My cute little baby boy has been teething for over a week now. I did not sleep for two straight nights, the last weekend. But when I see him in discomfort and pain, I want to cuddle and comfort him. Being a working mom, I don’t get to be with him during the day, so when he wants to come to bed with me, I cave in and let him join me
He has been religiously waking up every day for a week now at 12:30 AM to come to bed with me. And then last couple nights he woke up at 10:30 PM and came to bed with me. I think he is getting a little spoiled and forming a habit now to come to bed with meJ. I am letting him join me because this is a difficult time for him and he should know that I am there to take care of him. Also, I would like to get those little naps in between him crying and feeding throughout the night, so that I am charged to go back to work in the morning. But today is Friday night, I am going to try and send him back to his crib throughout the weekend and see if I can break the habit. Keeping my fingers crossed J
What are your reasons for sleepless nights?
Itching mostly,I think a bed bug bit me the night before last,but it's nothing like the hotel bed bug epedemic in Cincinnati,so caution if you ever have a sleep-over there.
ReplyDeleteYea,the little guy needs to be broken off this habit or he will come between you and your husband.Of course in my old country relatives sleep together and think nothing of it.
@Kiddy,
ReplyDeleteYeah, I guess bed bugs and itching will definitely keep anyone up at night. I do not have any near plans to go to Cincinnati, but will definitely keep it in mind.
You know strangely in my country as well, kids have always sleep with parents when they are young. But then again moms usually stay home for atleast a year or so (may be longer) before even thinking about going back to work.
Well,I would not recommend children sleeping with their parents as their romantic relationship is very important,you could say that children that way can come betweeen their partents.Also,I think mothers should try to stay home to take care of their children if at all posible.
ReplyDelete@evjemarkusson, I do agree with you to not let children sleep on the bed. He also got his 6 months shots today, and he is lot more fussy. So we may not be able to break this habit as soon as I would like. For now, I am going to let him join me in bed.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a personal choice for me to continue to work.
