Co-sleeping advice needed urgently please..

[mammainlove]

DD is 21m.o. We love co-sleeping+cuddling to sleep, although I'm starting to panic as this is the only way (besides car+buggy) she will go to sleep. I also want to co-sleep with baby+b.f. so obviously there needs to be change, I.e. DP get her to sleep. I think we may have left it too late to gradually get her used to going to sleep alone,+i would never, ever use CC as a method.

I would like some advice on;

1. For DP to start getting her to sleep (when tried before she usually cries+screams for me so much that I have to give in), should he do the whole bedtime routine (bath,books etc), and do this for a few consecutive nights? Or 1 night to begin? Will she get used to him there instead of me? (i'm so terrified of her crying,screaming so much!)

2. Is it possible to co-sleep with 2 children? She usually sleeps on a single mattress next to our double mattress on the floor, only stirring once in the night if she does, then she climbs into our bed.

Ideally we would have her in her own room, but this has been delayed for reasons too long to explain. I think it might be too late to get her to sleep in a different room..the thought also makes me sad as I'm so used being very close to her all night..

Any thoughts or suggestions very much appreciated x

Don't panic! Its never 'too late' to do anything.

I found it was easier to change sleeping habits once little ones were able to talk and understand what you wanted from them. The older they are the more exciting a bedroom of their own will be, they can choose decoration etc.

Of course its possible to co-sleep with 2 children, people have been doing it all over the world for a very,very long time. But its what you feel comfortable with that matters most. CAN you sleep well with 2 little ones? Try it and see I would suggest....and make sure eldest has her own special nice quiet bedroom with no noisy baby in if she decides that your bed just got too busy for her

Ok thank u. U are very positive, that's nice x
