So, I've created a monster...that is if a snuggle bug is a monster. Our little miracle sleep solution is that Amelia loves to sleep with my arm around her where she uses my arm as a pillow. We can snuggle close, but the good thing is that I can't roll over on her because my arm is under her. It's so sweet and she loves it and I love it. In fact last night she slept like that all night. I had to wake her to feed her and in total we got more than 8 hours of sleep. Yes, I'm quite aware that I can't sleep like that forever, but it works and I'm feeling pretty good with a full nights sleep.
We are trying to figure out what our strategy for sleeping will be. We've been told to not worry about it for the 1st 4-8 weeks or so. Well, we are already in the 5th week, so we need to think about how we are going to work to transition her to her crib or whatever it is we decide to do. If you have any ideas or things that worked for you....please let us know.

Oh gosh! It's really been 5 weeks already? You'll definitely be feeling a lot better now (or very soon). That's when things started to click and it became a little less confusing and that much more enjoyable. Perhaps it was the extra sleep? haha
So glad she's sleeping well for you guys. We tried putting Serif down for naps in his crib around 4 weeks and he took to it like a charm. Once we knew he'd sleep in there we started it at night as well. We ALL slept better! Give it a whirl and see what works for you guys.
So glad you're doing so well! I love the snuggling!
The Miracle Blanket! www.miracleblanket.com I think the sooner you get them sleeping by themselves the easier it is. Although it is hard to resist a good snuggle now and then :)
She's precious.
