DS is one and a half year old and hubby cant even feed him and has never changed a diaper so I doubt he would try his luck at keeping him asleep. lol he says there r things that r meant to be done by woman only hehe. I stopped BF just a month ago but he never wants to sleep next to me he wants to be in his own cot so I fit my hand through the cot ledges and that way I can lay in my bed while still keeping him asleep, the problem is that I cant turn or move and my hand is ice cold in the morning *_* so that cant go on for long as well I will try to sleep with his teddy before I give it back hope it will help Sounds like a certain someone needs to be dropped in at the deep end... "women only"... yeah, whatever. Sorry, that's just me though! Seriously, though, even if that's the way he thinks, he should at least have the decency not to laugh and be supportive. I'm sure he wouldn't take kindly to you laughing at him if he'd had a really bad day at work. Seeing as you son is 18 months old (same as mine!), he's getting to the transition between baby and toddler, so this really is a window of opportunity to break this habit before it sets in and his ever developing independent toddler mind decides it's a wonderful thing to continue with. Did anything change when his sleep changed? New décor, something he saw on telly, was there an argument in the house? Or is he ill or teething? Did he fall? Is he cold? It's worth trying to get to the bottom on it in order to try and find a solution. <em>edited by Hello.Kitty on 14/01/2011</em>

ya teddy was apparently a one time thing for us :( and I am again hanging on top of his cot with hubby laughing at my failed plan :( any other suggestions anyone :( get your hubby to do it if he finds it so funny! lol You didn't mention how old he is. Anyhow, sometimes, needs must and in the early weeks of endless feeding, I had DS in bed with me, so that I wasn't completely zonked by morning.

you hold the teddy or sleep with the teddy somehow or perhaps even a little comfort blankie thing, or even a t-shirt of yours that you have worn all day, it will have your smell on it, hopefully that may help? We did this with both of our DS comforter toys, I slept with them for about 3 nights before we gave them to him (one for his cot, one when out and about). He loves them and grizzles for a while before going to sleep but basically I find him face planted on it a few minutes later sound asleep. we also use a white noise maker type thing, it plays rain, heartbeat, waves and something else... the sound of the rain is his favourite and I leave that on until I am going to bed. I hope something works for you soon.

This wont really fix the problem, but a bandaid fix instead of totally sleep training him, would be to prop a pillow or teddy where your hand would be so he feels like your there but your not. Again its not going to fix the whole problem but may be able to get you some sleep for a bit........

DS has been a pretty good sleeper but since 5 days he wakes up through the whole night shouting for me and the moment i lay him down and keep my hand on his back he goes back to sleep. so i wait till he is in a deep sleep and try to sneak out but i don't even get to make 2 steps and he starts shouting again. so i hang almost all night above his bed sleeping with my bum in up and my head on the edge of his cot. it cant be any pain since pain doesn't go away by me just keeping my hand on his back did anybody have this problem? or at least have any advice to end this nightmare.
