17 month old in our bed

[WasitacatisaW]

DS used to sleep in his next to me. 8 month sleep regression hit hard and I just wanted to sleep / BF easily so we put him in our bed. Hubby and I take it in turns to sleep with him whilst one of us is in the spare room on a not so comfy bed. We really want to get him to sleep in his cot. So far it's been a non starter. Just tried to put him in his cot for a PM nap and he was screaming. Any tips or advice please?

TIA

No advice really but solidarity here, having the same issue with our 9 month old. Only we don’t have a spare room so all squish into our bed….

It's so hard.

My LO also wakes twice a night for milk which doesn't help.

Can you try weaning the night feeds? They shouldn’t need night feeds by 17m.

I think that the only way it worked for us was DD in her own room. Night weaned by sending in DH.
Slept through in her own cot within 3 days. Much complaining on the first night but gave in much faster than I was expecting!

In an ideal world this is true. It when you're shattered and in the midst of it, it's easier to give the feed in the night than deal with weaning them off. Be kind

Imo dh needs to resettle in the cot in ds's room. Ds slept through on the third night at 9 months sending boobless dh in!

you break the cycle through consistent change- appreciate it’s hard when you just want to sleep but nothing will change easily. Sleep train, not cry it out before everyone jumps on me.
Personally id tackle the cot and then the milk- give a feed and straight back in the cot.
