We did it backwards—baby is capable of sleeping on his own and falling asleep on his own. After an epiphany, I realize how much my baby needs me, how important it is to me to have him close by at all times. Btw, I am not putting down moms who are doing otherwise cause I did so as well. I love sleeping with my baby. I love him snuggling into me and waking up to his big eyes looking at me. He isn’t a wild sleeper or anything so it’s not uncomfortable but I love my baby just putting his hand on my face to make sure I am there. I get told all the time how I should let him sleep in his crib. But really, He is only going to be this little once. I want to enjoy him while I can. There will be a time when he will be a “big boy” and I’ll crave the cuddles and snuggles.
