Ok.. So, my son typically (ok, always like every single night) sleeps in the bed with us. Right next to me, and usually on his side. It started on accident because I would fall asleep breastfeeding when he was waking up much more often. Now he wakes up around 1am and around 4am and then not until my husband gets up for work. We are trying to get him to sleep in his bassinet, but are struggling. He will NOT, I repeat WILL NOT sleep for more than about 10 minutes on his back and that's only if he can hold my hand while he falls asleep. He will cry and cry and ends up in bed with me after two or three hours of struggling to get him to sleep. He sleeps quite well during the day on my chest on his stomach (as he has been doing for the past couple hours right now) and will finish his nap in his bouncy chair. He wakes up the instant he is put on his back in his crib.

I've been reading and informing myself about stomach sleeping in infants, because I'm insanely paranoid to put him to bed on his stomach when I'm not awake to watch him. I've contemplated a cosleeper which would make him feel closer to me, but still have him on his back and in his own space and maybe easier to move him to his bassinet.. But that seems silly to me too. I read an article written by a mom who seems to have done her own research and it seems like babies who are used to sleeping on their stomachs are typically better off on their stomachs anyway.

Anywho.. Sorry for the long post, but ANY advice, or even just encouragement, on this would be so incredibly helpful. I need to break the bad habits I've created for him..

@ktwins188, my husband wants us to break this habit before he gets older and it's even more difficult to break. I love having him cuddle with me all night.

For Fun

With most of us in a sleep regression or exhausted from being working moms, or just plain bored I figured it would be fun to get a little game started... so who's up for 2 truths and a lie? It's easy.. you post 3 facts about yourself, 2 true and 1 lie and when you guess you post yours here's mine:

Yep your right Mary. I only have one. Want more but haven't got there yet!!!
Omg keep that pack away from me ?
Gee I'm late and missed so much. Can't wait to come back later and read them all.
