    Sleep!!!! Though at almost 2, DS1 has been getting whiny and throwing fits.

    For DS2, nothing. He eats, sleeps, and behaves like I expect a 3 month old would. He's a good baby

    @Kemma: yup DS too. Normally when he gets up we bring him to bed with us and he nurses and occasionally he'll go back to sleep other times like yesterday he nursed and then gave his dad a slobbery kiss at 5:45 right in the eye.

    @Pirouette: this sounds about right. Her sleep isn't great at all, but I am certain that it is because she is in pain from eating foods she is intolerant to. Hope both get better for you soon!

    Feeding! First we had breastfeeding issues and practically lived at the LC's office. Then, he needed OT for solids. Now, we are dealing with general, but oh-so-frustrating, toddler pickiness.

    @LovelyPlum: you too!! her eating is finally getting better so i'm hoping sleep will follow too 1 step at a time!

    judging from my 423 posts about feeding... I'll have to say that

    Sleep was definitely our biggest issues so far. I am still very hesitant to change anything sleep related in fear it will backfire and we will be back to waking up ever single hour!

    However, now that sleep is (knock on wood) seeming to normalize, pickiness is starting to take over our household. My dog has never eaten so well and my kid has learned how to throw via the food on his tray.

    ALL OF THEM, at different times.
    Newborn stage: sleep. It was just so horrible.
    in-between (15-22m) : discipline
    now: discipline and eating. He doesn't eat, but yet asks for food, throws it or smashes it into something. So, I can decide if that's a behavioral issue or a food issue. I say both.

    For #1 all three at some point in his life. Definitely sleep for #2' he's 17 weeks old and STTN from 5-13 weeks, then I went back to work and he decided sleep is overrated!

    feeding. at times discipline made me want to pull my hair out, but since you have to feed them so many times a day every day, that definitely is the biggest challenge.

    I did have some oversupply issues and some light green poop for a while, but that was resolved relatively quickly. Sleep is by far our greatest challenge!

    @lawbee11: yeah for M STTN! Wahoo!

    I think feeding has been the toughest. BF was really hard in the beginning. She was slow to start solids because she got sick around the 6 month mark. She's a good eater now though at one year.

    Feeding. Her sleep and behavior are much less of an issue across her whole life thus far

    Feeding, for sure. Mealtime is so stressful.
