DS is almost 5 months and sleep has always been very touchy for us. He was on reflux meds for about 3 months and has been off for about 2 weeks. So we relished any sleep. We bedshare which works for us for the most part but he also naps on me and that's the only place he will sleep. It makes it very hard to get anything done or give me any sense of a break.

I need this for my sanity. He has slept a total of almost 6 hours on me today!
