My DD is 5mo and has never been a good sleeper. For the first 6 weeks we slept in shifts so the other could stay up and let her sleep on them. Over the last few weeks she has gone back to wanting to sleep on me and cries when I put her in the crib. She sleeps in our room and is breastfed. She has never slept through the night but had been waking to feed only twice until a few weeks ago. Now she can wake every hour.
. I know this could be extended 4 month sleep regression and that she could grow out of it if I just carry on as we are. My problem is that I have started to fall asleep with her on me in bed. Our bed is not set up for bedsharing and I am terrified she will fall out/ suffocate etc. I try very hard to stay awake but I am just so tired! Should I just give in, ditch the pillows, move the bed against the wall and let DD bunk in with us? At this stage, it would probably be safer than what we are doing!
