well i'll skip on the wine due to it being 5:50am but well done! how did it go last night?
just wondered if or ds has a comfort toy or blanket? i bang on about this all the time on here but it can be a god send. my ds was a fab sleeper from day one but always needed to be fed to sleep. from 8 months to 12 months it all went horribly wrong (probably separation anxiety. i was having to stay with him with my hand on him all night if i was lucky, usually he'd be in my arms and cry every time i tried to put him down even in our bed, he just wanted to be laid on my chest with his head on my shoulder.
the only way i got him back in his cot sleeping through was by giving him a blanket that smelt of me, took him from about 10 months -12 months to get really attached to it. i gave it to him whenever i fed, cuddled, put him to sleep, in the car etc but sometime around his 1st birthday i put him in his cot awake with it, he rolled over, reached for it and went to sleep straight away.
he'd never gone to sleep without being fed or walked so it was amazing! he's 17 months now and still adores his blankie, always has it in bed, naps times etc.
ps doesn't have to be anything expensive, i actually used an old t shirt of mine through sheer exhaustion and desperation one night, just took off my top and gave it to him, didn't work straight away but stick with it!
