co sleeping but dont wana be a slave!

[becknnico]

Co sleeping for the second half of the night and during ( unfortunately) naps entirely. Every time he adjusts he is needing me. it is very frustrating and I am trying to be with him as I should for the most part but do not want him to get use to me being at his small unnecessary call!!

Well Jajas,nothin like reinforcing the blow! that sounds great....Got any hints? Yes, its not the greatest, especially daytime

How old? Just go with the flow - I co slept with all of mine and the older two were excellent at going to own rooms/beds, and settled without breast to sleep more often from about 3m+. I feed to sleep in bed (unless baby falls asleep on my lap) roll away and then can have a bath etc. and dont have to move/wake DS. I definatly find co-sleeping etc. has the opposite effect people seem to think it has - sometimes DH lays on the bed with DS (3m) while I am busy quickly, and he drifts off because he is content and knows if he needs/wants milk/cuddle, he gets it.

oh no worries jajas ! lemonade- almost 7 months. that is actually exactly what I do too, but the problem is nap time mainly. When I roll away to try to get some things done around the house or just take some time to myself, he will only sleep for 20 more min. As opposed to him sleeping for a couple hours with me. The result is a less rested babe. Frustrated.

forget the housework, get a nap too, or take laptop/book to bed :)

I do most of the time. There are days when I get annoyed having to lay down every few hours for 2, but guess I should be grateful eh! Suppose lot of people would be envious of my R&R and truth is I probably need it anyway.
