To resent him

[R3b3kah]

And his useless man nipples

Been trying for the last hour and 20 minutes to get my 12 month old to sleep, trying to keep him in his cot and stop him crawling off the bed... then when he is feeding the other hand is pinching, twiddling and twisting

Feeling a little resentful of OH watching tele downstairs chilling... not a lot he can do when DS won’t fall asleep without boob

He does his fair share, I’m just feeling a little extra annoyed tonight...... aaaand my tea has gone cold

I feel you, they always say “I wish there was something I could do” which really doesn’t help! Such a difficult age with sleep too, learning all these new skills keeping their little brains active. When mine was 2 we started having Daddy putting him to bed, so I’m sure yours will play a part in future!

Remember these days and would never have done this at time, but the "now" me says a 12mth old dsnt need boob yo sleep so why can't DH relieve you at least got half an hour to eat and chill? Like I say, do as I say not as I did, which basically means ignore if you can't

Why don't you sit downstairs too, feeding your boy to sleep? He will probably go off to sleep naturally and then you can take him upstairs, asleep.

What kitkatsky says is fair enough, I don't remember anyone feeding a 12 month old in my day but I know times, and fashions in feeding, change.

I fed my son until 12 months, when he bit me so hard it still hurt a month later. I stopped that night and he slept much better afterwards.

I feel your pain. My train was delayed and DH decided to phone me up so bottle-refusing 12 month old DS could scream down the phone at me. Really helped

Good on you for breastfeeding, first of all.

But I agree with PP. you need to break the sleep association with breastfeeding or accept that this is how it is.

My husband is an amazing patter and shusher. My son will not fall asleep with me patting him (he holds out for breastfeeding as well!) but my husband pays for a minute tops before my son is out like a light. But that's a learned behaviour for the three of us. If you want to be downstairs chilling out, you need your DH to find his own way of getting the baby to sleep.
