From a fan Hi .Can you post it for me please ? My co sleeping baby wakes up all night....help!? My 11 month old has slept with me since birth. I love the idea of co sleeping and wish that I could continue it. However, he wakes up a lot...sometimes every hour....and I am so tired from 11 months of sleeping only an hour or 2 hours at a stretch. He has done this since birth so it is not just a phase due to teething or growth spurt. He wakes up, starts fussing ,kick his legs and arms and needs to nurse himself back to sleep.If I try to sooth him he just pushes away from me and starts screaming . I dont mind breastfeed him 2-4 times a night for comfort but 5-10 times? Aaaaahhhh..I am pooped! Are there any co sleeping parents out there that have had this issue and have any suggestions? I have tried patting his bottom,rocking him to sleep, (one month ago he refused the pacifier )and other alternatives so that he needs the boob less and eventually wakes up less but none have workedWhen do co sleeping infants start sleeping better....or do I really need to seriously start considering him going to a crib (and all the crying....and I mean HOURS, not MINUTES....of crying?) I dont want to do it...I want to co sleep but is there an end in sight to the frequent wakeups? Or, am I looking at these every-hour wakeups for another year? How long should I hold out and hope or is it a lost hope and I just need to put him in his crib and let him cry all night? He eats really well, 3 solid meals a day plus breastfeeding. Please help....I guess I just need reassurance that he will start sleep better eventually or from those co sleeping parents who have gone before me, do I need to fix this NOW? He takes 2 naps a day....one in the morning for 30 -45 minutes...that is all he ever sleeps.....and another in the afternoon for 2 hours...he sleeps that long because I sleep next to him....on the few days I do not sleep next to him, he only sleeps 30 - 45 minutes again. Sigh.
