Make sure he takes a full feeding from you. I woudl tickle my daughter, apply wet washcloth to her forehead.... to what I needed to do to make sure she got a full nursing.

Change his diaper in the middle... that always wakes them up.

And when the feeding is done, swaddle him tight and put him down. If he's truly full, he should go down.

I don't know what else to suggest... my babies never slept in bed with me (I was seriously afraid I would roll over and crush them with my girth!) but I wish you luck.

Ha! I was just going through this myself with my now 5 week old. Changing his diaper in the middle of the feeding is a good one, and works. And just knowing hes going to wake up as soon as you put him down helps...As soon as he falls asleep, lay him down so you can get on with your feeding....And back to your precious sleep! Good luck!

I tried not to let our baby girl sleep in bed with us, and now she is nearly 5 months and still in our bed lol. I think it is down to me being lazy and when she wakes up I just attach her and go back to sleep 3 to 4 times a night sometimes less sometimes more. I am looking forward to next month when she starts solids. Hopefully that will help her sleep more through the night. We are also going to transition her into her own room in December because she is rolling around now and our bed is getting smaller and smaller lol. Good luck with keeping your son to bed after feeds, something I do to put lexi down initially is if she is fed and wakes up after I put her down, I pat her back (when she was younger I would swaddle her and lie her on her side and just keep my hand on her so she would know I wad there. Hope you find what works!

I have no suggestions on how to stp it but i have one that may give you a bit of an insentive to not let him sleep in the bed with you.
When my little sister was teething my mother would put her in bed with her to be able to comfort her and feed her with out having to get up every 5min because of the pain
My sis is now 2 1/2 years old and still sleeps in mums bed.
And to make it worse she was born when my brother was 9 he used to get into mums bed every night it wasn't til my sis came along that he stopped and that was because of there not being enough space as they all sleep spread right out!
Hope that helps you!
