Just done CC....

[ICanTuckMyBoobsInMyPockets]

It's taken an hour but he's finally asleep.

He's been in my bed up to now and he's still fed during the night as he's still breastfed.

Do I feed him in the night now or not?

I can't do this two or three times in the night, the whole street will be awake.

You do what is best for you, my daughter is 2.5 and still comes into our bed in the night for a cuddle and a feed, it wouldn't work for many but it does for us

Well done OP - they'll let you know when they're ready to wean off. Keep enjoying the lovely baby time 😊

I am also on my last baby. He’s in with me! I’ll try to keep putting him in his cot as much as possible but cc is cruel. You can try gradual retreat as another option. I did that with my second child when she was 16 months and it worked. It does take time. They all sleep eventually. Best of luck

Ah that's nice OP. Enjoy the cuddles. DS isn't ready to wean yet despite approaching 2. I'm ready but not ready enough to push him. He woke up on cue at 3am to come in with me and is curled up across my belly. It's like having a nipple-tweaking cat. I kinda wish he'd sleep through but I'm enjoying these last few months.

I wrote a post last night but it didnt post

I agree with Namechange when she asked if you're happy with how things are at the moment. Ignore what anyone else thinks, if you are happy with how things are, then leave it until you feel you need to do something about it. Hopefully he will surprise you and start to self settle in that timeframe.

If, however, the sleep deprivation is getting to you and you want to continue with CC, please please be consistent from the moment you start it for all wake ups and all bedtimes. CC is perfectly fine if done for a limited time until baby learns to go to sleep but it is cruel to feed on some wake ups and not on others. This is because baby does not understand why they sometimes get fed/rocked/comforted to sleep and others are left alone so they will cry even harder and for longer when left in the hope you will go back and feed. This isn't fair on you or him.

I've just read your update before posting - so glad to see it, enjoy the cuddles! If you're happy, he's happy too so ignore what anyone says. If you do want to head towards independent sleep, Namechange's suggestions are perfect for gradually getting there with minimal tears for both of you

If you are both getting enough sleep and there's no need to do it yet then don't. My daughter was with me until she was 2.5 and we were both ready at that point. She went in her own room like she had always been there and we haven't had any issues (illnesses aside) with sleeping through
