DD is 3 weeks and breastfed. She has never liked her crib at night and is very unsettled in it. I have been putting her in it about 11pm but by about 12 or 1 she is out of it and in bed with us (after a feed). She wakes about 3 times in the night for a feed and is very unsettled unless she sleeps next to me. Last night she slept all night next to me and was up at 3 and 6 only (don't know if this is a coincidence). I know the new guidelines state that babies under 8 weeks should not co sleep and also I worry that I am creating a rod for my own back in that she will only be able to sleep next to me. Has anyone else had the same worries or any experiences trying to get their baby to sleep in their own bed after cosleeping?
