clingy ebf baby 8 months in adult bed?

[fl0b0t]

Long story short:
8 month old is efb bottle refuser. Always been a bad sleeper but after 4 month regression never got better and has recentlybeen worse. Will go down initially for a couple of hours but wakes inconsolable. Have tried not feeding but all he wants is boob.once fed he will not go back down in cot. Literally impossible to put him down-he wakes screaming in seconds. . If I go to the spare room I can put him down next to me and he's asleep in seconds.
Is it safe to leave him there and go back in to my room? There's no monitor but we could hear if he woke from our room. The mattress is not a big squishy one. He is not yet rolling.

Need sleep. ....

I sort of do this but after moving to the spare room I stay there with him. I personally wouldn't be happy to leave mine rolling or not. You should be able to share a bed without being cramped in a double bed.

Is cosleeping not an option?

Exactly same situation as you but I put my dd in my bed (her cot is still next to our bed) as baby monitor is in our room. Then I leave her for probably an hour (hear her on monitor anyway) and then I go to bed, in the same bed as her. DH in spare room! Then she wakes every 2-3 hrs. It won't be forever, I hope...

cake my boy used to wake every three hours. .. Been more like 69-90 minds the last few months.

Josephine Co sleeping is an option and is what we do most the time but not through choice. I find it reasonably uncomfortable and I worry he is dependent on it so I worry about going out and leaving him with his daddy (which is what Happened last night) or a babysitter.

cadidog that's what we are currently doing but it would be nice to have a cuddle from my husband and fall asleep with him :-/

This is me 14 months ago. I just co slept for my sanity. He's now 20 months and will go to sleep without me in the room and stays in his bed all night. It will end at some point :-)

Hehe Thanks mother when and how did things change for you? my little one's sleep or lack of seems not to be linked to anything!

I manage to stay in my own bed with DH until first wake up. DS sleeps until 5am so I get to spend most of the night in my own bed, it sounds look your little one wakes a lot more than that so my sympathies. It really won't be forever.

Just bumping this in case anyone had any wisdom? I'm so sick of talking about it with everyone but I just have no idea what to do to fix it. Short of refusing booby at night and enduring screaming or some kind of cio (which I'm not prepared to try) I Just don't know what to do. I don't get an evening of any kind, get no time or space to myself and am feeling very claustrophobic about it all.
We've been Co sleeping for about 4 weeks now and the first stretch of sleep is anything from 10mins to 3 hours but usually around the 90 min Mark.
