*me puts hand up*

Jaykob has never really been a full night sleeper. He has slept through on the odd occasion but it also depends on what people classify as a full night lol

He is 16 months old now and has started sleeping better *touch wood* but still has nights where he wont sleep, needs to be settled in ways like taking him for a drive or I take him into bed with me (which Ive always done so its not so bad)

I dont mind co-sleeping, I have done it since he was born, on advice from my midwife ... But sometimes he wants to chat and play or wiggle and I feel at the end of my rope.

I worry about what the future brings, sleep wise. I have been asked why I havent put him into his mini-bed, hes still in his cot (alot of the mother group with similar and younger aged kids have put them in single beds and I cant bring myself to do that yet? Because I know he will be up all through the night just because he can iykwim? I dont know what I will do if it goes "downhill" from here.... lol

While he might not be waking as often as others, Id like to be a part of your older baby non sleeping club... And Im open to suggestions of what other parents do...

I have never tried sleep school, have any of you taken an "older baby" to one?

oh and the other thing, when he was at childcare they were getting him to "nap" 5 hours a day.... whats with that... they just pop them in the cot and pat their back and TADAAAAA! ASLEEP!

that makes me feel crappy, that someone else can put them to sleep SOOOOO easily! why doesnt he do that for me?

Ok i will stop rambling now lol
