| dead tired co-sleeper |
| Hi all,
we are co-sleeping with our 21 month old son. when our son was an infant it seemed great not to have to get up every two hours to feed him. The problem now is that he is still on a very broken sleep schedual and last night he woke up "6 times" which is typical! I am trying to night ween him as the only solution I can think of in order to get some sleep myself so now when he wakes up I have to say no and struggle with that. there is really little difference between waking up and saying no or waking and feeding. I have also tried sleeping on the sofa which I will probably do tonight because he only wakes up twice when I'm not there.
However, our sofa is only a loveseat, yeah, uncomfortable.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! |

If he seems to wake up less if you are not right next to him, maybe you should put a little bed by yours that slowly you can move further away. It is really important to get some continuous sleep otherwise it is impossible to function.

Hi,
thanks for your reply. we did just get a toddlers bed in our room but have not been able to keep him in it. We put him in his bed when he falls asleep then he wakes up and climbs in with us. we need to try again at keeping him in his bed but when "I" try to put him down he goes crazy because all he wants is to be with me or on me or nursing from me. mama,mama,mama. I gave up after puting him back down 25 times one night. |

| Your son thinks you are his parcifier, so if you don't want him to wake you up you have to stop breastfeeding him. My experience with my child was she was waking me up because she lost the parcifier, eventually she stopped when she felt the parcifier was not essential. |
