Since the day Jaxson was born, he has been a sleeper! We had to set alarms to wake him up each night to eat, or he would just sleep through the entire night! Our pediatrician told us that he was far too little to do such a thing, so we kept waking him up till we had the ok that we didn't have to anymore! After that, he slept great all night for quite a few weeks, then BAM! No more Mr. Nice Guy in the night! He was waking up 2-3 times a night, and it was killing us!
I then started wondering if he was relating our bedroom to somewhere were he always ate, and so he was putting two and two together! He was just waking up, realizing where he was, and wanting to eat all night! So, I talked to my mom and sisters, and they all told us to try him in his own room and see how he does!?! I knew I needed to, but was DREADING it! I hate him not being right at my side! Long story short, he was up all night and we ended up bringing him back into our room and in the cradle. It was so hard going back and forth between the rooms, and was for sure not doing it again the next night! BUT, Tyler then insisted that we need to keep at it or he would get confused.
So, then next night we layed him in his crib and when we went to bed, but I simply couldn't do it! I had a rush of hormones, tears, and separation issues, and he ended up right beside us in his cradle in a matter of minutes! He was still waking up off and on in the night, so I decided I was feeling pretty brave again last night, and just decided that we would all probably sleep better if we carried through with him in his own room!
So 9 o'clock last night we tucked him into his crib, turned on some lullaby's, and let him fall asleep. We then went to bed a few hours later, and I woke up at 7:15 to him giggling in the baby moniter and in his crib! He did so good! He never hardly moved a muscle, and slept ALL night again!
