Hun, I think you're being realistic in suggesting that you get a king size bed Honestly, that is going to be so much easier for everyone than tring to get her to sleep in her cot.

My DS is a total cot hater! He loved his bassinette (for 6 months, then too big), but has always hated the cot, and although we used to partly cosleep, it's all the time now. He hasn't been in his cot for months, DH and I were just saying that we (he ) should disassemble it and store it away. I went out and ordered him a bed today

I totally understand where you're coming from. I like Cai saying shoulda, coulda, woulda. I wish I had let go many months ago, and just accepted that this was the way things were, and the way DS is. Although I still have moments when I wish to have my bed space back, I love co sleeping more than ever, and I'll really miss him when (if ) he sleeps in his own room.

Maybe you could have a hammock for when you just feel you need a break? However you get around it, I would be sure that if you continue co sleeping you will one day be VERY glad you did. If you spend many months trying to get her to sleep well in her cot, you will likely be resentful of that time spent (and wasted, in my case. I could have been enjoying alot of other things, instead of trying to settle my baby in his cot!).

Good luck and remember to pop in here when you need support....there are many of us who understand the challenges that co sleeping can bring, but also can remind you of just how special and wonderful it is And that it doesn't last forever!
