My son turned 5 months this week. It’s been a crazy 5 months. The first few weeks home from the hospital I thought I had made a mistake trying to get pregnant. I had no idea what I was doing. He ate non stopped and only slept when one of us held him. We finally got him to sleep at night but he would only sleep in the rock n play. It was better but still a crap shoot as to when he would finally go to sleep for the night. I was still just winging it! After my husband went back to work when our son was 6 weeks old I just prayed for someone to come over to help me. I was going crazy being home all the time. I tried to get out of the house every day and walk around a store or something, but I was totally ready to go back to work. The weekend before I was supposed to go back to work I decided my son needed to learn to sleep in the pack n play. I watched some videos on you tube about sleep training and I figured the common theme was let them cry. At 15 weeks old we put him down that Saturday night and just let him cry. First he was just fussy, then he got quiet, then he screamed. After 55 minutes he was asleep and he slept all night. Now 5 months later I feel like I know what I’m doing! Now that I’m back to work we have a routine. He sleeps all night most of the time. The weekends go by too fast. I wish I had more time to spend with my little man. He’s getting so big and is such a joy to my husband and I and our extended family! Sorry so long...🙄
