I’m having a really hard time transitioning Joseph into his crib. Back when I was 37 weeks pregnant my husband came home with a portable bassinet and at first it was meant to be used while I was still breast feeding. Fast forward 26 weeks and he’s still sleeping in the bassinet and I have not been breast feeding for a while! He has not slept one night in the beautiful crib my mom bought him. The crib has become a hangout for his stuffed animals. I look at the crib every day and I know that eventually he will have to sleep in there but I just can’t imagine sleeping without him by my side. I don’t even know if this is normal at this point. Is it? I’ve tried to put him in there for nap time and it’s equally nerve wrecking for me and I’m not even in the same room as him. It will have to do right now because I’m not ready to have him make that transition yet.
I’ve never ever had this type of problem with my other boys. Each of them made the transition to their cribs within 6-8 weeks. My oldest cried and woke up every night until he was about a year old but I held my ground and kept him in his crib. This little guy has got me wrapped around his finger. It’s amazing how one tiny little boy can have so much control over me after having five boys! I know having this many boys is a rare thing now a days but I now that I can’t be the only one that’s gone through this. Am I? 🙂
