My ds2 is 9 months and in our room still. We moved into a new house when I was pregnant with him and it’s a wreck so we’ve only just had the time and money to be able to do up the space for him to sleep in. He’s never been a great sleeper but he does self settle in his cot for both his naps and for the first two hours of the night before we come to bed. Once he knows we are in the room he comes into bed with us and then wakes on average every two hours and boobs back to sleep. He’s a big boy, eating well during the day and has a bottle of formula before bed so I know the bf is just comfort. Is it a bit harsh to go cold Turkey on the night feeds completely when we move him into his own room? We are also thinking we are going to try the Ferber method to get him to connect his sleep cycles and sleep for longer stretches but I’m worried it’s all going to be a bit too much for him at once and he will scream blue murder all night. I would like to add at this point I’ve not actually slept for longer than 3 hours in a row for 9 months so I’m literally feeling so exhausted now I will try anything to get some Kip. I know people don’t agree with the Ferber method but I feel at 9 months he should be ok and I honestly feel the cosleeping is as uncomfortable for him as it is for me now.
Anyone got any success stories of trying anything similar?
