Hi Ladies,
Need advice as I have always had really bad problem trying to get my little boy to sleep.
He was the kind of baby that always needed holding and cried when I put him down.
I also committed the cardinal crime of parenting by co sleeping with when he was a baby and
have a had terrible time trying to break this cycle.
Basically when he was born he contracted the Group B Strep Virus from me and was really, really poorly. I actually thought that I was going to lose him, and it still brings tears to my eyes thinking back to that time in the hospital when I gave birth and MW and docs running everywhere and putting him on a machine and then taking him away.
When I finally got him back, I didnt want to let him go or let him out of my sight. It actually hurt deep in my chest, when he cried, does anyone know what I mean?
Anyway, he is now 2yrs 4 months and still he needs me there to fall asleep and wakes several times in the night and needs me there for him to go back to sleep.
I think he is genuinely scared of sleeping on his own, but as you can imagine this is so tiring for me, and OH will not deal with any in the night stuff, so it all had been down to me.
We really want another baby, I have had two MMC in the last year.
One this month, and as I have been so shattered , I have just had him in the bed with me, as I needed to sleep.
I know I need to get his sleeping sorted before really we are ready to have another baby.
We have tried all sleep methods, but he is very , very resilient!
Any advice from anyone that has been through similar sleep problems? xxxx
