Update on big boy bed

Well the first night was NOT indicative of how Corben felt about his crib. Clearly from how this week has gone, he was not ready.

Prior to deciding to try him in his room, Corben had been sleeping through the night for over a week. For us that was going to sleep at about 9 after his bath and bottle and not waking up again until about 5:30/6. He would then get another bottle and go right back to sleep til 9.

Well this week he was impossible to put down to sleep in the first place, then he started waking up at midnight crying, then crying every 30-45 minutes after that. At first his nights were just wacky but by yesterday and today, his perfect little day routine was completely thrown off as well.

To me, this says he isn't ready to not sleep in the same room as me. Him sleeping in his crib at 7 weeks is NOT more important to me than him sleeping through the night.

So I decided to throw in the towel and keep him in the pack and play in our room for now. Tonight, after his bath and bottle, he went right down to sleep. As I type this, he is snoozing away just a few feet from me.

I'm not expecting a miracle tonight. In fact, I'm preparing myself to be up several times. But I think it was the right decision to do this and get him back to sleeping his long nights.

We go to the pediatrician next Friday for his 2 month appointment. I am planning on getting her opinion on all of this!

Whew.....this week has been exhausting. Hardest week yet since he's been born :-/ But at least I am confident he will get back to sleeping well soon. I'm just hoping I'm not prolonging this hard transition.

No picture in this post....typing for the first time from my phone and I'm too brain dead to figure out how :)
