Sorry Charliekeys hopefully he acts better soon! Im at the end of my rope too, most due to lack of sleep
some friends have told me about this "Ferber Method" book, Ive been reading about it online and though its not all about crying it out its sooo hard for husband and I to do that. I enjoy co sleeping because we get to snuggle at night and I know he wont be little forever and one day Ill wish I spent more time hugging and snuggling him. That being said I NEED my bed back. I need that intimacy back with my husband of just being able to touch each other at night with out a baby in between us. Then there is the new baby coming, if he is still sleeping with us who will make sure he is not falling off the bed while I tend to the infant? And though everyone says this will pass and you dont see older kids sleeping with parents I do think sometimes there is an over attachment between child and parents. My sister for example let their 2nd daughter co sleep and at 7 years old she is now sneaking into their room to sleep cause she does not want to sleep alone. So my sister has a 5 month old baby in the bassinet next to bed and a 7 year old in between her and her husband. She has warned me not to even start sleeping together. Her 12 year old always slept in her own bed and has no problems sleeping alone or on her own.
Last night was ridiculous, he was soo sleepy all day we get ready for bed and its two hours before he will even lay down and go to bed. Then less then 2 hours later he is awake for FOUR hours whining, kicking me, hitting me in the face, hitting his head on the head board, kicking baby bump, smothering his dad. He is a sleep crawler so most things he is doing is while he is half asleep, never wide awake. I lay there worried to even swallow cause if he wakes up then he is up. I grip the edge of the bed all night cause no matter how many times I move him im still pushed right off the bed. It breaks my heart to hear him cry when I know if I just pick him up he will stop but something has to give!
Tonight we are leaving him in his crib no matter what! Its right next to our bed so he should be fine and Im going to keep consoling him with out picking him up. Please wish us luck! I have no idea what happened for 6 months he slept alone over night just fine never waking, at almost 10 months old he should not be waking up every couple hours! He fell asleep awhile ago and I put him in his bed just for him to do his usual immediate wake up, I left a little toy in there and told him night night and left the room. He was quite about 2 minutes then cried non stop for five minutes. As I walked in the room to console him he started jumping up and down giggling
so I pat him on the back till he stops, then leave the room, he starts crying, I go back and get him and now he is playing with his toys on the floor like he is no longer sleepy
