Few things cause more stress for parents than a baby who just won’t sleep. Parents find themselves utterly drained after numerous sleepless nights, where their baby wakes up multiple times a night. At this point, many look for solutions that could put an end to the insomniac nightmare, and that’s what happened to one couple who's making the rounds on social media for a letter they wrote to their neighbors. The letter was written by the “tired and sorry” Ward family, who warned everyone they would be trying the somewhat controversial “cry-it-out” method, which involves letting the baby shed some tears and be fussy for a set period of time. Here’s a copy of the letter the Wards sent.
