children?
