terrible sleep = time to try the crib

j.d.gal

So, LO has been sleeping in our bed in a snuggle nest pretty much from the beginning.  He was sleeping really well - until he got sick two weeks ago - and we were about to try his crib at night.  We already transitioned him to his crib for naps.  

Then he got sick and (1) would only nap on or with us and (2) started waking up again several times at night (instead of just once).  Last night was the worst - I was up every hour and LO was up every two (DH's snoring, our dog getting in and out of bed, and LO flailing accounted for the additional wake ups - awesome!).  And he outgrew his snuggle nest weeks ago, but we're still using it.

So, I think tonight we are going to try the crib.  I love having LO in the bed but need sleep too.  And I want him in his crib before I return to work in 3 weeks.  

Anyone have any tips?
