18 month old in my bed

Please help !!!!!

So I've got myself into a huge mess of brining my ds into the bed, he now won't even go for naps in his cot. He's never been a great sleeper so I think I've just been going for he easy option of bringing him into my bed because I'm so bloody tired after 18 months of no sleep..

You could transition him to his own bed - it's about that time. If you got him a really cool bed with exciting -looking bedding for it, I'm guess that maybe "his big boy bed" might seem more attractive to him than yours. It's worth a try anyway. Good luck.

Put him in a single or a mattress on the floor. Get in with him if he needs you and then escape.

Neither of my two slept in a cot and we learnt with the first that they might need the comfort of cosleeping but it didn't have to be in our bed. It starts to break to association and if you're lucky, he may start sleeping through a bit more.

Transitioning him into a proper bed didn't even cross my mind.. with my dd we waiting until she was 2.5. Definitely worth thinking about. He'll get up to all sorts though the night though I can imagine!
