17 week old won't even co-sleep!

[Ouchdownthere]

Oh my, need to rant in exasperation. 17 week old's sleep just deteriorating beyond belief.

Decided to co-sleep, enjoy the cuddles and let us all get some sleep. But he's even resisting that, how can this be? It's my arms or nothing, aaaah, I thought co-sleeping was the answer to getting some sleep. The cheeky monkey has me wrapped around his little finger and dancing to his merry tune but I just need to sleep.

Has anyone else experienced a co-sleep refuser? I really don't want to leave him to cry to break these bad habits but am concerned that my lack of sleep crossness isn't good for any of us and it's only going to get worse if I don't get more than half an hour sleep at a time.

Cor, am going to go and eat to comfort myself!

Here we go again eh fellow night dwellers.

I'm here, 18 week (almost 19 week dd) doing similar. Think it's the 4 month sleep regression/growth spurt. I also wonder wether she's just needing me close and feeling insecure. shes got to be physically touching me. I am shattered.

I didn't think the 4 month sleep regression would apply to us, stupidly thought it couldn't get any worse! Agree with it being a growth spurt, he's not stopped feeding for the last two days, the tiredness becomes a killer though doesn't it
.

Just need a wee break to get a little bit of juice back in the pot.

Hi there! My 4 month old thinks that after the 3 am feed he will not sleep in his cot and will only be held! He's always been a bad sleeper and u didn't think things could get worse buy they have! I am convinced he is having a growth sport and teething but why after 3 ie he refusing his cot? I think exhaustion is going to run me down and I don't know what I am doing wrong other than rocking and cuddling after hid last feed. Will.it.ever get better?

Sorry to be sharing these tough nights with you mama and shay.

It will pass, knowing that is what gets me through. They are still so little but I do think it must be their habit now as well. But what do I know, I'll just keep trying to get him to sleep anywhere but on me.

Think we are just going to have to somehow gently train him into knowing and loving his cot. He adores his pram and always falls asleep after his bedtime routine so I suspect if I consistently stick to keeping him in cot he might grow to love it there too.

Hope your nights got better. Managed to diets et DS settled in bed with us at 1.30 and with only 2 wakings he's up again now. The irony is not lost on me that he is now happily kicking about in his cot! I need him to realise its for sleeping in not just playing in.

Diets et*.

Knew I should have previewed

Ugh I feel sick with tiredness. It will pass, it did with ds1&2 so logic says same for dd. I feed laying down which lets me snooze too. She woke up singing this morning
