Would/could you fall asleep if your little one was still awake?
If LO is fussing/not asleep, I cannot fall asleep. The only exception to this is if DH is up with her. If he starts to go back to sleep and she's still awake, I'll wake up.

If she's safe and doesn't need anything, yes, I go to sleep. DD slept in our room (in a PnP) for the first seven months so if she was awake but not upset, DH and I would go back to sleep until she fussed. Now that she's 8.5 months old, she wakes up a couple of times during the night to have a play in her cot and we never get up with her. We can hear her talking and laughing on the monitor but we go right back to sleep.

Sometimes when after I nurse him in the morning and put him back in his crib I'll lay back down and have dozed off before he falls back asleep (I have the video monitor up). I try to keep my eyes open until he's out again but half the time I fall asleep before he does (but he's almost out, and if he doesn't fall asleep within a minute or two he'll cry and it'll wake me back). That's about it. And if he's crying, forget about it. Even if DH has him I can't sleep.

Yep! But she still sleeps in the RNP beside my bed. I'll usually rock/bounce her a bit after she eats, and then I put her down drowsy. It takes her a little bit to fall asleep, but these days I can fall asleep right away.
