We co-sleep for half the night, this works quite well for us as DS starts off the night in his own room and bed and then we bring him in with us at around 3am when night wakings become more frequent. When co-sleeping he’ll sleep for six hours straight. With maybe one feed that doesn’t really wake me up.
I’ve been really achey after my booster, it was only yesterday so imagine I’ll be back to normal by tonight. But it made me think what do you do when you’re ill?
I really needed my sleep and not co-sleeping would see DS waking up close to every hour in the second half of the night. But I’m unsure of the safety of it.
DS is 6 months old and big for his age so is fairly robust I don’t think I’d roll on him. Atleast if I got close to I think he’d definitely tell me about it.
He is normally breastfed to sleep so whilst DH can help by bringing him too me, it would be very difficult for him to take over the night wakings completely.
