Hello my 11month old has not always been the best sleeper but im loosing ideas on what to do to keep him in his own cot and sleep through he goes to bed at 8, has a little moan and play then drops off will stay asleep for a couple of hours then wakes up moaning or screaming I go in give him his dummy he will either drop back off or cry, an hour or two later he will be back awake again doing the same thing, im selfish I did bring him in the bed as every night this happens and its draining, I wouldn't mind if he slept a good 4 hours in the night 🙈😂 but 1 or 2 hours then wakes up it does hit you and with work early in the morning too, I've tried, putting a lullaby on, letting him cry it out.. he can cry for over and hour and still doesn't drop off, fed him up during the day so I know he isn't hungry, slept in his room so he knows im there, done the no speaking or eye contact routine, so please if anyone knows any other things i could try i would be so grateful.
Thank you x

What happens when you bring him into bed with you?

Could it be a scheduling issue? Undertired maybe? What are his naps like and what time does he get up in the morning?

He goes straight to sleep😂🙈 he has two short naps one in the morning and one in the afternoon I won't let him go to sleep after 4 x

Just put him in bed next to you. It won’t be forever.

tbh I have been but they get used to that then don't they, thats why I think he wakes up constantly cause he is wondering why I'm not bringing him in the bed 🙈x

The decision you have to make is how long would you be prepared to co sleep for? If you are happy doing that for the next 2 or 3 years then no problem. If you really would like him to sleep in his own room then you have to crack this. As you say he may well be waking because he’s used to being fetched into bed with mummy when he wakes. So it becomes a vicious circle.
I’m not against co sleeping at all - I say do what you are happy with. But as I said ask yourself how long you want to do it for.

Totally agree with you, like I dont 2ant him in the bed for years and I definatly think he is waking to come in the bed its mad because he goes to sleep fine on his own x
