M has been a GREAT night sleeper since he was 2 months old. Until now. For the past week or so, he has been struggling to sleep in his crib and stay asleep. D usually feeds him and lays him down asleep after he eats and gets rocked for a few minutes. I have done that same routine and he has been fine.
Starting last week, M has been waking up as soon as we lay him down. We try really hard not to pick him up so we pat him, put the paci in, sssshhhh, etc but after 5-6 times in a 2 hour window and we're done. We put him in bed with us and he falls asleep in an instant. In fact, he falls asleep as SOON AS WE pick him up!!
So, last night I picked him and laid him on our bed and he propped himself on his side and fell asleep. So, tonight we tried that after he woke up - I rolled him onto his side and rolled up 2 blankets (one behind, one in front) and he has been asleep for 20 minutes now without a peep.
Could this be the solution??? How do I keep him safe on his side without watching him like a hawk? Watch for some research on this....I must figure this out!
