Finn is a bad sleeper. He was a good sleeper the first few weeks, but then it changed. He likes to sleep on my lap, in my arms, in my bed,
but he hates sleeping in his own bed. We tried a lot of things, but from the moment we lay him down, he starts crying.
We tried waiting for him to fall asleep in our arms and then put him in his bed, didn't work. We have a night light, a stuffed animal that makes calming noise... that seems to help a little, but not every time.
We tried tucking him in tied. We tried swaddling him, but he hates that. We tried talking to him until he is sleeping. We tried a pacifier.
It's so sad.

Hang in there! One of my DDs didn't sleep through the night until she was 4.5 YEARS old. lol They can't stay awake forever! Love the dramatic colors on your page, though. Great way to document this!
 
Oh wow, Lynn! How did YOU get through that and stay sane!? I can't imagine!

Thank you ladies so much for all your wonderful comments, advices and the stories you shared. Much much much appreciated. :wub:
 
Beautiful page for a tough time. Praying you get through this bump with sweet Finn. The mommy shirt helped my guy at 2 to stay in his bed
 
Ah my sweet friend! I'm really sorry for that! Finn is clever, sleeping with mom and dad is better than alone!:D
Kidding about it but know it's not funny for you all! We had this kind of stuffed toy (it was a turtle here's lol that make relaxing sounds). Twins slept the first month in a cocoonababy because they were so tiny it really help them. They used to sleep with me because it was easier with the bottles in the night but after they went in their own bed in the same room, sometimes it was ok sometimes not. Later 9 month they used to play together and "chatting" their way and didn't sleep either.:/ (and throwing all the toys they can on the floor!)
The thing is they never manage to sleep alone since I'm not in my bed even if I'm not in the same bedroom. Even now, they can wait until more than midnight if I'm watching tv for example... I can't explain this to people because they probably think we are crazy but I truly think it's because they stay alone in NICU the 1st month of their life the night so there's a logic to me even if I'm not really happy with this!:p
They also need a white sound like a fan to sleep.
I think it's going to get better but it's not easy to be quiet when you don't sleep! Totally understand!:wub:
 
Oh and forget about the stuff that do soft lights in the room! They still have it now since it's light garland but keep one from their baby time they use to go to the loo in the night.
