6mo DS sleeps best at night in his stroller (the infant system type, not umbrella), which because of the layout of our apartment, has to be in a different room than our bedroom. He used to be really colicky and this was the only way we could get him to sleep, but his colic is all but gone and now that he's rolling over all the time I'm afraid he will flip out of it during the night, even if he's strapped in. I want to transition him to the crib, even if it means a little CIO, but DH disagrees and says DS is safe strapped in stroller and we should just leave him be if that's how he sleeps best. I'm also afraid he will just get used to sleeping in stroller at night and won't ever sleep in crib unless we do it now. DH thinks I'm being ridiculous and that there's absolutely nothing wrong with sleeping in stroller, we can transition him to crib later. Big argument over it, he made me feel like an idiot. Thoughts?

    • DD slept in her car seat most nights until 3 or 4 months, but I felt guilty about it. You could try transitioning and give him a nice swaddle so he feels the security of being strapped in.
