I want to move my LO into her own room and stop contact napping…
for context
- did first 12 weeks in the next to me, woke up within seconds of being put down every time, would have to be held
- at 12 weeks brought her into bed (using sleep safe 7) much better as no crying and I didn’t need to get up, but still 6-10 times a night and had to be connected to boob
- 80% of the time she needs boob in her mouth to stay asleep, 100% time needs boob to fall asleep, won’t take a dummy
- has to be carried around because the pram is too far away from us (she screams and cries) so she really hates being apart!
- have tried to get her in her room at 6mo and she cried for over an hour while being rocked/held/sung to/put on the boob, so i gave up. I can’t take the crying it breaks my heart.
- now looking to try again at 8 mo
anyone had a similar experience?
she’s so happy and gorgeous, I am dreading changing things. But my husband and I can’t continue like this so something needs to change. Any advice would be amazing.
