Sleep Club with Fox and The Moon

So I did an online sleep course which I found through a very popular Instagram page. The reviews were amazing so I had to give it a try. I’m on night 3 now (my LO is almost 8 months, EBF, will only contact nap during day, feeds to sleep and Co-sleeps with me in bed usually). So we’ve started a nice new bedtime routine as per the course. But he is SO upset going into the cot, I’m not leaving him to cry per say. As I’m sitting with him the whole time, holding his hand, reassuring/Shhing him. But his crying can go on for over an hour before he finally wears out and goes to sleep. Which is so so distressing for us both, I stay calm throughout but inside it’s killing me. Tonight he has cried so much that he has made himself vomit all over his sleeping bag and borderline sounded like he was going to choke. I pulled him out cleaned him up, and he is now sound asleep on my breast. But I just feel lost at what to do now. I would love him to be comfortable sleeping in his cot, but even the last two nights he has fallen asleep in the cot he would sleep for 2-3 hours and then wakes every half hour screaming and has finished the night in our as a result.

Hi Emily and everyone, I have been bed sharing with my little girl since day one. We’ve loved it and it means we’ve had great sleep because I’m breastfeeding too, it’s been really worthwhile up until recently. Baby over the last few weeks I think is now beginning to change and grow. She will also start nursery on Monday for 3 long days (settling didn’t go too well…). She has started to be very wriggly and cry if I don’t feed her, she wants to feed off me at least twice in the night and if I try to put her to my side she cries. I wonder if it’s a growth spurt. Anyway, I’m back to work Monday, she’s going to nursery, I need all the sleep I can get but I also want to try and transition her to cot so we can have some space back. Any advice?? Thank you!!

My 9 month old won’t settle back down to sleep with her dad, he always tries when she wakes up but it always has to be me to go and take over. She fully relies on me to feed her back to sleep, and i don’t mind but my partner is so stressed when it comes to nights where I’m away out. I’m scared to ever go out at night incase she needs me and i dont know what to do, I miss my social life! This is what happens every single time he goes to her, she gets so upset it’s her dad and not me and it breaks my heart

So my 11 month old has just been in hospital over the weekend with pneumonia- as well as a couple of other things & everything has gone to pot!

I’ve been letting him sleep as much as he needs - I also think the medication makes him drowsy, but bedtime has become 530 and I’m not sure if this will shift back to its normal 730 when things are normal? It’s giving me anxiety about a split night and early wakes 😩

Has anyone else found their little one has snapped back into some sort of routine when they’re better?

Our EBF 6mo has slept in our bed from around 2am onwards for several months to save my sanity. He goes down without a problem in his cot at 7.30, wakes every 2 hours but easy to settle until around 2am. I've loved bedsharing but we need to get him into his own cot as I have a shoulder problem that is getting worse. Also my husband thinks the longer we continue, the harder it will be to stop. I've tried feeding to sleep, rocking, holding until deep sleep then transferring but every time he wake screaming when he touches the cot mattress. This can go on for 2 hours sometimes. If I continue bedsharing and gritting my teeth through the discomfort, will we pass this 2am wall naturally or does it need more work to get there? And realistically how long does it take to transition? Any help from anyone that has done it would be greatly appreciated, you may save my shoulder and my marriage! Thank you
