You knowi was one of those people who wanted their baby sleeping in her crib in her nursery. But babies are all wired differently. She would wake up every 2 to 3 hr to nurse. Till I weaned her off at 18 months I barely got any sleep at all. Whenshe turned 1 hubs begged me to live and let live. Instead of forcing her to be in her room we brought her I our bed. Now we are in the transition of our bed to crib in our room next to me so I can hold hher hand while she sleeps. Like the author of the above article we love cuddling with her. Its also inconvenient but this is what works for us. Forget the norms they are not important. What’s important is you get decent sleep so you can function the next day.

The same happened to us .. my babies HATE HATE their cribs.

As soon as the they were born the midwife would put them on my chest and the first one decided thats the postion she wants to sleep from now on .. maybe (as my MIL tells me .. I have soft skin/body) they must love it.
the early days in the hospital most babies were sleeping in their cribs, mines would be like crying the moment I put her in it, even if she was sleep she would wake up.

so at home I gave up and let my babies sleep in one side of the bed, securing the other side.

I too didnt sleep till I stop nursing u… and to sleep I would have done anything lol..

so do what works for u all ..

now my elder sleeps in her room, when my husband is on business trips, she comes to our bed and me and my two kiddos sleep there .. but yesterday she was snoring so loud .. touba touba .. and as I am preggo I could not pick her up and take her to her room so had a rather disturbed sleep
