I hope this is the correct place for this question.
My son just turned 1 two weeks ago. We started to nightwean him last week. We were all jet lagged and he had been nursing for hours and hours at night, basically using me as his paci. One night, I had had it, left him in bed with my dh (we co-sleep) and slept in the guest room. My son was MAD, and I was afraid he would scream for hours...........but he calmed down after about 2 minutes, and each time he woke afterwards, my dh gave him the paci and he went right back to sleep.
Â
I have been sleeping in the guest room ever since...
My question is this: We would love to continue to co-sleep, and I would love to continue nursing him. At what point would you recommend me going back to the family bed? He is doing FINE without me. He wakes up once or twice and goes immediately back to sleep for my husband. I'm afraid with me in the bed, he will want to nurse, and then we will need to start all over again? Does anyone have any experience/suggestions?
