What gives??

Up until 3 nights ago, B would go down for bed pretty easily. We have the same nightly routine, and end the end he would pretty happily go in his crib md sleep a long stretch.

Well, 3 nights ago, he decided to change the game. The routine is the same, but now he won't sleep until he is on H or I. Put him in his crib? He will scream. Put him in the swing? Scream. He only wants to be held- this includes day time naps as well, though right now I am less concerned with that.

So, what gives? And what do I do? the last few nights we have just been taking shifts sleeping with him on the couch. For the weekend, that was doable, but we are both going back to work now and mommy and daddy need some real sleep too!! Thoughts?

    Yup- 12 weeks. So just wait it out? I'm afraid we are forming bad habits and he will never want to sleep alone again

    Same deal here, since around 12.5 weeks... We are at week 14 now. More wakefulness, clinginess, and crankiness. I wouldn't worry about forming bad habits at this stage. Just do what you can for your baby.

    There is also a sleep regression period that hits at 3 or 4 months. We're experiencing it now and I think we're going to have to figure out bed sharing with a reflux baby as DS is having issues sleeping not in physical contact too. I haven't slept more than 30 minute increments tonight!

    Ugh I feel for you... It's never been that bad with DD.

    It blows because we were down to one MOTN waking.  :(
    We were down to one MOTN waking as well.. but the last three nights, if he is not touching either DH or I, he is NOT sleeping or happy.  Of course, DH and I were both looking forward to the long weekend to catch up on sleep... yay.. LO had other plans.

    Have you tried putting him to sleep in his swing? Also I agree with the others at this stage in the game you can't really spoil them or form bad habits. You're still in survival mode. Good luck!

    Just do what you have to do so all of you can get some sleep, and the phase will pass.  Hang in there!

    Swing is a no-go even during the day at this point (he used to love it).  Literally the only time we have put him down the entire long weekend was when he was playing on his kick piano.  And even then, we had to be right with him.  I hope things are going alright with the babysitter- she was warned. 

    We are just going to do what we have to do to make it work.  I told my H that we just have to focus on staying calm and patient this week with both LO and each other.
