This is my 2nd child. He's 3 months old, but this is really been since day 1. He is a great sleeper as long as I'm sleeping with him. After he was born i was on bed rest, so literally the first 2 weeks we did sleep together because I didn't have the option to get out of bed. And since I have a demanding older DD, i usually just wear him during the day or lay down with both of them for a midday nap. The only real issue is at night. He seems to be falling asleep around 8-9ish in arms. It does not matter how long i've held him - 10 minutes or an hour, when i lay him down he seems totally out...will be fine for ten minutes, then wakes up crying. I've tried just patting him or laying next to him for a minute, but unless i pick him up it becomes full crying and then he wakes up. The biggest issue is that since we are a cosleeping family, i can't just let him cry because it will wake the 2 year - i'm not saying i would CIO, but i can't sit there patting him while he cries either. I end up holding him all night while DH and I watch TV, but it would be nice to have the option to do something else.
It's funny because my first DD was high-needs, but once we finally got her down she would sleep. With this one, he falls asleep easily, but doesn't stay asleep.
