Ya - if he is not 'disrupting' anyone with his routine - I would likely leave him where he is then...my too I had to think outside the box with were so loud they woke up the dead ... the most recent would get so worked up so fast that between when I heard him cry out in the monitor and the 30 seconds it took to get up the stairs he would be hysterical and have puked from his effort - 0 to puking in 30 seconds it was nasty .... and I tried to make it work in the crib for over a week but it was just well stressing me out and him out and well not worth the aggravation - so tried the sleeping in the livingroom where I am so I could at least get some work done and a 'break' while he rested and he ended up sleeping awesome.
