First of all co sleeping with a child is 1 dangerous and 2 damaging to a marriage because having a child in bed really kills the intimacy. The child needs to be in their own bed in their own room. I never really got why anyone would want to sleep with their child in their bed, is it because you are too (tired) to get out of bed every time they wake up? Second of all show some respect for your husband and let him sleep. You could have taken the child to another room, he’s right you can nap when the child naps your husband can’t. As far a weaning the toddler off the breast you are soooooo right if they are biting then it becomes a health risk. There is a lot of bacteria in everyone’s mouth so if the child bites and brakes your skin you risk infection not to mention a lot of pain. You can always pump and put in sippy cup so they can still get the benifits from breast milk without the breast. It may even help with the weaning process when they realize they get the same thing out of a sippy cup as they do you.
No co sleeping with a baby or toddler.!No TV at night! Have a routine after dinner that your husband and child can enjoy together just the 2 of them.
She should take care of the baby at night so he can sleep. She is home all day and can nap with baby if she needs to!
Whatever happened to the child sleeping alone?? That is what cribs are for!
I am a doula and a lactation consultant. My recommendation would be to work on daytime weaning first. Also, you can fix biting issues by firmly removing the child from the breast and saying a firm no when he/she bites.
What’s wrong with the child having their own bed in their own room?
Your husband should be able to get a full nights sleep!!! Give your toddler a bottle if he wakes
Up during the night and put him in his own bed…
I am having trouble believing this post is real. Your husband has to work so you can be with the baby. Hire someone for a couple hours a day to babysit and to bottle feed this baby while you sleep. This will not last forever.
The sole responsibility of supporting your family financially is now on your husbands shoulders. Let him get a nights sleep.
If put in his own room bed even in your room if u have to make sure he had snack and drink before bed and put in bed tell noght night keep t
Room dark just a night light what I did my kid stand up cry I let cry every 5 min I go in lay down tell night night did not take out crib at all a day n half later she knew crib was sleep time
She’s a stay at home. She can nap when the toddler takes a nap.
Why is a/the toddler in your bed? Bad habit. Your husband is correct…, especially since you have confirmed how he helps everywhere else. I think you have a gem of a husband…Treat him liken a king, and you will be his queen…I know I will get a rash of crap for making that statement…
If he is working outside home…he needs sleep… maybe he can help in evenings when he come home so you can sleep?
You should put your child in his own bed and give him a bottle or cup when needed he needs to be weaned from the bed and breast feeding
Why is this child still in your bed? Don’t you realize they are never going to wean off your breast until you wean them away from the beast, like down the hall in their own room and bed. Your husband is also a big baby for not understanding you wouldn’t mind a good night’s sleep too.
I agree with husband! I understand you too. I was a stay at home mom too and breastfeed all 5 of mine.
But it was ok when he wanted sex in the middle of the night that brought the little one to your bed🤯right🤦♀️
Your toddler should be sleeping in his own bed not yours.
Thje baby should be in his own bed and room first and foremost; give him a bottle before bed time and depending on his age, maybe a couple teaspoons of cereal mixed with water. Your husband does deserve his sleep.
Get a bottle. That’s why I used bottles. Put in their own bed and teach them independence
Why are you getting up with your toddler in the middle of the night? By3-5 months he should be sleeping through the night in his own crib not your bed. You need to teach him to go back to sleep in the middle of the night by letting him fuss until he goes back to sleep. It takes a few nights to listen to him cry for a minute or two. but you will be surpriseed that in a week he will not wake up to be fed. Get him out of your bed. You will all sleep better.
Be more considerate. He gets up and goes to work every day to support his family. Does he ask you to work for him? Someone said…the idea that you’re solely responsible for the child at night is inequitable…then so the fact that he’s soley required to make the money to support the home and family is also inequitable. Showing consideration to your partner is a direct reflection of your love for him. If you are home raising baby how hard would it have been for you to get up and go in the other room? Do you realize because you didnt want to be inconvenienced you chose to inconvenience him and tried to make him feel bad for being angry about it. Thats wrong.
My question….why would a toddler still be breast feeding? Just asking!
Toddler should be sleeping in their own bed not with mom and dad.
He should help if you had a full time job but your not working. Quit complaining and get that child in his own bed. Might have a couple of rough nights but that’s on you not your husband.
Why would you turn on the TV in the middle of the night? To try to teach your toddler that middle of the night is play time? He shouldn’t be waking to eat or drink in the night anyway - most babies can sleep through the night by 4 months at the latest. Tell him to go back to bed and be done with it. And put him in his own crib or bed for crying our loud.
Why does the child sleep with you?
Why is the child in your bed…? Sounds like child is running the show…
The baby should be sleeping in his own bed from the very beginning.
Get that baby out of your bed and in his own room before something devastating happens. Then take turns getting up to take care of him.
Being a stay at home mom myself I can honestly say you lose more sleep than the family member working. It’s not pick and choose when you sleep it’s be grateful when you get a straight 3 hours of sleep. Your husband having an issue with you trying to wean your baby and complaining about the tv seems odd to me. My husband understands that being a mom is a 24/7 job and he tells me that having the tv on for our kids is fine. We cosleep and he’s never been bothered by the kids waking up and playing. You need to sit down with him and discuss a game plan because if it bothers him that much then it’ll cause more issues later on. Hopefully you can find a compromise but don’t let him be disrespectful to you because you’re trying to get your kid situated and that comes first.
Knee him, the nuts in the middle of the night when the baby wakes up.
They should be in their own bed and room.
1.Why doesn’t your child sleep in it’s own room/bed.
2. You were awake anyway so why not take your child to the front room.
First and foremost you made your child together. He needs to realize that raising a child is the toughest job in the world. It is you that needs his help with getting the child off of the breast. The child knows that dad doesn’t nurse should make it easier for the breaking away of the breast. Dad do your fair share. How about during the week mom takes said toddler into another room until they go to sleep and Friday Saturday and Sunday dad has his turn.
States are starting to pass bills about co sleeping because of the death rates. It is no longer acceptable to say it was an accident if a child dies while co sleeping… why because you get educated before you even leave the hospital. I just read an article where a woman was sentenced to 10 years for her baby dying while co sleeping
I’d MOVE INTO the child’s room.
No, not at nite. And take him out of bedroom. Sometimes we as women and mothers under certain circumstances have to take over. That’s part of being a mother. Sorry if I stepped on anyone’s toes. Read the article of mine first before making a judgement call.
Time to put your child in his own room at night to sleep.
You want to wean put toddler in their own bed.
Dad should definitely help out it should be a two-way street
As a toddler the child should be sleeping through the night,without being fed.Plus should be sleeping in its own room
Your toddler should be sleeping alone.
First of all he is way oast the age to sleep in parents bed, hubby needs rest, so the nicest thing you can do is take him to his own bed, if he cant skeep then dont give him naps late in the day
Sorry take the baby out of the marital bed. Go to the babies room and sleep there. Hubby can’t take a nap at work.
He helped get the child here so he should help in the raising of the child. Whatever that entails.
when my son woke up and I was exhausted and did not hear him I would get an elbow to my back to get him.My husband had his own company and could work and sleep when he felt like it. Had 4 kids with him all he wanted to do was fun things with them
He should be in his own bed. He is too old yo be sharing your bed. Ne is right, you should deal with the child as he has to get up for work, you don’t
Wow so many comments saying the child should be in its own room…wondering how many of them are actually breastfeeding mothers🤔
The child should have always had his own bed!
Sorry you need to be training him to sleep in his own bed plus drink from a sippy cup. He does not belong in the bed with you.
1 st. Off , get the kid out of your Bed, I speak from experience 
There’s a short 10-15 min. Movie that shows U how and what to do to get a child to sleep by himself.
It’s Tuff Love on Parents, Gr. parents and child.
BUT IT WORKS. Takes 3-4 nights. 15-20 min. Session to go through
My Daughters used this.
Plus R U going to put child on a Bottle.
If not , give them a sip before BEDTIME from a snippy cup, put them in bed. Walk away, tell them Mommy & Daddy have to go to bed…
Also Put your child to bed at8-8:30 ,no later. U need a break too.
First and foremost get your child out of your bed!
OMG if he is a toddler he needs to be off of the breast and into his on room. Keep pushing the sippy cup.
Your 2 year old should be in his own bed and sleep all night!
Your husband or your child should get his own room .Your choice.
I don’t think this lady’s husband got the memo that parenthood equals lack of sleep. He needs to kindly remove his tampon and recognize that being a stay at home mom is also a full time job, and his wife deserves a full night of sleep as well. They should be taking turns getting up with their child.
What is wrong with just telling the child no breastfeeding. If they are old enough to watch TV and understand then just say NO. Go into the living room and let him cry or whatever until he realizes that he isn’t getting his way.
Why is your toddler sleeping with you anyway
Child needs its own designated area to sleep.
The child should be in his own room and his own bed.
TV is a stimulant not a good habit…
Get that kid in his crib where you all can sleep!
Your toddler should be sleeping in it’s own bed.
You lost me at sharing abed with a toddler… let him get used to his own bed and learn to sleep by himself.
Babies and toddlers should not be sleeping every night in their parent’s bed! Very unsafe!
- don’t co sleep. 2) don’t ‘distract’ your child with playing or tv as your child will then always want to wake up in the middle of the night for those very items.
Here’s a thought put the child in his or hers own room!!
Need to put the kid in his own room to old to be co sleeping if he cry’s he will stop and go to sleep. I was a full time stay at home mom it is a lot of work. Breakdown your day to husband or better yet leave him with the kid all day on a Saturday when he is in charge trust me that will be the last day he see you only taking care of the child
Its his child too, he sounds like an old school selfish a hole!
Your child should not be sleeping with you. The onger you wait to get him in his own room, the worse it will be!!!
Tell him to grow up. He will live with loosing an hour or two.
Why is a toddler sleeping in your bed? Put that child in his own room before you destroy your marriage.
Why no end the co sleeping, taking child away from smell of breasts?
If it’s time to wean, they don’t need middle of the night liquids. Get your child a bed of it’s own.
You should put your toddler in its own bed
Why would the children be sleeping with you?
You batter not have any mor kids if you can’t make it now
Get the child his own bed and room!!?
Why are you training your child to watch TV at 3 am!?!?!? Is this a routine you plan on keeping?
If they have teeth they need to be weaned immediately!
Why are you letting him sleep in your bed? That is totally stupid. They have their own place to sleep and it is not in your bed. Secondly, you could suffocate him in your sleep…why would you be willing to do that?
WOW! I am not going to even read the comments because I can see the writing on the wall, so to speak. You see I am 61 years old & finished with raising 3 Girls into grown women behind me. I was a stay at home mom (RARE for my time too) while my husband went off to work. Our girls are all College Grads, have highly successful jobs, & now have families of their own. I speak from experience, so take it or leave it…first of all, never start anything in a marriage without discussing the follow through or expectations on each person part (communication). Otherwise, once you start something, even if you are being nice about it, it becomes YOUR JOB & will be expected of you al the time because you always did it before without complaint. Your partner is left with ‘why are you complaining now for what was working out just fine with both of us before’ so to speak. As a new mom, your position is being negated as menial. I use this word on purpose. This is the Dictionary’s Definition " A servant, especially a domestic servant." INTERESTING, RIGHT! I use the dictionary quite often because some words we use are not correctly put in sentences. Most people believe Menial is trivial or not important…WELL, it is servitude! Is that what your husband is thinking of you? Time to change the Record Girlfriend! It takes 2 to make a child, it takes 2 to raise them, & it takes 2 to keep them happy & healthy! If mom is not happy & healthy, who suffers? You? Your husband? Or your newborn? Better to have a tag team than only one doing it all! We are Grandparents now! Our Grandchildren BEG to stay overnight with us & they are just 2 & 3! Think about that…children that age usually do not want to be away from their own beds!
If single mothers can do it this lady should be able to so it too
Child need their own bed in their own room…
Shouldn’t a toddler already be weaned off by now?
Either get the child his own room or go into another room so as not to wake up daddy since he has to get up early .
LISTEN to your husband! Place toddler in his own room and let your husband get the sleep he needs. No TV or electronics for toddlers.
Why isn’t toddler in his/her own bed at night? Child should not be sleeping with either or both parents. Mother of 3.
How old is he?? Wean him and him in his own bed!
Put your toddler in his own bed
How old is this toddler??
A man is not a man if he can’t get up with a child! Suck it up brothers! How would you like to be around the kids 24-7?
Tell your hubby to man up and do his job as a father!
He’s right. If you choose to “co-sleep” , you should go in the other room.
Right to a point,if he has to get up for work then she should take him in another room,my opinion
You shouldn’t turn the tv on because the light interrupts sleep cycles.
Give that child a cup and put it in it’s on bed. Just let him cry. He will stop.
Who’s the baby your husband or toddler
Well your first mistake is co sleeping.
