I lost my post. Good though, because I'm not in a good place right now. I'm really struggling emotionally with this whole thing. I can't get him to nap anywhere but in teh sling and my back is killing me. I also can't get him to settle when he is really tired and needing to sleep unless he is bounced on teh fitball. Its doing me in. I tried several times to put him in teh cot today and once he puked and was face first in it (he is a bit pukey so it's not safe on his back), and te others simply didn't take.

We cosleep at night which is fine, no complaints about that, he is behaving like a normal bfed baby at night with his frequent feeds. But during the day, I'm not sure whether to wait it out until he is older for the cot thing, or get him into the swing of it before he is too old. Actually, either way, I can't cope with the slinging/bouncing anymore, I actually bounce through most of his naps, just to keep moving. If I stop moving, he wakes. It totally sucks and I'm getting nothing done because my back hurts too much to do stuff while holding him.

So I'm trying to work out how to transition him without damaging him and it's doing my head in. Anyway, just thought I'd check in cos I've been away for a while feeling quite low and desperate.

I've read a little bit, not totally caught up, but I hope you are all doing ok, at least better than me.

Best wishes xx
