just when i thought i had it all figured out

[sosurreal09]

i co-slept with DD until she was 5 m/o then started putting her in the crib she did well but had never been a great sleeper anyways. then 8 m/o hit and sleep became hell and i started having her come to bed with me half the night...now she won't sleep anywhere but the bed and we are co-sleeping again. i feel stupid for even bothering with the whole crib drama. all i hear is you'd better do it now because she will never leave you're bed blah blah blah. yeah ok i did it it worked but the kid still never slept and i am exhausted and with teething, sleep regressions, and growth spurts they always end up in the bed anyway. just thought i would share that with all the moms thinking its "worth it" to sleep train or try to have their baby sleep independently....i went through it, it was NOT easy and in the end it was truly worthless to us!!
