Sleep Challenges Continue

This is the fifth night of Shawn putting Max to sleep. The first one was ok, nights 2 and 3 were great, and the last two have been, well, pretty bad. He's been in there with him for over an hour tonight and it sounds like he's just fighting sleep. We even gave him a little ibuprofen for his teething pain. It's such a huge transition for him to not nurse to sleep anymore. I hope it gets easier as I'll be on my own this weekend, and Shawn is rapidly tiring of spending 2+ hours of his evening sitting in the dark with Max. We've got a friend who will be arriving in the next hour to spend the night with here while he's in town on a quick business trip. I hope Max goes to sleep soon so Shawn can have some time to hang out with our friend. Other than the big sleep issues, the nursing less is going well. Here's to hoping little Max is feeling my sleepy vibes right now and will go off to the land of sleep soon.
