It's the best we can do.<br><br>As to sleep through, well, I have 3 kids and no 2 were different. We went from an excellent sleeper (sleep through from 3 weeks) to one that only strated sleeping through 6 months ago after the age of 4.But I have to add that he has SPD/SID and they are not "normal" sleepers at allcathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15788508986252339771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058218725749954512.post-71461830953357323432012-07-17T09:57:35.985+02:002012-07-17T09:57:35.985+02:00Each to his own. And yes, we do what we need to do...Each to his own. And yes, we do what we need to do, to survive. I'm not a co-sleeper. Never have been and probably never will be. On the days when Dudie is not well, Dude or I will dose off with him, but we will go back to our bed when Dudie's asleep. Good luck. I sometimes want to kick Dude out of bed, as he too can be a restless sleeper sometimes :-)spiritedmama1http://spiritedmama1.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058218725749954512.post-19995371041981579452012-07-17T09:14:09.781+02:002012-07-17T09:14:09.781+02:00That seems very cute (the way he wants to snuggle)...That seems very cute (the way he wants to snuggle), but I understand your dilemma. Both you and A NEED sleep for your sanity and his development. I am a sleep training advocate. Having said that, my toddler has been creeping in with us every night all winter and I've allowed it. The sleep training has resulted in him going to sleep by himself in his own room though, which is a HUGE help. <br><br>Last year I bit the bullet and did the sleep training thing. I blogged about it day by day until we had success.

It was so we could all get some more sleep, now it's a habit we can't break. Sometimes i think its the worst thing ever and its my fault for starting bad habits but most of the time i love having him so close to us, and we get a good nights sleep. I'm terrified to move him into his bed, i'm terrified of the tantrums and heartbreak! But we'll get there when we're ready!

Well, actually, we play "musical beds" all night long between our bed and our toddler's bed.<br><br>Good luck and I hope you sort it out!Dejahttp://www.moomie.co.zanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058218725749954512.post-34198321196582164872012-07-16T20:42:43.322+02:002012-07-16T20:42:43.322+02:00Jessie, we co-sleep too sometimes - all three of u...Jessie, we co-sleep too sometimes - all three of us! Especially when Ivy is sick! There's nothing wrong with it, unfortunately your sleep does suffer tho :-) I know. Just do it slow, maybe try to move him to his cot when he is asleep. Believe it or not, they get used to things pretty quickly if you keep repeating them. Ivy still cries when we put her in her cot at night but if I stay in the room and hang up the washing or something she falls asleep much quicker knowing I'm there with her. Just try one thing at a time and don't feel bad if he's back in your bed after half an hour - just try again tomorrow.
