I chatted with a bunch of other moms and found out that it was a Baby Thing, in my mind that means The Weather. I found mine sleeps best when the house is exactly 23.5 degrees ;) I haven't tried to get him to sleep through the night though, reading all of this advice is making me contemplate it!Ginger Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189121861977780830.post-85774772588108898512012-06-04T00:15:28.158-04:002012-06-04T00:15:28.158-04:00Ahh!

Thank...Hi Shannon - love your blog and your home!! Thanks for sharing. My kids are much older than your gorgeous guy, but I co-slept. Neither of my children used a crib, plus, obviously, nursing on demand. I used a sling until they were each too big for it, rather than too much in a stroller. Take it from me, what you will remember in 15 years is the closeness and not the sleepiness/sleeplessness :-) Much continued good luck.

Whatever is waking him will hopefully pass soon (teething, etc.). Just make sure it doesn't become a habit for him; i.e. no real reason except that he likes to see Mom's smiling face in the middle of the night : )Maggienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189121861977780830.post-73032547147584626832012-05-30T10:47:39.864-04:002012-05-30T10:47:39.864-04:00You can do it!!
