DD in her own room - need reassurance

[MmeButterfly]

Hi all,
Please reassure me I've been bedsharing on and off with bf 6 month old dd but since she's started eating solids during the day she is sleeping better on her own in her cot. But, lastnight we had a return to the 2.30am party til 5am and i felt really defeated. I just don't think i can do this anymore.
DH and i spoke about trying her in her own room this weekend which today felt like a good idea. I guess i have all sorts of doubts about it now though. On one hand, i need sleep and some privacy would be great for me and dh. I know there's no guarantee she will sleep better but its worth a try?
On the other hand, i feel guilty (seems silly), and i might miss her. I feel like i'm being too attached!!
Overall, i do want to give it a go and if it works well, the whole family's well being will improve. I could really do with some reassurance from others who might have dealt with this or who have any advice.

Oh oh it all went a bit pear shaped tonight - DD nearly has first tooth through - i can see the gum kind of opening. She cried on and off for about 45 mins. I threw CC out of the window (rightly so i think) and picked her up, and stroked her face til she went to sleep after giving her calpol and anbesol. Bless her heart.

Aw, I feel so sorry for them when they're teething. I think you were definitely right to give up on the cc, she needed you tonight, poor thing. To answer your question, I never really did cc, nor did I really have to think about it much tbh as I was very lucky to have a baby that was happy with a kiss night night and then just leave the room. She had and still has her dummy and teddy though.

The nearest I did to cc was not taking her out of the cot on the few occasions when she wouldn't settle, but sitting at the door in her room staring at the wall saying "time to sleep, time for bed" a lot until she lay down and drifted off. Or taking my quilt in to her room, lying on the floor beside her and pretending to be asleep myself Could never bring myself to leave her crying in her room alone and going in every few minutes made her so much more upset as it was like I was cruelly abandoning her all over again each time!

It sounds like you have a baby who settles quite easily! I tried a similar approach with my dd at about four months but she couldn't settle herself. I'm such a softy too and cc was something I said I'd never do - funny how things change when you're sleep deprived though! It is working now though so I'm encouraged. Still waiting for that tooth though. It hasn't made it yet ....
