I'm sitting here with the hairdryer on (it's probably about to explode actually) in a futile attempt to get my DS to sleep. He is almost 6 months old. Admittedly he doesn't have much routine as our household is a little... spontaneous, with dogs requiring walking at funny times due to behavioural issues (a whole 'nother thread for a whole 'nother section) and my DP working erratic hours. He still co sleeps although I'd rather give this up as I'm not getting any sleep, but side-carring the cot to the bed hasn't even helped - he wakes up as soon as he realises he's not RIGHT next to me. Still breastfeeds through the night, how often depends on how hungry he is, although I suspect it is mostly for comfort. Won't take dummy or bottle. Has to be fed to sleep every night. I am losing the will to live slightly as DP and I never have any time to ourselves!
