Ds has slept in his cot in his room alone since 10 weeks old but has suddenly started waking in the night wanting to coe to my bed. He's never been a good sleeper waking between 2-5 times a night so i've quite often brought him into my bed on a very bad night, he never bothered about coming in before it to make it easier for me he doesn't sleep much better in my bed tbh still wakes a lot but it's quicker to settle him.

Now he's started to wake at some point and will settle in mins in my arms as soon as i put him down he's awake shouting mum mum mum until i come for him after over an hour of re settling then shouting for me the last few nights i've gave in and took him in with me. I am just to tired to fight with him any longer than that.

Does anyone have any ideas to get him in his own bed or am i stuck with co sleeping half the night? I'm not keen on co sleeping but i have to admit it's easier to bring him in. I've tried CC butit just does not work for us he just gets upset to the point he's screaming and sobbing for hours.

Think you need to decide whether you want him in your bed or not and then be consistant. It's no good bringing him in sometimes and then expecting him to stay in his room at others, that is just confusing for him.
