Default New Kiwi

Hi
I am in Auckland, NZ and keen to chat with other mothers co-sleeping, bfing and APing...
My dd is 14mths and I would like to hear of anyones night-time parenting experiences with co-sleepers this age. DD is fed to sleep, and wakes about 3-4 times a night. Am feeling quite accepting of it this week, but was completely OVER IT last week.
Cheers.
P

Hi P
I'm a kiwi living in Oz, but we are moving back to NZ in about 5w time..... Oh dear!

I hear you on the over it thing - my son sounds like your daughter, and its a nightmare isn't it? I will admit we were a bit naughty and went to sleep school last week which was horrible, but has helped him a little at night time. Still - he ended up with us in bed for most of last night.

Anyway - welcome to Nappycino, I hope we can chat cloth sometime!

Welcome to Nappycino! I'm sorry I can't help you 'cause I don't co-sleep but lots here do so I'm sure someone will be able to offer some feedback. Good luck!

Welcome!
Its funny how you gets used to no-sleep isnt it! The other night i was up on the hour every hour. The way i get through it is i think "this wont last for ever, enjoy the cuddles while i can". Its a little mantra i guess!
We dont co-sleep all of the time but i do love when we do.

Hi and welcome

There was a thread on baby/babies 18mths/16mths the same thing, and I know I posted in that one, which is why I remember there were several other detailed replies that might help.
Searching isn't always my skill ha ha, but if I can find the link, will post.
Otherwise maybe you might have better luck with the search function than me?
