Hi everyone,
My 11 month old DD used to happily nap in the bed after a feed until recently. Even with a feed she won't nap, and so we've started weaning as she doesn't seem to want the boob as much anymore.
For the past couple of weeks, she will only nap either in the pram (whilst moving) or in the baby carrier on me. But this is really inconvenient and it's tiring me out, I want want her to nap in the bed.
For general info, she has always only slept after being fed since she was a newborn, we've tried other methods but nothing has worked. So now she's weaning I think she doesn't quite know how to sleep without being fed, even though she doesn't appear to want/need the actual feeds anymore.
I'm still feeding her to sleep at night which for some reason does work. She wakes a couple of times in the night and needs a feed to go back to sleep.
She definitely appears to still need a morning and afternoon nap. I try tiring her out with activities but the difficulty of getting her to nap in the bed remains.
We are co-sleeping which is normal in the country we live in, I tried looking for a suitable cot but there aren't any available for her age here. So I can't just put her in the bed by herself and leave the room if she's awake. Even if I did, she would just cry for as long as it takes for me to come back.
I'm feeling a bit down about this situation and would like any advice you may have. Thanks ❤️
