Recently turned single parent

Hello everyone!

Well...I guess I am now going to be joining yall's forum. My fiance left me and our son two days ago out of the blue. We have had moments before but never like this. I am 90% sure it is over for good. He also left our baby boy. His name is Korbyn Gage and is 3 1/2 months old. He's is so gorgeous and makes me smile when I need to the most. He is my entire life, especially now. I will not go in to all the problems I am facing now since my other half left...such as financial problems and such ( I stayed at home with my son and full time student). But I do wanna ask about something. I recently was trying to get my LO to start sleeping in his crib again. He usually falls asleep on me and I move him to his swing. If I put him in the crib he wakes up. The problem is...now that his dad left...I have been having him sleep in the bed with me all night. I know I shouldn't but he makes it a little easier to sleep in that bed by myself. If I get sad I can just snuggle up to him I am worried how this will effect the whole crib thing...but most people tell me as long as I get it fixed by 6 mths, it will be okay. Is this right?

Holy crap. I didn't read your story, but that kid is FREAKING CUTE!

His hair looks like my son's when he was born!

Ditto, what a cutie!

Don't refer to your ex as your other half. You are a whole person without him.

I wouldn't worry too much about him sleeping with you. I never had DS sleep with me because I got such a craptastic night's sleep but if it's working for you, then go with it!
