Tehya is still co sleeping and boobing overnight. Have I done this myself, probably, do I care that much about it, no!!

My GP tells me the opposite to yours Hollo, so maybe you need to see her. She tells me do whatever you need to do to get sleep.

Tehya starts off the night in her cot but can not be put down awake. She is usually boobed to sleep or atleast until she is very sleepy, then she will lay herself down on the lounge, butt in the air, toss around for 5 or 10 minutes then crash out. Once she is asleep I transfer her. She joins us in bed when she wakes overnight. And usually the only way I can get her back to sleep is by giving her booby, she asks for it anyway.

If you are happy to do what you are doing then continue. Otherwise Dach gave you some great advise on trying to settle her in the cot first off. You will probably have more luck getting a 5 month old to do this than I have of a 21 month old.
