It?s been ages since my last post but my excuse is that we had a fire in the house here in Spain and everything has been super chaotic. Fortunately we were in England at the time and it was caught before the whole place burnt down. It?s taking forever to get up and running again and trying to clean everything up is an unforgiving task.
Mixed in with this are my attempts to stop bf the boy (now 13 months) and to get him to sleep at night not bf and not in bed.
My new conclusion (practically a new one everyday) is that actually he doesn?t need to be bf to go to sleep (as I had thought) but needs the closeness that he has got used to by lying next to me being bf to sleep and during the night. At the moment, mad as it sounds, I am sitting in the cot-bed with him (!!) and he is falling to sleep on my lap or next to me some other way (after at least an hour).
So, my question is, has anyone else had this experience? Does anyone have any thoughts as to how to keep the gentle removal process going.
I am definitely not up for CC, I have the Pantley book, he still repeatedly wakes during the night ? at which stage I am still bf back to sleep (last night in the cot again!).
