DD has been a pretty good sleeper from the beginning. She was sleeping through 7-7 with a dream feed by about 10 weeks although this has turned into 7-5 (no dream feed) in the last month or two. She sleeps in the Snuzpod beside me. If relevant she's EBF.
Since the lockdown we've been practicing naps in the cot in her own room which are going well. 40min in the morning, 1h45m at lunch and then a quick 30mins usually in my arms about 4.30.
Decided it was time to put her in her own room overnight. Night 1 I slept in there too, she was fine up at 5.30 like normal, feed then back to sleep for an hour. Night 2 the same. Night 3 left her by herself and she woke at 4 screaming her head off, completely inconsolable, brought her into our bed to feed and stayed there til morning. Night 4 I slept in with her again, same as first two nights all fine. Thought maybe the bad night had been a fluke but last night left her by herself again and she woke up screaming at 3, tried to settle her without a feed but caved after 10 mins and fed her then put her into the snuzpod where she still wouldn't settle for a full hour and ended up back in our bed.
I'm worried she's waking up scared and alone and thinks I've deserted her. Would stick with the snuzpod but she's getting too big and has also been rolling out of it into me, worried she'll do that in the night and she'll end up with the duvet over her. Do I persevere with the cot? Or do I keep sleeping in that room with her? There isn't really a happy medium, we're either in the same room or we're not.
