Answer:

The lack of sleep, at first my son would only sleep on me or with me in bed, and only for 1 hour at a time. After 6 long months of fighting sleep he is finally sleeping on his own in his bed for longer stretches of time!

Letting go of anxiety and the desire to control everything. It's hard not to want to do everything perfectly, and prevent/ease every hurt right away.
