Oh feeling a bit sad about my DS sleep at the mo (have not had the chance to come on here for ages and think I abandoned threads I started so also have guilt about not thanking people.. off task).
I have been co-sleeping with ds from the beginning although it was a slight accident, I like it and am in no real rush to change things but wanted to start gently moving forward. up until last week I would feed him in lounge he would fall asleep on me then we would go to bed together about 10.30 when he would feed and fall asleep. He woke a couple of times a night for food but he wouldn't cry and I would just swap boobs and go back to sleep, he would then wake at about 9.15 so all in all a good nights sleep for me and DH who never wakes up.
My mum got be a side-car crib for my birthday and I've started using that, I don't like the idea of cc and seem to be physically incapable of it anyway the problem is at night he feeds to sleep but for his daytime naps I try not too. I look out for signs of sleepyness take him to the bedroom put on lullabies and rock him but he never (well once in a very special bluemoon) falls asleep without really crying, this can sometime be more a sleepy whinge but more often than not is loud angry sounding cries with the odd scream thrown in. ALSO he naps for the longest of 45mins and when wakes up nearly always starts crying instantly I've tried to be there to pat him to try and get him to stay asleep but he just gets louder and louder and holds his legs in the air all tense and cross!
I want to be able to put him down awake but that seems so far away. Any ideas anyone????
