My dd is 8 months old today. We used to cosleep, but my dh didn't like that, so I compromised about a month ago and put dd in a cosleeper right next to my side of the bed.
So this morning I woke up exhausted for the third night in a row. Dd is teething and it's making her ear hurt (had it checked out to make sure it wasn't an ear infection, and it wasn't). Usually I go to bed at midnight because I can't sleep until then, and the last two nights dd has woken up right when I go to bed to eat...no big deal. She ends up needing to be rocked back to sleep (and it takes a long time!) and I fall asleep in the chair with her. I usually wake up when she's ready to nurse again and then rock her back to sleep and put her in her cosleeper. She gets up around 5:00 and eats again. She's eating so often right now because I think it hurts to suck and she's not eating a lot at one time. Well, this morning my dh said, "We need to get her out of our room. She's getting spoiled." She's only 8 months old!
How do I handle this? I DO NOT want her in her own room and I already compromised with him and got her out of our bed. I just don't think she should be in her own room yet!
