She had been sleeping in a bassinet in our room (she was so tiny!!), but when I returned to work, she would wake and stay up for hours... unless she was in our bed, with her tiny little body completely up against mine. If I moved, she'd wake up screaming because she thought I was leaving her. Whenever something traumatic happens or she's experiencing any attachment issues, they manifest in sleep issues, and she'll be in bed with us from anywhere from one night to a month or two. It can be really hard, but babies/toddlers process grief and trauma in their dreams so I think she just needs to know I'm right there and not leaving her. I'm sure it is hard with Yoni, too, but I think you're doing the right things for him. Feel free to email me if you want to talk!JonesEthiopiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09698883232091364295noreply@blogger.com
