So many perfect people out there. How comforting to know that there are so many perfect parents out there who will of course raise perfect children. As you are obvioulsy such experts write a book, do a tv show and tell all us less then perfect parents with less then perfect children what we are doing wrong and how to do life your perfect way.

Gees! Parenting is hard enough without these judge people around. You do what you can to survive. She’s probably a better mother now that she is getting sleep

So many judgemental internet warriors who think they know best. She said her baby is happier! Is that not enough reason to continue doing what she’s doing? Crikey, it’s not like she said “now I get heaps of sleep so I can deal with a grumpy baby” or anything. She seems to understand more than the judgemental people, it is her baby and family after all.

Why should she be judge for something like that its up to her at the end of the day

Are you kidding me?! She’s being judged for getting help with her baby to get it to sleep?! Mums know how draining lack of sleep becomes, how can they sit in judgement on someone who seeks help for it??

Sleep training may not mean what you think. We had to sleep train my 9 month old after she hadn’t slept more than 20 mins at a time for 9 months! We went to a facility, I was with her constantly and we didn’t cry it out – I’m not into that. We trained her to be comfortable in the cot without being on me. Then we trained her to be comfortable with my not patting her to sleep. She was “trained” in a few days and was a much happier, less stressed baby and I was also a much happier and less stressed mum.

I don’t understand sleep training at all. My son woke every 50 minutes for 8 months and it never crossed my mind to sleep train.

Sleep training can mean a lot of different things. I dont think anyone can comment without knowing the methods.

I survived 1 year of frequent wake ups and inconsolable crying through the night, I don’t like sleep training but I understand everyone has different tolerances.

Sleep is so important for everyone ! We can all do with a little less judgement and more support with a new baby.

You have to do what’s right for you and your family. People need to mind their own business

Omg….so so cute, way to go Hillary. Every parent needs to do what is best for themselves and there baby.

WOW! Cue the outrage. Babies do need to learn to sleep for their own health. Good on Hilary for seeking help. Her entire family will be all the better for it. Clearly those who are outraged have never had a difficult and non-sleeping baby. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone!

Everyone needs to back off kid is clearly fine I don’t know why they think their opinions matter if it’s not going to help keep it to yourself.

Sleep training doesn’t necessarily mean cry it out. If it keeps mum sane and Bub is happy is the mean thing

Awesome decision Hilary!

If it works for the baby and for the Mum to me it’s a win/win situation.

I would love to have had a sleep expert come as one of my children really struggled to sleep. You cant judge what others do because you never know she may have been suffering from lack of sleep herself. At least she sort professional help and it was fixed and everyone happy.

It must have been the right thing to have done – no baby sleeps for 11 hours straight if they don’t need it. Good on Hillary Duff – just ignore all the naysayers, and stay happy

They both look happy , so it probably works .
