Ever since LO was born I was asked how she slept on her own etc. She slept on me for a couple of months. Quite draining but equally previous and beautiful. I received a LOT of concerned comments. And not incase I suffocated my child. Just because I'd be making a rod for my own back. It was the only way she slept and once she hit 3m she grew out of it on her own accord.
I then rocked her to sleep for a couple a months and now I lay with her until she nods off (almost 1yr old). One because she'll scream blue murder otherwise and I'm too tired for that but two because I love it. She also sleeps a lot better in bed with us so we co-sleep. At first I kept telling myself "I'll get her into her cot soon.. I'll help train her to sleep on her own..." and after all this beating myself up and looking for tips online I have accepted that as a family we love laying together until she nods off and we love sharing a bed. It won't be forever so I'm going to ENJOY it!
Anyone else out there love helping there baby to sleep and/or enjoy co-sleeping?
I feel like it's frowned upon by many but perhaps that's just the mums I know!
