Sleep training is difficult.
Sleep training is even more difficult when you have to do it again and you do not have a partner to sit with while it is happening.
Braylon ended up in bed with me last night. As soon as I would put him in his crib, he would scream bloody murder. I ended up not being able to take it. Colin was at work and it was just me. So I brought him to bed and cuddled all night. It was nice. But I did not want to make it a habit. I do not want to ruin the good thing we have going with him sleeping for 12hours in his bed. So tonight I tried to wear him out. In the hopes he would pass out. I put him down and the crying began. I am the worst mommy ever. All my baby wanted was to cuddle with his mommy. And I denied him. I am a bad mommy.
He is finally asleep and I think I need a cookie or ten to make me feel better.
You are not a bad mommy! He is just testing his boundaries and what he can get away with. I know it's hard, but in the end you have to do what's best for Braylon. :o(
ReplyDeleteThanks! I just hate having to re-train him. But I guess I will have this for the rest of life!
