I'm thinking ds is probably hitting a developmental milestone or possibly teething (a bit of drooling and fussiness going on too). Our sleep has been completely erratic the last week or so. He had a cold a week ago but the sleep is actually worse since he is feeling better.
We co-sleep and ds has always been waking between 1.5-3 hours. Occasionally we got a 4 hour stretch (pretty rare though). I've always thought he seemed to be a light sleeper but I wasn't ready to have him sleep anywhere but our bed yet. But last night I really couldn't sleep and it seemed that everytime dh moved around, or me for that matter, ds was waking up. We were up about every 1 to 1.5 hours and he's nursing every time.
I seem to be going back and forth about co-sleeping with him. We co-slept with our first out of necessity, horribly sleeper. I didn't really love it, but it was the best arrangement for him and us. I really like having ds 2 in our bed too, but I still find myself searching for cribs online......like I'm not quite settled with the decision. I think we just need a bigger sleep space and I need to decide whether that will be a crib or a bigger family bed...... Plus I realize the crib may or may not help with his sleep patterns and so I don't want to spend the money on getting one and finding we don't use it.

I finally was so tired and ended up needing to rock him in arms back to sleep and decided to put him in his bassinet in the other room. He slept for 3 hours!! He's done that before quite often but not lately. Of course I couldn't fall back to sleep for an hour because I was so worried about him.
