my ds is 8 months now and has been sleeping in our bed so far (i know, setting up a rod for my own back), however it was the ONLY way he would sleep for just a few hours. I tried EVERYTHING and nothing worked, then came across the term velcro baby which fits him to a tee! Super clingy, cant put him down for 5 mins somedays, screams and floods of tears if i leave the room (even if its to go to the loo for a min) and has to be settled to sleep every time and screams bloody murder if i try and lay him down by himself once he is asleep, even if im 2 feet away. Part of this i think is due to a traumatic birth and lockdown as I'm all he knows!
So...im going to be heading back to work come September and would like some advice from mums who have had velcro babies, as to how and what to do to help him sleep by himself. As it goes for the moment, i won't be able to return and function on 3-4 hours broken sleep a night.
Any tips/advice or even just stories of experience would be much appreciated x
