Probably in a week or two. I know that seems like forever, but once it happens you will be grateful for the sleep you're getting. Do you think he's big enough to sleep on his tummy? That really helped Lexi to feel more secure, and she sleeps a lot better on her tummy. It will get easier. Probably in a week or two.

My baby (19 months) sleeps in his crib, but his sister (4 years) sleeps with us. She slept in her bed until she was 2.5 but began coming to our bed in the middle of night. Instead of risking her waking the baby we just let her sleep with us. It's going to be a hard habit to break! Good luck! Hope you get some sleep tonight!

We're making sure we don't ever let him cry it out--but are trying not to pick him up from his crib every time he wakes up crying (unless he needs to nurse). We put our hands on him and quietly talk to him so he knows we're there... a couple times of putting the paci back in his mouth and he usually falls back asleep. It's the waking up so often that we need to fix. And actually... at least an hour ago I finally swaddled him because he kept waking up... and he hasn't been up since!! (KNOCK ON WOOD!) :) Thanks for the suggestion - we may check out that book next. And a yoga mat would probably help, haha.

Have you read the No Cry Sleep Solution? I have heard lots of good things about the book. Maybe there are some ideas about how to make this easier?
