Tell me how your 6 month olds who co-sleep and BF are sleeping these days...

Mine is sleeping TERRIBLY!!  I am just trying to figure out what my expectations should be given my parenting choices.  I enjoy co-sleeping and wouldn't mind nursing once or twice overnight-but this waking every hour business is insane.  I am trying the No Cry Sleep Solution and hoping with all my might for success.  I just can't do CIO-and I don't think my DS is ready.  I had to walk away for a few mins when I was really frustrated the other night after 3 failed attempts to lay him down-and after 10 mins he had vomitted and sweat through his clothes and sheets from crying so hard   So, I am just trying to set realistic expectations...how are your LO's sleeping if you co-sleep and nurse at night??

Awe, I'm sorry you're having a rough time!  DS sleeps great.  He still nurses multiple times overnight, but he doesn't wake up, just roots in his sleep till he latches on.  Lately we've both been sleeping during feedings.

The only times lately that DS has slept poorly have been when he was sick or when he was teething.

Same here. He used to sleep 9-7, maybe getting up ONCE to nurse...ever since the teeth started coming in he has been tough-up 3-4 times a night. I also cosleep and bf...I think we just have to ride it out!

Some nights I can barely remember waking up at night and others I feel like I am up every hour.

Mine wasn't sleeping at all. I had to get her out of our bed to see any improvements whatsoever, and it broke my heart. I miss her snuggles!

Some nights he sleeps like a champ, while others are horrible!  He usually only nurses 1 time during the night now, but wakes up several times lately.  He's been having separation anxienty now that winter break is over for daycare.  (It was closed for 2 weeks, so it was either me, DH or grandpa with LO).  I'm chalking his wakefulness to him wanting me close!

She used to be the best sleeper until about a week ago. Normally she wakes up once a night for about 30 minutes because she's super hungry, and one or two nights a week she would STTN.

Now, she's up every 2 hours without fail and acting like she's starving to death. I'm blaming the 6 month growth spurt. I just hope it's over soon, this is killing me at work.

He's sleeping like crap lately. It could be a growth spurt or teething, either way it could end now and I'd be happy.
