We just got back from a beach vacation, which was not exactly vacation for me because, as we all know, vacationing with an infant is a lot of work. On the 10 hour (!) drive home, he was so fussy and only slept in 30 minute increments. Wouldn't nurse well. It was rough. We got home around 9pm, which is 2 hours past his bedtime, and I immediately got him ready for bed, nursed him, and put him down. He went down as normal, but woke up screaming an hour later (he never does this). Chalked it up to gas (he burped), put him back down, and he did the same thing 20 minutes later. We were all exhausted, so I just brought him to bed with us, and he slept pretty well the rest of the night.

Last night, he woke up several times to nurse. He nursed for so long that I fell asleep each time and didn't wake up for an hour or so. Tried moving him back to his crib (usually very easy), but he woke up 10 minutes later. After doing this a few times, I just let him stay in the bed with us (again). He slept well.

Today, he *just* went down for a nap. He woke up at 8am. I tried nursing him, rocking him, holding him, etc. All of which usually work to get him to go to sleep. No dice. Finally, I side-lie nursed him in our bed, and he was out in like 2 minutes.

He's been so grumpy the last two days, too. Not our normal, happy baby!

I've got an amber necklace in the post from Etsy, I don't want to give Tylenol, and frozen teethers only help a little (but they do seem to help a little).

Please tell me he will go back to sleeping in his crib after this tooth comes in! I don't mind the occasional co-bedding, but my husband doesn't sleep well with LO in the bed and I feel like it's better for all of us for him to sleep in his crib.

Also, how long will it be before I get my baby back?!
