So my baby (just turned 1) does not sleep well. He likes to sleep in bed with us and he likes to have milk (from me) several times. We have been trying over the past couple of weeks to be more proactive, letting him cry himself to sleep in his cot which is reight next to our bed still (DH stays in room with him til he sleeps). However when he has woken up a couple of times in the night we tend to give up and bring him into bed (anything for some sleep).
It is our wedding anniversary on Sat and my sister wants us to leave baby with her so we can have night away. I am nervous about this as he has never gone this long without milk before and have never left him over night. Also think this may be harder work for my sis than she realises! Am I being stupid or is it really cruel to leave him? I know this is a bit OTT but worried about traumatising him?
PLEASE HELP!
