Help! returning to study after having a year out after the birth of my son!

[Katiekins83]

My ds (10 months) still not sleeping through and most of the time wants to be in the bed with me! anm a single parent too so no partner to take some of the strain!!!! any tips for sleeping?

Thanx for that will remember that nearer the time! does you dd still co-sleep? and how was she at going to bed? my ds likes to sleep where i am! and am worried about what will happen when i have assignments to do... really need him to sleep!!!

Oh god mine doesn't sleep well yet either! Dreading the return to uni. Assignments do happen though, not exactly sure how but they do. I didn't stop when I had ds, was back in lectures 10 days later and somehow managed to muddle through. Good luck with it all.

I returned to uni when my son was 8 months as a single parent. His sleeping wasn't great so I did controlled crying and within a few days he was sleeping 8 p.m. to 7 a.m.

how did you manage with the controlled crying thing?
i feel so cruel! have tryed a few times and he seems to get worse...and even after hours nothing seems to happen! any tips? he is getting so big now and although he sleeps i cant because he fidgets! And to add to it i have just had to take on part time work as i cant manage financially on what i am given in student loan!
