Brayden's sleep habits and so fourth

From around the time that Brayden was two months old he was sleeping all the way through the night(usually 10:30-9:00 ish). I was blessed with a child who like his mommy loves to sleep. He would still nap plenty during the day and still get that full nights rest.

We did however have issues with where he slept when he was born. Before he was born it was decided that he would sleep in a bassinet in our room until he out grew it and we moved out of our apartment(which was a month later) well up until he was a few weeks old he refused to sleep in it, where ever it was. He would be asleep and then we went to put him in it and BAM 10 minutes later he was up. So usually he slept snuggled up in our arms while we sat in the recliner or laid on the couch.

Then mom came to help me out and we learned that he just did not like to lay flat. So, and I may or may not get flamed for this but oh well, he slept propped up all swaddled up on his Boppy pillow. He still wasn't in the bassinet but he had moved to our gigantic couch and he never moved when he slept anyways. So about a week or two after that we tried the Boppy in the bassinet and he finally slept in it. We moved it out to the living room because that was were I slept still at the time and Brad had gone back to work .

He slept in the bassinet until he was about 3 months old and since at that time we were living with Brad's mother he moved to sleeping in the Pack N Play. Up until a month ago, in our own house even, he slept there. It was when he learned to stand up that we decided that a crib was a MUST!

So he got his "big boy" bed.

He still sleeps through the night and to help lull him farther into sleep we use white noise(soft classical music in our case) . He is a belly sleeper and he won't really have it any other way, atleast at my house.

With Aslynn on the way we are trying to get the nerve to do the whole self-sleep thing. I'm a little tougher on him than Brad-he'll let him cry for maybe 15 minutes. Even if it is a dull nothing is wrong cry.

Saying that, yes, we still to this day snuggle with him until he falls asleep. Up until this week he has wanted to be rocked to sleep with his bottle. Well this week he decided that he was "too big" for that and he just wanted to snuggle, and maybe have a few slurps of a bottle.

I think with Aslynn we may try another route I'm not too entirely sure. I've got another month ;)
