We haven’t even laid her down yet. I remember the first night my 3 year old slept in her bed earlier this year instead of with me, I bawled my eyes out. My baby is so attached and nurses to pacify so much through the night lately and I’m just absolutely a zombie. My husband is supportive of whatever I want to do… I just need sleep 😞 I never sleep trained my oldest, I was a single mom. She just slowly naturally kind of grew out of sleeping with me, it wasn’t a big thing for her.

I know my baby CAN fall asleep without nursing because she’ll cry for a bit but fall asleep on my husband on the rare occasion that the opportunity arises.

I’m having so much anxiety that I’m going to fuck up her trust in me to comfort her.

Anyone have any advice?

Update: she did AWESOME. Didn’t cry for 20 minutes after I put her down, I nursed her before and she was drowsy but not asleep, and settled right in. She cried for about a minute and then quiet for about 5 minutes, for probably an hour, but I would tell it wasn’t a distressed cry, just settling in. When my husband and I snuck in to bed, I cried for a few minutes. He handled the comforting of the baby and me and she woke up several times fussing but drifted back off to sleep after only 30 seconds or so. I made it until 6 am when I finally picked her up because my boobs were exploding 😂 he said he was very proud of both of us. 🥰
