Hi there
My little boy is 9 months old. Since he was six months we have had terrible problems with his sleep. He used to be:
6.30 bed
10.30 dream feed
1.30 am fed again when hubby came in from work.
Slept until 6.30 am
We thought we were onto a good thing.
Roll forward to 6 months old when he cut 2 teeth together, had a chest infection and jetlag. Sleep went tits up.
Multiple wakenings during the night. Very upset and tired baby and parents.
We tried pick up put down which worked a little but with multiple wakenings during the night meant very little sleep for parents. Controlled crying was just horrific and I won't go down that route again.
Totally knackered I brought him in beside us one night and he slept and I mean slept. All night. Dropped his night feeds and slept right through. Tried to let him get the hang of this over a couple of nights and transferred him back into his cot. He slept though in his cot for a few nights and does still ocassionally do this however, most nights he ends up back in with us.
He's no problem and only on some nights does he become restless with arms and legs everywhere.
My HV was horrified at this as are some relatives.
Are we really making this hard for ourselves? Will he grow out of co-sleeping?
