This is my second child bit he’s so completely different to the first I’m completely stuck as to what to do. He’s 13 months and sleeps in a cot next to my husband and I in the double bed. He’s 13 months, eats loads of food during the day, but still wakes up all night for breastmilk. I put him down at 7pm and he wakes up properly around 6.30am but he wants milk every two hours. My first had pretty much weaned himself at this age!
I’m at a loss for what to do. I worry he’ll wake his older brother so don’t want to let him cry. I’m considering bed sharing with him while my husband sleeps on the sofa (he actually suggested this) or going the other way and putting his cot in the office next door.
my concerns are whether he’s too young to wean if he’s really drinking that much at night, if he’ll fall out the bed if we co-sleep, and whether he’ll need to cosleep for ages as the sofa wouldn’t be a long term solution.
id really appreciate your experiences and thoughts on this!
