Preparing for a self-induced hellish night :)

in February 2012 Moms

LO has been sleeping in her RnP until her first feeding and then in bed with me because she usually takes soooo long to get back to sleep I fall asleep in the meantime. I have a love-hate relationship with co-sleeping. It gets us both a great amount of rest but I feel so panicked about smothering her. I know the research, I believe the risks are remote, and I think cosleeping is great for those who are up for it. But, I just can't handle the stress it is bringing me personally.

So, tonight we're not doing it. Let's see how this goes :-/

    GL! I am anticipating the same amount of hellish-ness when we go to the crib...which is why I have been avoiding it! 

    I hope your LO acclimates easily and you get some good shut eye :)

    Here is a nugget of hope.

    Our little one had been sleeping in the RnP and PnP in our room for the first 5 weeks. We just transitioned him this week to his crib and he sleep WAY better.  We were getting at best a 4 hour stretch in our room and now we are getting one 6 hour and one 3 hour stretch in the crib.

    Maybe it will be perfect and you will both sleep better!

     

    Good luck!

    Good luck! We moved DD from the RnP to the PnP last month, because our pediatrician wanted her on a flat surface. The first night sucked, but after that she was fine.

    I should post how it went! I meant to this morning but didn't have the chance because I was shopping for return-to-work clothes. Eghhhh

    LO slept 30% of the night in her PnP, 60% in her RnP, and the rest with me which happened because I accidentally fell asleep nursing her. I'll take it! And hope tonight goes even better. Right now she just crashed out in the PnP.
