Backstory: my daughter is eight weeks old, and we have basically been co-sleeping since day three. I decided early on that I would do whatever it took to get some sleep, and she wouldn't sleep in her Moses basket anyway. She's slept in her crib at night maybe three nights this entire time, and getting her to nap in her crib is like pulling teeth. She also only naps for 40 minutes at a time unless we are in the car, then I can get 2-3 hours. I don't have the car usually because we only have one. Her bedtime is 10:00, but she fights until 11:30 or midnight. I've tried putting her to bed earlier, but it doesn't work. I read about your babies sleeping at 7:30 and wonder when it will happen for us.

I'm going back to work in three weeks. I'm tired of co-sleeping and honestly would like to have sex again at some point soon. Please tell me this gets better! I'm so tired now, I can't imagine having to function at work on this schedule. I feel so guilty counting the days until her naps are someone else's problem. I also feel guilty for both co sleeping and for wanting her out of our bed. And please tell me your stories and advice on crib training. CIO is not an option, I can't bear to hear her cry.
