Our two oldest kids, they still don't sleep good. At least 50% of the time I wake up to find at least one of them in our bed by midnight. I don't think either of them slept through the night until they were almost two.
So when we found out Mason was joining us, my first thought was "this one is going to sleep!". I did things differently with him--I put him in his bed sooner and I would lay him down before he was asleep so that he could learn to get there by himself. Around 3 or 4 months he was sleeping 7+ hours straight at night, and it was great.
Then around 5 months something happened....he started teething and waking up during the night, and I just brought him in our bed. He wouldn't even sleep well there...he'd wake up numerous times to eat and we would both be exhausted during the day (the only difference is he gets to nap, I don't).
Over the past few nights i've started a new bedtime routine with him and he's once again falling asleep on his own, in his bed. And last night something amazing happened--he slept all night long!!!
But not me. I woke up at least 6 times to check on him :(
