This is my first post on mumsnet and I think it may be a bit of a rambling one! I have an 8 week old DS who has - so far - not been a great sleeper. To help we have been co sleeping (safely!) from pretty much the beginning. Wasn't what we'd planned but it seemed the best way to cope with frequent feeds in the night. However, now, he is still waking every 2 hours (at least) for a feed and I wonder if co-sleeping is contributing to this, as he is right next to the breast throughout the night! I'm not sure how to stop co-sleeping as he still feeds for ages during one feed and then he is very hard to get to settle in his moses basket. We do swaddle him but it doesn't seem to make much difference. Added to this, I find it really hard to get him to nap in the day so if it was a tough night then there is no chance of respite in the day! Does anyone have any stories about how they stopped co-sleeping and when? Do you think co-sleeping is encouraging him to feed more at night than if he slept seperately, or is that just him.
