We're not at independent sleep either. We stay with him until he falls asleep then my husband co sleeps with him whilst I co sleep with baby. He does tend to sleep through anyway but this is more of a guarantee for a better night's sleep all round!
We've only been co sleeping for around 8 months as our little boy was getting me up every single night and I was pregnant so it seemed easier. He will go to bed on his own but if we didn't go in with him, he'd be up in the night. Hoping to get him back into a routine of sleeping alone soon
Our bedtime routine Is teeth , toilet then a story We then put a night light on have a Kiss & cuddle then leave the room But I think we were lucky as I’ve never had to stay with her till she was asleep Fingers crossed you can crack it x
Yes, we have to stay with her until she’s asleep and my husband cosleeps with her in a double floor bed, I’m cosleeping with the baby. He’s asked her a few times if she wants to go to sleep by herself, and she says yes, but then starts crying when he goes to leave the room! So we’re not at independent sleep yet!
