Can anyone offer any tips, or solidarity?
My ds is two years and one month old. He is breastfed and feeds to sleep at bedtime. He coslept with us full time until he was around 18 months old. Then we moved him into his own bed but I still fed him to sleep at bedtime. For a while this worked ok as he would either sleep through, or at worst he would wake up once in the night, we would take him back into our bed, then he would quickly go back to sleep. He would also allow dp to put him to bed by cuddling him to sleep if I wasn't there.
Recently he has been a nightmare. He won't go to sleep without bf, meaning that I can't go out in the evening. If DP tries to put him down he screams and shouts. He shares his bedroom with our older DC so we can't leave him to cry, even if we wanted to. Then he usually wakes up in the early hours, we bring him into our bed, but he takes ages to go back to sleep, then has several more wake ups before morning. When he wakes up he wants to bf, but instead of going straight back to sleep he wriggles around grabbing at my face and hair. I've had enough.
Is the answer to night wean him? At the very least, dp could then deal with some of his wake ups. Or should I try cutting out his daytime nap first?
