We are in a bit of a pickle with my 11 month old and his sleep.
I've coslept since day one, happily and breastfed all night every night. My DS and I sleep happily next to each other and both get lots of sleep.
Problem is.... husband wants to come back in with us..... and I just don't get any sleep with him in the bed/room. We have a superking so there is the space but he snores, wakes up very early for work, tosses and turns, wakes DS up.... I'd just rather he didn't come back in to be honest but I think I need to be fair. He's been very patient to date....
So I'm trying hard to get my DS to sleep in his cot, in his room. Shock horror, he hates it. I feed to sleep but he then stirs realises he's not with me/in his cot and he freaks out and cries and won't resettle.
This has been going on for weeks and inevitably I end up bringing him in to bed with me and kicking poor DH out to the spare room again.
I think reluctantly I need to persist with getting DS to sleep in his cot even though I'd rather he was next to me (I sleep better when he is!)
Anyone got any tips for how I can stop him waking every hour all night long while in his cot? It feels an impossible task!
He's never self settled - ever!
