Fed up with co-sleeping and night time booboo- aggggrrrrr!

[poshsinglemum]

Am exhausted. DD is two and finds her way inyto my bed at some point in the night. She then wants milk. Mostly I'm too tired to get up and put her back but I really need to do it esp as I am starting to date again.

Help, support and advice needed please.

I can offer support. I am starting to want out as well

Ditto. Dd is now 1 but I don't think I can stand another year of it. Don't want to nightcontrolled do controlled crying. There must be a better way!

Don't know what happened there. Even my phone is getting its mucking words fuddled .

I meant I am resisting night weaning and controlled crying as potential solutions.

dd is now 16mths and has been a terrible sleeper and an absolute boob monster. I have had enough, I don't want to wean her completely but I did decide that 10 plus feeds a day/night was too much for me. I do have the advantage that she is still in a cot so can't come into our bed. On Saturday I decided on the goal of 6 feeds only with the night ones being a maximum of 2 after settling for the night. I can tell you that she is not impressed but I have taken the route of cudding, rocking and soothing when she wakes so while she is screaming, she is not doing it alone and I am holding onto the fact that ultimately the status quo was not working for me and I had to make changes and while dd maynot like those changes it will be better for her if I am happy about our bfeeding relationship rather than resentful. I guess what I am saying is to establish what your goal is, set your mind and lovingly work your child towards that goal

Good advice yawning.. I think that is my issue, I have no will power to set goals and stick to them.
My DS is 12months now, we co-sleep and he wakes/feeds every 1-2hours, if I don't feed him or DH trys then he just screams and screams and screams until I give in I just can't bear the screaming.

We did jay gordon method with DS when he was about 17 months. there was a bit of screaming initially but not even half as much as what i expected... his sleeping improved dramatically after a week and meant we could continue co-sleeping and BFing during day - but both got a better nights sleep...
he now sleeps all night in his cot (used to always end up in our bed (20mo now)...
night weaning was not as hard as i thought it would be tbh.
