Caine has been sleeping in with me since he was born.
He sleeps the first few hours in his cot and then ends up with me when he wakes for BF.
He used to sleep 7 or 8 hours straight and for the past month has been doing 2 or 3 hours
I have tried to let him cry, last night for 1 and half hours, picking him up, feeding him, dummy in, rocking back to sleep but each time I put him back in he wakes and screams again
I know this is the reason for his waking.
When he gets in with me then within 5 or 10 seconds he is sound asleep!
I know its my fault as he sleeps so well in with me but OH sleeps on sofa cos he dont like it and I dont sleep well. Enough is enough now
When I put him to bed, I lay him next to me on our bed and within a minute or 2 he is asleep so thats how he goes to bed as i had to get him out of the BF and sucking for comfort to go to sleep.....
Any advice please, I hate using the CIO method, cant cope with it
He has teddies in his cot, I put bonjella etc on dummy for teething, he CAN fall asleep on his own as he does it next to me, on his mat in the day etc....
Thanks
