In order to try and function I really need to off load a little.
My DD is 7mo and sleep has been a real problem for us over the last three months. She has a good bedtime routine, she generally SS to sleep with a dummy but she BF 3 times a night and wants to sleep next to me.
I love her with all my heart and the fact that she sleeps better with me by her side makes perfect sense. Part of me wants to say fine 'we'll get a bigger bed, lets co sleep' but I am worried where this will end. Last night after I put her to bed she started crying for me. She go so upset even with her lovely daddy cuddling her but I couldn't go to her again. We are always together and I just felt my heart harden.
I feel guilty I've let her cry when I could have prevented it. I feel confused about my parenting style. I've tried to follow an attachment style but feel totally torn at the moment.
