Looking for some advice!

So first off, I completely respect and love my husband. Please refrain from any husband bashing as I don’t speak badly about my man and don’t appreciate it when others do either! Thank you :)

That said, I am looking for some advice or tips on this situation.

So long story short my daughter was born early @ 36&2. She was petite at 3lbs14oz but perfectly healthy. Because she was so small, my doctor said she would need to be on my chest doing skin to skin constantly to help her regulate her body heat and to keep her latched as often as possible/as much as she wanted to be. We did this for her first 8 weeks of life, and she really thrived. we ended up Bedsharing with the safe sleep precautions because she still at a year old wants to nurse every hour, sometimes even more frequently than that- at night tho. During the day she nurses 1-2x at this point. My poor husband, he’s been extremely patient, but he finally got emotional and broke down stating that he needs her out of our bed and he’s tired of not getting to spend much time with me and he misses me. I get it. I love that he wants to be with me more. I feel so torn inside because she still nurses 3-6x a night but average is 5x and to put her in her crib, I will be getting up and walking around the house all night long. I tried to explain that and how it would impact my sleep and energy levels etc and he said he doesn’t want me to have to be up like that and wouldn’t ask that of me but that he really needs her out of our bed so he asked me about weaning her. Thing is, I don’t feel she’s ready for weaning. I feel a bit torn in two directions and I’m not sure what to do. His needs are valid. But so are mine and our daughters. I have yet to find a happy compromise. I ordered a crib rail and am planning on dropping her bed down to toddler level and trying to nurse her in her bed only, but idk if he will feel happy about that cause he still won’t be getting more time with me.
