Independence?

So far I have been using mainly attachment/natural parenting when it comes to my son, but last night I just felt like I had enough.


It was 1:30 in the morning, he refused to sleep and just wanted to lie there kicking me and flinging his arms around, and trying to sneak in a breastfeed and I was completely over it. I started fantasising about getting him his own bed and just closing the door for his room at night and leaving him to it...


It's daytime now and that's when I usually become free of these awful thoughts that really are akin to child abuse (leaving them to cry it out until they throw up or are just plain traumatised), but still the thought of buying him his own bed is lingering...


I like this one from Ikea because you can use it upside down for when the kids are little so they don't fall out, and then tip it so that it's like this with a play area underneath for when they're bigger!

Just looked it up at the US site and it's half the price it is here in Australia though :( Odd, since it's made in China right? And shipping to Australia should be cheaper! Wonder if this comes in a full size single bed and not a toddler bed...
