My view.
We unintentionally became co-sleepers this week. I’m not sure if little man is teething or dealing with separation anxiety, but he absolutely refused to sleep in his bed, and I have no desire to let him cry it out.
It took us a few nights to get used to sleeping side by side, but he’s actually sleeping better now, and he’s now napping in the bed as well(as opposed to in my arms!). I had a few panicky moments because he’s slept solidly in the Rock ‘N Play since we got it, but I’m glad I followed my own advice and went with the flow because it’s really been a good thing!
Here are some of my favorite posts from this week. As always, check out what I’m reading and what I’m pinning to see the other posts that make me stop and think (or, you know, drool…). You’ll find new posts all week long!
