Ok that makes sense :-) Thanks anna.

I can report that last night went VERY good. He did not make a sound before 00.30, which was just once for his paci. Which i had to guide his hand towards to. And the same happen again at 3.30.
Nothing else, he did not wake up or complain more in his sleep.
He woke up at 6.50am So it has been a good night :-)

However, the typical for me, since i slept in the day i was unable to fall aslep before 10.30pm, so being woken up after 2 hours, and then again 3, i pretty much did not sleep after 3.30am and felt like crap this morning even tho my son did pretty well... (the good part is that the hours i do sleep are quality compared to when he sleeps next to me)
That interrupted sleep truly takes the best of me... Im no longer myself, i am official only Maxmilian´s mom and thats all i am these days. But at least i am happy with how well i do that job:-)

XOXOXOXO
Thanks again anna, ill write back if things get rougher and i feel like i need more support sticking to his crib only.

I HATE that when mama can't sleep well even though baby is sleeping! You could try a magnesium supplement right at bedtime - all natural and really helps me.

((((hugs)))) you're doing so well - hey, pop back in a few days with an update for us?

SURE, i will :-) Thanks again! Really, It wasnt that hard at all when i didnt do it all on my own. I feel much better about myself now that he is back in his crib.
Ill give magnesium a chance too, im sure i could need a refill of all kinds of vitamines :-)

DD1 used pacis so when she went to bed I used to put about 5 or so in the crib.   She would always find one in the night.

Congrats on the good night sleep for Maxmilian.   Sorry you didn't have a great night sleep.

Thank you, Ive made sure Maxmilian has 8 pacis in his crib at all times :-) Its very dark in the room, maybe he doesnt see them? I dont know... i just need to keep teaching him to find it himself...

So, i have had to compromise yesterday.
By which i mean, i have moved his crib next to my bed. (!)

He is still in much discomfort in the nights, we have been to the hospital today running tests to see if there can be an infection of some sort as his temperature keeps falling really low at night. He stays up during these hours and find the pain killlers or the medicine has not a much effect when the temperature is low, I also feel like i keep drugging him down.... It has been very tiring, it keeps being tiring but i cant go back to co sleep and i sure couldnt keep laying on the floor night by night... so thats the update!

:-)

Thank you!!! I hope he gets better soon and honestly i have a good feeling (i think its only the teeth bothering him) so i try not to worriy to much. I do feel better about taking all the tests just in case, but as he is doing ok during the day i try to stay positive. Its just in the nights that i kind of loose my mind and feel very frustrated for him as well. I cant take his pain away and that is the ultimate motherhood at its worse.

Thanks anna! You truly helped me last week and i appreaciate it. Those hours i do sleep are much better than when we started co sleeping and i dont think i would have made a change if there wasnt for your support. So for now the plan is to keep him next to my bed until he gets better (all of these teeth break through) and then start all over again with sleeping apart...
