DS has decided he's a bedsharer

Maybe this is the four-month wakeful, but DS has been waking up earlier and earlier to eat in the MOTN. At first it was 6 on the dot, then 5:45, then 5, 4, and now 3:30. After he eats, he's sleepy and seems like he's asleep until I put him in his bed; then he's wide awake. The only thing that will get him to go back to sleep is sleeping in my bed next to me.

While I'm not opposed to bedsharing, it's not for me because a) I move around in my sleep a lot; b) I like lots of blankets and c) I have trouble sleeping if someone's touching me. So the last several days I've been waking up with a backache beccause I can't shift positions. When it was just for an hour or two I was okay with it, but I'm too paranoid to let him sleep in my bed for several hours.

How do you bedsharers manage it?

  • With a huge amount of sighing. I can't wait for colder weather, when it'll be more tolerable.

    I'm missing something. How does colder weather help?

  • Sleep with a long sleeve top so I feel cozy, without blankets. We have a king so I move him Over towards the middle and sleep on my side. We only bedshare in the early morning hours. But I also like snuggeling with my little man so I sleep pretty good.

    Ah. Now I get it. Thanks for the tips everyone. Sadly we don't have a king-size, so I'll figure something out.
