It was fun while it lasted...

Well, this week Braden has decided he needs to nap in my arms again. So, once I put him down he wakes up. And he hasn't been napping for long even in my arms. He's been really fussy and I'm guessing it's because he's so tired. At least he sleeps ok at night!

is he teething? i know when the boys are they just want me to hold them. have you tried holding him and laying down on your bed then slowly moving your arm out from under him then putting a pillow right against him so he feels like you are still there??

can you tell i've done this a lot? lol. its saved my life.

Awe I am sorry. This is how J is. We have a good streak for a few days and then bam! Back to no sleep and constantly wanting to be held.

Have you tried swaddling him? I know that saved us when Nicholas was that age, as he still felt like we were holding him!

[Braden'sMama]

Yeah, I do swaddle him. He still loves to be swaddled. But he knows when he isn't being held. The other day I laid with him in my bed and he slept for 2 1/2 hours though. But this morning I laid him down and he slept for 3 hours. He would wake up and fuss for just a minute and then go back to sleep. That book that I am reading is really helping me. He also slept longer last night then he has before.

That's great - I hope it continues for you!
