Have you tried going out and letting you DH work out his way of settling your little one? I avoided going out for a loong time because i (we) thought i was the only one that could get dd to sleep. Through necessity, i had to be away and then it wasn't as bad as we thought, and they worked out their own way of getting dd to sleep. It also strengthened their relationship. I also had to let DH work out his own way, trying to mimic my methods just wasn't going to work.
Peanutter - is there a specific time when your little one is biting? Do you think it is just his age, or part of the breast refusal? :hugs:
i find it interesting how there is so much variance in 'co-sleeping' and breastfeeding. I wear a top to bed so i have to actually get my breast out, i don't have it available to baby at all times. I usually lie on my side, feed bub, he goes to sleep and detaches or gets detached, i cover up and go to sleep. He wakes up, i pull him over me to the other side, feed bub, he goes to sleep..... repeat.
I never worked out how to feed baby from the top breast, so have to do the switch sides thing. I have actually woken a few times with DS crawling over my head to switch sides. After the feed, he generally wants to roll away (to be spooned) or to lay on his tummy. Quite different to DD who always wanted to be right up close.
