Wahoo. I am so proud
Ok bit of a pointless post but I am one proud mummy at the moment so wanted to share.
Fin is 9 weeks now and I have never been able to get him to sleep in a room on his own. I have been putting him in his cot since he was a week old so that he got used to it but he has never managed to sleep in it and if I put him in it asleep he would just wake up within 5 minutes screaming.
I had tried putting him down in his moses basket in our room to go to sleep during the day and after his 7.30pm feed but again once I am out of the room he just wakes up and will not settle again.
I did give up for a while but he is seriously outgrowing his basket so has to go in his cot soon.
I decided that I would start trying to put him down upstairs for naps in the day.
I took him up to his room and put him in his cot at 7.05am this morning (he woke up at 5.30) because he was looking tired but lately has not been sleeping very well downstairs. Anyway he cried for about 5 minutes then suddenly stopped and just stared at one spot and then fell asleep. He is still asleep up there now.
Ok he did fall asleep with me in the room but I have heard him wake up a couple of times and talk to himself then fall asleep again.
WAAAHHOOOOO.
He has been self settling in his basket with us in the room but I never thought he would do it in his cot on his own.
Might take the plunge and put him down in his cot tonight. Fingers crossed he will be just as good.
Sorry I have gone on a bit but I am so so proud.

He is still asleep now. Trouble is I am now thinking maybe he thinks it is night time and will get too much sleep.
Hmmm never happy. Seem to worry one way or the other. :roll:
Our bubbas are growing up so fast! xxx
I keep waking up in a big panick that he is still asleep. I have actually poked him a couple of times to make sure he was ok, soon regretted that :roll:
It's so strange when they sleep for ages isn't it, you shoot out of bed like a nutter!
Can't believe how time is flying.

Put him down in his cot at 7.30 last night and he slept till 10.30 had a feed and was back down within 15 minutes and that is where he stayed until 7.15 this morning.
I just hope it wasn't a one off.
