My DS was born at 36 weeks weighing 4 lbs (IUGR) he refused to sleep anywhere but on me or DH. When he was 4 weeks old I discovered and purchased a Sleepyhead, he started sleeping happily in it in his cot.
Now he’s nearly 7 months old and 17 lbs he has almost grown out of the Sleepyhead. All attempts to get him to sleep without it have resulted in him lying in his cot and startling himself awake, tears and an overtired baby. If he does manage to sleep we have repeated wakings (in it he only wakes once at night, for milk)
I could buy the next size up, but money is tight as I’m still on mat leave and I feel like if I did that we would be in the same situation in a few months anyway.
Anyone have any ideas on how I can wean him off his Sleepyhead?
