Crib? Bed? Crib? Bed?
I've firmly decided that Luka is no longer to sleep in our bed. Co-sleeping is great and it made nights much easier for a long time... but I've had enough! Now that he is sitting up and crawling I wake up to him leaning over me and pulling my hair all night long. I think me being there next to him encourages him to wake and eat... on average when he sleeps in bed with me he wakes up 3-4 times a night. So last night I nursed him to sleep and set him in his crib around 9pm and he slept pretty good until 2am (whereas he'd normally wake around midnight first). I tried the cry-it-out for 7 minutes to see if he'd fall back asleep on his own, but nope. So I fed him, let him fall back asleep and then put him back in his crib. His next wake up was at 5am, but I was so tired that I went ahead and considered it the next day and brought him to our bed. I think this can work, and hopefully as he gets older he'll actually sleep through the night.
