Baby sleep

Floorbed / night weaning chats?

Hi everyone. I currently bedshare and breastfeed my almost 16 month old. Only way she knows to go to sleep is feeding to sleep for naps and nighttime and back to sleep multiple times throughout the night. We are on a mattress on the floor. I do feed her to sleep and go out for the evening with my husband and of course watch her through monitor and last few nights I am noticing her be able to settle herself in those first few hours a bit better and I don’t have to go in and out as much. I’m feeling like maybe if I wasn’t there throughout the night so would maybe settle herself more and need the boob less because I have to latch her a lot throughout the night. I’m thinking maybe about a Floorbed and starting to sleep in a different room to her and obvs go in when she needs me. All with the hope of her maybe starting to sleep throughout the night. The idea of actually not letting her have the boob and properly doing night weaning just sounds really hard. So anyway just sharing because I would love to hear if anyone tried their babe in their own room on a Floorbed around this age? Or anything about night weaning etc. Honestly one of the main reasons I would like her to stop feeding so much throughout the night is of course because I would like longer stretches of sleep for me but also I would like to get pregnant again and still don’t have my period. Thank you 🙏

Co sleeping

I really want to have my baby sleep with me on bad nights - such as when teething. Baby usually sleeps in their own room, but I’d like to co sleep from time to time. However, I don’t have a floor bed or a cot that I can place next to my bed. Does anyone have any advice on how I can make my set up safe? I feel like bed rails would be a good option for us, but are they safe? If so, does anyone have any recommendations of which ones to get? For context baby is crawling and pulling up to stand. TIA! X

Baby sleep

Baby(6Mo) only wants to chest sleep, how to transition her to side by side?

She’s EBF and will only eat in laid back position (my letdown is very powerful and this way she has best control over flow). Every meal puts her to sleep. And every time I try to lay side by side with her she wakes up and gets frustrated, and won’t resettle until she’s back on my chest.

It’s fine for naps during the day but at night it’s getting hard to breathe. She’s almost 25lbs. And last night she tried to roll OFF my chest and I startled awake and caught her. I’m scared it’ll happen again and I won’t wake in time and she’ll hit the floor.

I don’t wanna make her cry it out but I also need more than 1.5hrs of unbroken sleep at a time. Has anyone been through this and come out the other side?
