Who doesn’t worry about sleep hours?

[u/frogsruletheworld]

I was talking to my mom about baby’s sleep, and after a while she said, why do you worry so much? I didn’t worry about wake windows or how much you guys slept when you were babies. When you were tired you slept, when you weren’t you didn’t.

Now, it’s very possible that my mom just doesn’t remember what it was like to have a 0 year old, but it made me wonder…

Are there parents out there who just don’t worry about it even if their kid sleeps less than 12 hours total in 24 hours?

Not looking for criticism, just to hear everyone’s experiences.

EDIT: Thanks for all the comments! It’s so nice to see there is a good mix of those who track and don’t track baby’s sleep. Also feels great to read success stories and see support for each other in the challenges 💚

Grandparents do not remember a fucking thing. With that said, they did not target their kids getting a certain amount of sleep and it really was a put them down when they get tired thing. But my kids will lie to you and nap all day and want to be up all night.

So no I don't stress if my kids sleep less than 12hrs a day since that's normal. I actually get super pissed when my parents watch my son and let him take a 4hr nap in the afternoon because "he needed it". Well, I need him to sleep at night !!!
