We've co-slept with DD (7 months) since she was born, and love it. BUT our evenings are terrible, she won't even bf to sleep and has to be rocked by her daddy until she's sound asleep and then passed to me for the rest of the evening. Sometimes we're rocking and feeding and walking up and down with her until past midnight. We've tried gradual retreat and shh-pat to no avail.
We're thinking of trying pick up/put down when she goes down in the evening, then co-sleeping once we come to bed. Has anyone tried this combination with success? Is pick up/put down really just another version of controlled crying? Am in a real dilemma, really need to sort our evenings but DON'T want to leave dd to cry and DO want to carry on co-sleeping. Are we onto a hopeless cause?
