Hi all,
I have an 18months DS, we’ve co slept since birth as was the only way we ever got any sleep. He still wakes hourly overnight but this is probably because I feed him to sleep, we’ve tried all the books, even paid £500 for a sleep consultant and got nowhere with his sleep.
I’m starting to think that maybe it’s actually me disturbing him. He naps at nursery for 3 hours sometimes, whereas I can never get that kind of stretch at night. He sleeps in his own room, but we have a double bed and I sleep with him in there.. We never could get him in a cot!
I just wonder from all my fellow co sleeping mums, how did you stop it? I don’t want to traumatise him, I think I also need to break myself in to the idea of it as well.. but where do you even start? He never naps alone at home, I’ll sit with him. We’ve never spent a night apart. The only sleep he ever has without me is at nursery and seems to do just fine.. so I know he can do it. I also would like to spend a bit more time with DH and maybe try for number 2 soon.
Any tips would be amazing! Or even just how you did it?
Thank you :)
