Hi all
My son is now 16 weeks old and has had an established bedtime routine of bath, boob and bed (he is still in his Moses basket in our room) for over two months now. We don't have any trouble getting him to settle for sleep, which is great and will hopefully stay that way. For a while now he typically sleeps from 9pm and wakes at around 2 or 3 am to feed. I can generally get him to settle back in his basket (he often falls asleep on the boob and I transfer him to the basket) but he will wake, unsettled an hour or so later and will then only go back to sleep in my bed. Then he sleeps soundly until some time between 6 and 9am. We really struggle to get him to spend the whole night in his basket, it doesn't seem to make much difference if he goes back in awake or asleep after a night feed. He just seems to want to be close to me, which is lovely but I feel it is becoming a bit of a habit and I'm concerned we may have problems later when he goes in his own room.
Does anyone has any advice on how to get him to settle back down after his night feed, rather than continuing to have him co sleep for part of the night ?
Thanks :)
