Ds is 11.5 months. Until 1 month ago we were firmly feeding to sleep, co sleeping from 930, feeding at all wakings and multiple night feeds.
A mixture of all sorts of methods, very brief cc and gradual retreat has got us to the point I feed him in his room, wind & put down awake, he nods off in 5-15 mins with minimal fuss, me verbally reassuring sitting nearby but no longer stroking or touching him. He was sleeping til midnight with a brief resettle, then feed at 4 & co sleep from then.
Last 4 nights it's gone to rats. Waking at 10, 1130, 130 then I cannot settle him without bringing him into my bed. Last 2 nights he's settled for 10 mins at a time before sobbing his heart out whilst I try to soothe him off again. This went in for 3 hrs last night before DH & neighbours had both had enough & I gave in.
Ds is shattered, we all are. He's not eating properly, is tearful, over tired, naps gone to shit. A total mess. Back to work soon & this needs sorting.
Should I persevere tonight or just co sleep do we all get some rest & start over in a few days? Will that undo everything we've achieved so far? So tired I can't think straight, terrible sleeper from birth, thanks for reading.
