Up until now I have been the involved in any sleep process with our 14 month old. He is extremely spirited and a little touchy ( first night of PD was 3 1/2 hours). His papa has worked pretty much 7 days a week from the day he was born up until about one month ago and I am done. We still have sleep issues, I am too exhausted to go through PD again.
Now that His papa will be home in the pm a few night a week we will start with him bathing Roaen tonite and on friday will put him down to sleep. I know Roaen will be in hesterics. The odd time in the middle of the night papa has gone to soothe him in his crib, but Roaen ends up getting hysterical because it is not mom. Yes I am guilty of stepping in because it just made things easier and happen faster.
My question is should I leave the house? Roaen and I are extremely attached and this is also going to be hell for me. Is it okay to go out, or should I stay here just in case. I can seem to bear the crying if it is me, but with someone eles it is different. His papa and him have only had some time to play together and so this will be a huge adjustment. Am I going about it in the right way? should I leave so I don't go in and rescue? I know they have to find their own way.
Any experiences and suggestions I would love to hear.
