I have co-slept with my son pretty much since we came home from the hospital at 4 weeks because he was premature and had a long NICU stay (please no judgment. His doctor knows we co-sleep and was fine with it because of some of my son’s medical problems. He said having him close was actually beneficial). We’re over those hurdles and ready to start a normal sleeping pattern, but now he doesn’t want to sleep by himself of course. He also does not self soothe at all. I have to rock him to sleep for every nap and at bedtime. On top of this stuff, he has silent reflux so I know that’s going to make the process harder too.

Does anyone have any tips on how I can get him sleeping by himself and help him self soothe? He still wakes up twice at night to eat, occasionally 3 times. This mama is tired and ready to have her space back at night
