Total pride moment - DS fell asleep on his own in his crib

So far, the few attempts of putting DS in his crib have been rare and not so good each time. He just would cry and I am just not a believer in CIO (Me personally!!!).

DS has been falling asleep in our bed and I knew there would be a time he would be ready.

Tonight was the night.

DS loves our bed and the comfort of pillows. He feels "safe" falling asleep with either DH or I there with him. Then we transfer him. I have no bumper or blanket in his crib due to my fear of suffocation so his crib was not really appealing (completely bare!!!). At Daycare, he has a blanket and I gave them strict instructions on this.

So I decided to try it tonight. I let him use a blanket with him and his teddy bear. I was in his room in semi dark and started to fold clothes. He cuddled with his blanket and played with the small teddy bear. I stayed with him the whole time. And he fell asleep. I removed the blanket and teddy bear.

Sorry that was very long but I am so excited. Really! Now that was 1 night. Let's see what tomorrow brings and if I can do laundry every night.

We went through this a few weeks ago, with DD falling asleep on her own for naps in the crib. I was thrilled
