Bedtime
AJ used to sleep great. Not anymore. In fact just getting him to sleep is really hard! We've tried it all. The routine of bath, pjs, book bed. That isn't really working. So sometimes we have to push him around in the stroller to lull him to sleep. That works sometimes. We've done the car thing too. We are trying to just put him in his crib when he's sleepy and get him to fall asleep on his own. He's probably done that twice. He's also getting up a lot in the night. Sometimes to nurse but also just for comfort. It's tough to keep up this no sleeping and working. He went to bed at 1000 last night and then got up at 1230, 2, 4 and 5. Then I had to go to work at 6. Rough!! That was the worst night lately. Usually he's just up once or twice. I really just want him to be able to fall asleep easily. He gets so tired that he cries harder and harder and his poor eyes are bright red. Poor thing. We are doing our best.

It's really tough. We struggle all the time. Keira has NEVER been put down in her crib awake and then fallen asleep. I nurse her to sleep every single night. She will definitely nap in her stroller really well. But at night she just doesn't settle down... At least once a week I have to take her to bed with me to get her to sleep. She does still wake during the night too. For us, the only thing that works is cosleepig so I don't have any other advice except to say that for most people it isn't easy and most babies wake up a couple times a night... Even beyond one year old!
