I’m in the same boat Joy. 11 months now and for the last month is waking every 2hrs to feed again. I thought it was teething but I think is because he doesn’t eat well during the day and bad habits from me. He had been a “happy spitter” and really slow to gain weight being a premie. I just feel guilty not feeding him when he wants to eat. I’m totally exhausted and frustrated and crying it out doesn’t seem to work. Plus he can get out if his crib! All of our sleep issues are compounding.

In reply to Joy.

Joy,

My son is 10 months and I’m stuck in the same bind minus the reflux issues. My son started Co sleeping around 4 months after having his first cold. I work full time..ppl said do what works and the only way we all sleep is by Co sleeping. Even then, he wakes 2-4 times per night to nurse.

My son has always liked motion or to be nursed to sleep. He loves the car, stroller or bouncer but will not go down in a crib. He isn’t sleeping at daycare and my provider seems angry and is committed to trying to get him to sleep in a crib even if it means letting him cry.

I love my son more than anything. I also love our daycare…I don’t know what to do….I don’t know the answer, but wanted you to know you’re not alone.

In reply to rach rac.

Hi Rach,
Thank you for your comment! I’m sorry to hear that you’re having so much trouble with your little one’s sleep. It can be really hard when your space is limited, especially if you and your partner are both working. Many families are able to have the baby in a crib in the same room, but it depends on your baby’s temperament too. My daughter did not sleep well in the room with us, but did a lot better sharing a room with her brother, for example – it really varies! You sound like you’ve given this a lot of thought and I’m absolutely sure you’ve done the best you could for your family. I hope you have great success with sleep work after you move, but if you do need any further help, please do write us! We’d be happy to offer resources for you. Good luck!

i have to agree with that it is my fault why my 20 month can’t sleep without me being there. from day one our son never slept through the night up until 4 months. then things got better up until 9 months. with both my me & husband working full-time jobs and feeling exhausted from lack of sleep we resorted to what was easiest to calm him down, which was to have our son co-sleep in our bed. the question i always ask myself is was having his crib in our bedroom a mistake? we live in a 1 bdroom apartment so we didn’t have a choice. i couldn’t resort to COI. i find it awful. i couldn’t escape the crying noise with no where to go. but here i am feeling exhausted and frustrated because i spared my son the agony of COI. we’re moving into a house in a few weeks and you can bet i’m going to try to put an end to this!!

Thank you, thank you for this!! This is exactly what I needed to hear right now! Brought tears of relief to my eyes. My little boy is 10 weeks old and we co-sleep out of necessity (like you I swore I wouldn’t do it before he was born) and now I actually enjoy it….to a point. So I started reading some books on helping your baby sleep and so far the only thing they have done is made me feel guilty that I did everything wrong. I’ve spent the last few days wondering how I could have failed so badly at being a mom, which lead me to more internet searches for ways to help him sleep. Not exactly sure how we’re going to do that yet, except one day at a time. So thank you for saying that I have been a loving mom for nursing my little boy to sleep, rocking & singing him to sleep and bringing him to bed with me so I could be a sane mommy! I look forward to checking out more of your site!
