Damned if I do, damned if I dont...(sleep related)
No matter what, I'll never get any sleep with this kid...
Cailen will only sleep on his belly. I posted about this in the past, but we are finally letting him do this - its his 2nd night in a row, and he slept so much better. But tonight I'm on baby duty, and I swear, i am hovering over him every second making aure he is still breathing...
so much for me getting sleep tonight

maybe buy one of those moniters..it's worth it if you will be able to sleep in piece.

If he sleeps better that way, then I say leave him

me too-that was the rule then. DH & I were discussing that we both slept on our belly and we are OK back then they didn't want kids sleeping on their backs b/c they thought they would choke on spit up

I'm telling you, belly sleeping was a life saver for us. I was nervous at first too, but as soon as he was able to get himself there on his own there was nothing I could do about it. And he slept SO much better. If I have a bad sleeper next time around I will put them on their belly earlier than i did with Luca. Now he sleeps in a million positions through the night.

Milani sleeps better this way also and she is only 3-1/2 weeks. I literally had to put my t-shirt in the pack n play so that she would think she was still on me. At first I would worry..but not so much anymore because she grunts like crazy when she is waking up.

I agree. Matthew was doing this and then getting stuck on his belly. I found that after a few nights, he figured out how to move around and sleeping has become much better. And I needed to learn how to relax.
