I’ve just given birth to our soon a week ago. We are in another room to my husband and 2 year old. I’ve always co slept with our toddler as she’s got high sleep needs and needs extra reassurance. Before I gave birth I had finally got her to sleep through the night and go down within half an hour like clock work. Now I have to be up all night with the new born my husband has been co sleeping with her. She’s been up all night every night crying for a week now (which I said is to be expected as it’s a massive change in her routine) my husband said he can’t do this any longer and he’s going to put her old crib back together and let her cry it out. I’m devastated as I’ve spent 2 years of sleepless nights deliberately not doing this method. But there’s nothing I can do because I can’t be in two places at once. My heart is broken for her.

Could you find a way to cosleep with both together? Maybe new baby would be OK in a next-to-me or side car cot? Just while you help toddler readjust?
