My son has never been great at sleeping on his own. We've co-slept since birth except for a few months where he'd go into his cot asleep and stay there until early hours then back in my bed. After an illness we never got him back in the cot and he's in with me. He falls asleep on the sofa at 8pm (self-settles) then I take him up to bed with me at around 10:30. I'm ok with him sleeping on the sofa until I go up. What I'm not ok with is being kicked all night in between being whinged at and generally trampled. I really need to get him into his own bed and to stay in it for the majority of the night. The cot is gone so also need suggestions on the best thing to buy for him to sleep in. At this stage I'm considering controlled crying which totally goes against my parenting beliefs but I'm just so exhausted and my DH gets up at 5am for work so needs his sleep which means we're not even sleeping in the same room at the minute!
