Hi all, need some advice/help/guidance my little sausage is 14months old and we sorta co sleep we are looking to change this as we have another one on the way.
So sausage slept with us(in next to me) for first 7months of life his sleep was never a issue till this point went on holidays when he was 7months old and his sleep has never been the same he wouldnt settle in his travel cot at all to the point he shared a bed with me for the week, my plan was to transition him into his own room after we got home, well i kept in his next to me for a bit longer so he could get used to being at home, which did help.
So we transitioned into his room okay took some time but we got there, then when he hit 9months old it got worse, he would wake around15 times in the night would settle him off then he would go back to sleep for another 20 mins or so then do the same, we keep with it until he became completely inconsolable in his cot so would hold him try and put him down tired/sleepy and as soon as he felt me lower him down he would wake screaming, then after a few rounds of that he would be wide awake to the point we would have to go down stairs.
We got lucy wolfs book followed that put a bath before bed every night and unfortunately that made.zero difference so after about a month of very little sleep and pure desperation he came into bed with us and of course he sleeps through so since we have been sorta co sleeping so we would follow bed time routine then put him down to sleep in his own room and bed and he would sleep till 1am ish then scream his head off then get in with us.
So the problem i face now is another one on the way, there physically isnt the space to have all 4 of us in bed and that when we put him to bed now he is waking after a hour to two hours and again we cant console him in his cot well when he is going to bed at 8 wanting to get into our bed at 9 isnt ideal and neither of us are ready for bed and still need showers ect.
Any advice help needed here?? Im fully aware that i have made this problem alot worse.
Anyone been in same boat?
