Grateful for any advice!
I'm a single mum, ex keeps mentioning wanting overnight with 2yo. I know that currently it would be too stressful for DC but it's something to work towards. What plan would you put in place based on current routine, and what timescale??
Current bedtime
7pm Upstairs for bath
7.30 Run round naked jumping on bed
7.45 Lie down for story/chat (we Co sleep despite him having bed he's never slept in it, I've not pushed it cos dunno how plus breastfeeding)
- Boobs available throughout all of this for breastfeeding
8pm- lights off, lay beside him until he's asleep, sneak out.
- I usually fall asleep on sofa
12.00 - DC calls for me so I go up to bed, bit of booby, sleep
6.00 onwards - boobs/doze on and off till around half 7.
I quite like our routine - apart from the midnight summoning but I worry if I sleep in bed from the get-go he'll wake and want boob. Just conscious it's very based on me being there to reassure him and I hate the idea of him feeling lost and calling for me (sees dad fortnightly weekends).
