Co-sleeping toddler

Hi all. We have co-slept with our two-year-old most of his life, but it causes some huge sleep deprivation for us both.

He often breastfeeds a lot during the night and doesn’t sleep through at all. He is well fed in the day and isn’t hungry, just more of a comfort thing. He will only properly settle if he is on the boob - and even that doesn’t work all the time.

He has been waking a lot more recently for no apparent reason. He has cut down on his naps in recent weeks to the point where he goes through the whole day without one, crashing in bed at 7:30/8.

We don’t know whether getting him his own bed will be the answer? Obviously not at first as it’ll take time to get used to etc, but any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

If he's waking a lot now i think he's probably trying to tell you that the current set up isnt working for him. I'd make a big deal of picking a lovely new big boy bed, setting his room up with him and making it a lovely place for him to have really good sleep. Get him as involved as possible.
