I live in rural Spain, so not much chance for mummy chats, so am relying on all you to tell me like it is - all opinions invited.
Disasterous pattern is as follows.
DS is 5 months. have generally always favoured feeding lying on bed and DS has generally co-slept since birth in our king size (but still feels tiny) bed.
He can currently have around four/five naps a day including one around 6/7 pm for an hour.
Then bathtime/sleepsuit and on bed for breast feed to sleep.
Generally I only leave him once he has "spat me out". Then he wakes after hour and a half ( he used to sleep for about 4/5 hours at this stage). I go in, he is crying, won't be stroked, soothed or go back to sleep any other way than a little suck again (barely eats a thing). Repeat this recipe through the night until 8 ish. Ouch.
but, I know, I know - at least he his back to sleep in 15-20 minutes each time.
Can't see how we can ever break this cycle though.DH reckons it's all down to teething - not so sure.
DS has bever gone to sleep on his own i.e always feed to sleep or in a car, pram, train etc etc. Will iot ever happen?
Way to scared to do CC...........
