Live online discussion with Steve Biddulph, Thursday 28th September, 9.30 pm

Hi Steve - our 22 month son is still breastfeeding (not much now)and still in bed with us, which has been lovely. We would however like to move onward and get him into his own bedroom. Have you any tips on how to do this in a way which is as untraumatic as possible to everyone concerned? Early attempts were a disaster - the controlled crying turned into whole nights of trauma that neither my husband nor I could stomach, and it certainly felt cruel to subject our son to it. Bed and breastfeeding are closely connected as my son will still have a quick feed during the night. Do I stop the feeding or sort out the bed first?

Hi Jennym, I'm afraid Steve's unlikely to see this query as his chat was some time ago. Have you tried posting a similar query on the general discussion boards, or alternatively you could try mumsnet's parenting expert, Jan Parker - just click on the ask the expert button in the left hand menu bar on the home page. Best of luck,
