Hello!

My 5 month old has been co sleeping with me since birth. She wakes up at least 5-6 times during the nitght for a feed and sometimes will decide that 3am is her play time and will play for 2-3 hours! This is not the issue though.

I am trying to transfer her to sleep in her cot. I have been feeding her to sleep in my arms and then when asleep placing her in the cot. *as soon as I put her down* she wakes up immediatly. She has started holding onto my clothes so she can feel when I am not there.

The past few days she has only been content to go to sleep laying in my bed and feeding herself to sleep there. If I go to get out of the bed, she immediatly wakes and screams. If I lay next to her or hold her when she is asleep she will have 2-3 hours, otherwise 5 mins if we are lucky!

Any suggestions from those that have successfully weaned from cosleeping ?

Thanks alot in advance!
Jen
