Just my opinion, but my two went straight into their cribs (I ebf) and both became excellent sleepers. If your bedroom is so far (and really, I have a big house, but I can hear the baby crying from wherever I am), just use the monitor. [ Reply | More

did he admit to you and it's over or did you find out independently? that would make a huge difference. plus 2.5 years is a very long time for this to be going on. sound more than just an extramarital affair. i'm so sorry you have to go through this. [ Reply | More

Yes - how you found out would have a big impact on the decisions if it were me. That being said...2.5 years does seem like a little more than something that could be easily forgiven. Is he begging for forgiveness? [ Reply | More

I thought she might have been sick but shows no signs. This sleeping change has coincided with her learning to roll - which means extra exercise and also sleeping on her stomach.
