i normaly do this during the day but dont get any replys so thought id try the eve.
i started co-sleeping with my ds by accident just kinda happened. he was a terrible comfert sucker, now weened and 15 months. im due late july and want to co-slp with 2nd.
after reading no cry sleep solution, and ds starting to get to active for family bed safely during day due to falling off, i got him into his own room on a mattress on the floor with me in with him to comfert then going away.
at one point when we were sleeping in a side car arrangement he started sleeping through, but now he wakes more than 6 times a night, my waist length hair is a comforter and i end up falling asleep next to him in the end after so many trips back and forth. and have ended up in there with him again for most of the night , most nights.
i want to get him sleeping on his own well b4 next baby so he dousnt fell left out. i keep trying to sort him out but after illness after illness and jabs and teething hes been desturbed for a couple of months now.
i actualy went into early labour on wednesday, thankfuly it stopped as at 20 weeks baby would have died, but i cant keep going on like this.
he wont let dh put him to sleep, just gets more and more upset till i come. and i wont leave him to cry.
iv ordered 3 in a bed in the hope that may shed some light.
well im going to leave this now and try and have some time before i drag my sorry carcas to bed. please please do give me any ideas you can think of and/or encouragement. am i just weak willed or what?

lots of people co-sleep quite happily. If it is working for you, then why not? If it is the only way you get some sleep, why not?

We co-slept with dd2 pretty much from day 1, when ds arrived, he was much more inclined to go in his cot. We did co-sleep with them both which worked for us.

Does that put your mind at rest a bit, or can I help some more?
