We are still trying to find a sleep groove that works for us. Our awesomeness with the first obviously didn't carry over to the second, because we can't seem to figure out the sleep thing with this one to save our lives.
Our friends have a little boy that's just older then Hudson and he too was still waking in the night and would reach for his mom's hair. So one night out of desperation for a full nights sleep she put a doll in the crib with her baby so he could grab the dolls hair. It worked, and he was sleeping through the night. Every night after she told me that I kept thinking "Man, I wish we owned a doll!" But, with 2 boys we don't really have dolls around here.
The third night after she told me about their doll solution I was just about to my whits ends and I remembered that I had a cabbage patch type doll that my mom had made for me when I was a kid that I had in the basement. It didn't have the corn silk hair so I wasn't sure if he would take it as a substitute but I had to try SOMETHING. So I ran down to the basement and grabbed the boy doll (because that's a little better then him sleeping with a girl doll...right?) and put it in bed with him. At first he wasn't fooled. But once he was asleep he didn't mind having a doll hand on him instead of mine.
