We wound up co-sleeping last night after the lo was up every hour. It worked out great for everyone except me - dp had his longest sleep in ages, lo happy + no tears, but I feel just as knackered as always - I never really slept deeply and was even more alert to her every movement.
I feel I'm at my wits end. Just when it seemed like the sleep thing was falling into place (2 weeks of only getting up once or twice per night, heavenly!) teething has begun, and we are back to being up hourly. She doesn't struggle to get back to sleep, a bit o boob and/or rocking and it's sorted, usually it takes 20-30 minutes. She is 17 weeks old and ex bf.
I feel like I have tried everything, baby whisperer et al. We are going to give the no-cry sleep solution another go over half term, but part of me feels like, 'what's the use, my baby is not a good sleeper, accept it and move on'. I don't really want to co-sleep, but now it seems like the path of least resistance.
Well MNers, what should I do? And if I do end up co-sleeping, will we ever have sex again? Not that it's a hotbed of lust around here, but I thought at some point, perhaps...
