Middle-of-the-night feedings are one of those things that usually don't last long, in the grand scheme of parenting, but feel like they last forever. Most of us develop the skill of feeding a baby more or less in our sleep...and we learn exactly how little sleep we need to function when we have babies that are up three times a night for 15 months. Not that I had one of those or anything.

If you're lucky enough to have a supportive partner, you quickly learn that any love note he may have written to you pales in comparison to the words "you sleep, I'll take care of the baby." That's what makes this hot dad in the video below hot...he doesn't even check his wife for fake-sleeping (come on, we've all done it) or attempt to nudge her awake before getting out of bed and scooping up the baby from his cradle, heating up a bottle, and feeding the adorable little punkin', cuddling all the while. Watch below and see if you're not a little googly-eyed after.

Long before my baby had even been born, the crib was already set up in what would become her bedroom. It's silly, really. I planned to have her sleep in a bassinet in my room so I could breastfeed. But babies need cribs. That's just how it's done. Right? Well. Maybe. Here in America. But have you heard how they do it in Finland? Most Finnish moms let their babies sleep in cardboard boxes.

America? This is yet another sign we're taking this whole parenting thing to extremes.

I'm not a fan of letting babies cry it out. I've always responded to my kids' cries in the night and never did any increments of timed crying when putting them to bed. But if sleep training has worked for you, I don't think you are an evil dragon breathing fire into babies faces in the night. Let's just sort of agree to disagree. I'm still going to tell you about this new study though. It may come as a bit of a jolt to CIO parents, but the latest study is saying that whether or not a kid sleeps through the night is a genetic thing. Which makes any kind of training seem torturous.

Sleep training debunked by latest study saying sleeping through the night is a genetic thing. Babies are predispositioned to either be good sleepers allowing mommy and daddy plenty of zzzs or they are born to make you into a zombie.

With a name like Rad, you'd have to know this baby would get a bedroom to match. Put together by crafty mom Alison from The Alison Show, I think you'll love this baby boy nursery's mix of a few treasures, budget finds, and some good old-fashioned DIY. Click through for the tour below!

If your baby still isn't sleeping through the night at a year, I have good news and bad news. The good news -- it might not be something you're doing wrong, so quit feeling bad about yourself! The bad news, poor nighttime sleep might be genetic, which means there's not much you can do about it. A new study has concluded that baby's nighttime sleep -- up to 18 months of age -- very well may just be because they were born a bad nighttime sleeper. However, the study also found that babies' naps are more influenced by environmental factors as opposed to genetics. Yay?

So, for you parents out there who are still waking up in the middle of the night (long past the point you thought you would be!), take some solace in the fact that, at 18 months, you may have more control. And try these 6 tips for creating a wonderfully peaceful nap environment for your baby. May as well get some rest during the day if you can't get it at night!

The decision over where your newborn is going to sleep after you bring him home from the hospital can be a difficult one to make for moms, even ones who live in a palace. She and Prince William are getting their nursery all ready for their royal heir's arrival, but supposedly Kate Middleton's baby will sleep in her room for at least the first few weeks or so after birth.

No, no -- it doesn't sound like she's planning on co-sleeping. It's more likely that her little one will be sleeping in a (very fancy) bassinet right near mum and dad until he's ready to move to his own room.

When it came time to register for my baby shower, I couldn't believe the massive amount of STUFF that was out on the market for babies. Diamond-encrusted pacifiers? Silk sheets? For babies?

The baby commerce trap is wide and just waiting to swallow you whole, all in the name of making sure your baby has the BEST childhood ever.

Sadly, I'm not just talking about the internal debate over whether your baby really needs a warm glow cast on her wipes before they touch her delicate behind (she doesn't). At least your standard wipes warmer won't cost you your firstborn. A hand-crafted Italian leather diaper bag, on the other hand, will set you back more than $1,000 for something your kid will ultimately puke on.

Think that's nuts? That's nothing compared to a $17,000 pacifier! And I'm just getting started.

Today in news that will scare new moms everywhere, two moms who ran a California daycare have been arrested. Their crime? The sisters were allegedly swaddling the babies wrong!

It was so bad that California authorities have charged Nazila Sharaf and Lida Sharaf, both moms who happen to be pregnant with their second children, with child abuse. Coming on the heels of a swaddling ban at daycares across the country, the news is enough to make moms wonder if they should give up on swaddling entirely. Is it too dangerous? Could the popular parenting technique land you in jail?
