I am on a quest

I am on a quest to help Frank sleep in his crib for longer then 20 minutes. It seems that without some sort of motion he can't make it through his sleep cycles. He is fine when he sleeps with me in "the family bed", also known as "co-sleeping" but in the crib on his own is an entirely different matter.

I have read "Nighttime Parenting" and "The No-Cry Sleep Solution" so far. I am trying to implement the suggestions as we speak. I'll let you know if things get any better.

It's not that I don't like sleeping all together. In fact, D and I both really like it. There is nothing like waking up to a smiling baby playing with your nose and saying "muh muh". Nevertheless, I would like to be able to have the bed for just the two of us once and awhile (wink wink nudge nudge).
As well, baby-sitters will have a hell of a time with the little guy if we don't get this figured out.
