Co-sleeping routibes

[Strawbry]

My DD is 10 weeks and we co sleep (not out of choice I might add). She's also now combination fed. She gets drowsy at 8pmish when we put her down in her cot. She might sleep for maybe an hour then when we wakes I bring her into my bed where she'll usually settle by 10. But she's started then waking every 2 hours for short feeds which she didn't used to (usually every 4). She'll then be so tired she won't want to wake until 9am and will want to nap by 10am! Just doesn't feel right and It's exhausting. Wondering if anyone else experienced this, if its down to a growth spurt and if anyone else had any good co sleeping routine advice to help improve it! X

Not sure about routines for 10wo babies. Mine is 21 weeks and she sleeps in a side cot - she generally only wakes once a night but the last couple of nights it's been every couple of hours then a looong nap from 9am onwards. I just reckon she needs it (lots of night feeds) and she'll get back to her normal wake pattern soon enough. Not very helpful advice I know! I find it more tiring to fight the night wakes tbh rather than going with the flow. Perhaps someone will come on with more practical advice.

This probably not very helpful at all, but I'm not sure the words routine and co-sleeping really go together, althoughI know she may have the same sleeping patterns regardless of where she is being put to sleep. I obviously don't know why you are co-sleeping but from your post it seems like it iant something you look on as ideal (as opposed to actively wanting to do it as some parents do).
Maybe a side-car on your bed would be a good step in getting her to sleep more independently and in turn helping her to have longer stretches of undisturbed sleep as I always sleep better by myself!
These are just thoughts and in no way are they a criticism, just looking at the bigger picture x

I don't understand If it is not your choice to co sleep - why do you?

Because she won't sleep anywhere but near me! It's been my last resort. She'll only sleep on her tummy elsewhere which I don't feel comfortable with. I annoy knocking co sleeping in the slightest but it means her dad has to sleep elsewhere and I never get enough sleep.

She will get used to sleeping elsewhere but it doesn't happen by magic. You have to persevere and put up with a few ( or more than just a few) disturbed nights. The longer you put it off the harder it is to change.

If the idea of that upsets you or you don't want to do that - then thats fine but you just have to accept co-sleeping.
