DD is nearly 22 months. We have co-slept since she was 6 months and mostly I didn't mind, quite liked it really. But she's very needy at night. Will only sleep right on top of me or cuddled up next to me. As well as this she has to stroke my skin. Fine, but that involves pinching (bloody hard sometimes!), pulling hair
and scratching. It's not deliberate, it's her comfort thing but obviously it's not good for me.
If I wriggle away she wakes up immediately and she will not entertain the idea of being put to bed not quite asleep or whatever. It's me or no sleep.
This child has never slept a single night in her own room, cot was in with us. Where the hell do I start to get her to sleep on her own? Yet again I had no sleep last night and I've had enough.
TIA
