Co-Sleeping/ Bed Sharing

Rosalie

I have a 5 1/2 month old daughter who is exclusively breastfed still and who has been bed sharing with me for the past 3 1/2 months. I’m currently looking around at cribs and would LOVE to be able to get her to sleep on her own again. Not to mention, she used to sleep beautifully at night, and suddenly stopped. She is now only sleeping anywhere from 20-30 minutes at a time- 1-1 1/2 hours throughout the night. I am struggling and sleep deprived, as are most mothers... and I’d love some help and advice. I would like to avoid the “cry it out” method as much as possible unless absolutely necessary... there has to be other ways.. My husband is a truck driver so he’s gone most nights and can’t be much help during these hours..
