Re: operation bed separation is not going well
I wonder if it might help to just change one thing (either the no night nursing or the new bed situation, but not both at once?) for me, personally, the night nursing was the thing I had to take care of for my sleep to improve. Night weaning (we did it once when he was like 14 months old where DH was in charge from 11 pm to 6 AM and I slept in another room, and that took about a week and he never got that upset at all with DH; then I came back in the room and he mostly stuck to not nursing after I nursed him to sleep until maybe 4-5 AM, so a good 7-8 hour stretch and night but he was still sleeping between DH and I. He weaned at around 26 months completely). All that to say the night weaning worked for the most part but I don't think DS was ready to be out of our room at that age. Every kid is totally unique in this of course but DS (6.5) still sleeps with us (well, he did when I was sleeping in the room with DH- I moved myself out into the queen bed in DDs room when I was 8 months pregnant with her and DS and DH still sleep together now in our big bed in master bedroom while I'm with DD in her room). So I have no advice for getting your DS to sleep in his own room, but if the night nursing is the main thing interrupting your sleep, I wonder if you could start with that?
Also... I totally have been in your shoes when you think wow! We are really turning a corner/I found the solution to this sleep thing..... And then yeah. It doesn't stick. Super frustrating. Sorry that happened to you.
