My unconventional sleep solution

in Attachment Parenting
Hi -I've posted on here about how my co-sleeping, breastfeeding daughter was up every 1.5-2 hours to nurse (for her whole first year) and how it was making me a crazy person.  I think I have her sleeping through the night now!  I night weaned her and moved her to her crib since she's now 1 year old and certainly wasn't needing to eat at night.  At first I was disappointed because she was still waking up every 3 hours and unable to sooth herself back to sleep.  Then I noticed that she was waking up every time she bumped into the side of her crib....so, we moved her to a queen size floor bed and voila, she's sleeping through the night!  So excited! I feel like a new person!  Just wanted to share because I know I would have tried any suggestion a month ago.

    That's fab!  I've thought about a floor bed for Ella, but it would mean I would need to make her room a little tidier than it is at the moment!

    Glad you figured out what the problem was - now enjoy your sleep!

    I noticed DD does the same thing. She rolls into her crib and wakes herself up. I tried putting the bumpers in to see if it would help, but sadly it has not. Right now she rolls back and forth between DH and I in our bed and cuddles up to us. I think when she's in her crib, she wakes up when she rolls and realizes that there's no one to snuggle with.
