I just wanted to ask when your baby started to consistently link sleep cycles?
My DD is 13 months (not far off 14) and still does not consistently link her sleep cycles. I co sleep and breast feed but can be woken up every hour at night as she wants to suckle/feed back to sleep. It’s particularly bad at the moment (vaccinations, coughs/colds, teething and learning to walk).
Same with day naps. She will sleep for 45 mins ish and then I will need to go in and help her settle for longer (breastfeed/rock/sing).
On occasion she can do it but it’s not frequent at all.
Not interested in sleep training/CIO. Appreciate these may have worked for others but I’m not going to do it.
I wouldn’t say I’m at my wits end but I must admit I was hoping for longer stretches by now!!! 🥱

@GoodnightAdeline thanks for your input but I don’t see supporting and comforting my baby as “a problem”. Like I’ve stated I’m ok to continue with this and “power through”, just intrigued when developmentally she might be ready to link on her own and what other people’s experience of this is.

Cosleeping and breastfeeding is the problem here but as you aren’t willing to change that, there’s not much to be done but power through.
