I've always said I never regret anything because I wouldn't be who I am today. Well, this may be as close to regret as I'm going to get. Over a year ago I was so tired and paranoid so my son started sleeping in bed with me. Now he's 18 months and we've not had any close calls until tonight.
The bed is next to the wall, he's always slept closest to the wall, tonight he was having problems getting comfy I guess and he rolled over my legs (because he decided sleeping with his head closer to my knees would be good) and rolled right out of bed and face planted on the floor. So now I'm searching for aanything that will get him in his crib which is still in my room bc we're living with family and there hasn't been one available until saddly recently when my husband's Grandmother passed and we're still transitioning because Mom in law is a perfectionist and will spend months renovationg that room becauae she wants my son to have her room. But thats another story.
Anyway, I've tried crib training before with little success because he goes into hysterics and with naps thats out because our room doubles as my work space and I'm on the phone a majority of the day because I work for a call center from home. Any advice would be amazing. Oh, and he is Not nursing he never did because I always expressed my milk until I dried up. That seems to be a recurring theme in anything I read about co sleeping.
Re: I messed up...
My 15 month old will only sleep in his crib for naps and at night he wakes up every few hours and I have to hold and rock him to get him to sleep in it. Good luck momma!
