Hey moms! My 6 month old and I have started co sleeping very recently. He used to sleep very well in his crib until he got sick for the first time, on top of teething, just last week (if you have advice for getting him back in the crib too, I’d love to hear it🥹).
Right now, he prefers to sleep with me and my partner. However, some nights he’ll squirm, move his head aggressively, and kind of fuss/cry when sleeping with me. It seems like he’s in between waking and sleeping. It can take him about an hour or so to settle and go back to sleep but this will happen between 1-3 times throughout the night. What has helped is switching positions, nursing him, or just giving him time. Is this normal behavior? Do babies sleep throughout the night when cosleeping? I’m so tired and new to this, so I would love some advice! Thanks so much!!

Sounds like a sleep regression and possibly due to change in sleeping conditions plus everything he just went through. I've been co sleeping since my girl was very little and sadly she has always been a pretty light and fussy sleeper. So I have no advice other than if you want them in the crib again find a way to get him back in there sooner rather than later!
