My ds (2 years old) shared a single bed with me every night. He has his own bed and then I have a single bed in his room (dh snores and I’m a very light sleeper).
We do a bath every night, read a book, then he has a nightlight and white noise on. He then gets on the single bed to settle to sleep then we transfer him. At some point in the night, he will join me, or sometimes he’ll only last till8 and won’t go back into his bed so that’s our evening over.
I don’t think I can keep this up. I’m trying to be child led but I’m worried I’m actually doing him damage and he’ll never be able to soothe himself, both asleep and awake. I also cannot share a single bed anymore, my hips and shoulders are buggered!
Has anyone successfully managed to transition away from bed sharing and if so how? Im trying to avoid buying a double bed to continue bed sharing as we’re trying to save for a house, and me sleeping with dh isn’t an option, although we could take it in turns on the sofa, but not ideal!
