He just wants to know that someone is there. And yet, while we would be open to a family bed arrangement, when we've tried it, it's done nothing but rile him up. Then he gets up the middle of the night and wants to play. @Mrs. Bee — I thought that too but while my son prefers me in the middle of the night, he’s quite happy holding my husband’s hand as well.

My son is 11 months old and we've only slept six hours in a row twice that entire time. I managed to night wean but now he wakes up at between 2-4 and cries for me to hold him. I end up sleeping on the floor next to his crib, holding his hand through the bars. How in the world do you get babies to sleep longer without making them cry it out? (And I guess if I knew the answer to that question, I would be a very rich woman) This is a great post- but any suggestions on what to do in the middle of the night?

I'm pretty short and can't logistically figure out how to do so without a "free-fall" moment . ;-) This may sound dumb, but how do you ladies lay the baby down on their tummy?
