Hi coachV:

Thanks for your input. I had forgotten when I wrote my posting that my stepson also kept his parents awake when an infant. There was a grandmother living with them too, and all the adults took turns trying to get this infant to sleep by walking him, etc. He is now a grown man and very knowledgeable about computers and systems. He became a member of MENSA while in highschool - took the test at my urging.

I am glad to know about the speaker asking parents about non sleepers. This topic has interested me for decades. I have always suspected that the smart babies hate to go to sleep and miss anything.

Thanks again CoachV.
