Aww, Tyne is actually like this already - when I lay with him he snuggles in and smiles at me, and literally falls asleep within seconds. When his Dad does the exact same thing - he either cries, or just lays there kicking around but will NOT fall asleep.

At the moment I just find it cute that i'm his favourite, but I do think it upsets Jon a bit - but I think its just a phase. Its sad for Jon but its not my fault and so I plan to just enjoy it coz when he's a teenager and I'm the biggest embarrassment in his life I'll pine for these days lol

But Deborah, this is only him on the sofa! When we bring him upstairs he goes straight in his cot and only comes in with us if he wakes in the night.

It doesn't explain why he'll fall asleep with me but not Chris :/ x

I had this with my Ethan, and he was the only one I ever co-slept with. He wouldn't leave my side, he was my constant baby duck. It's like...I was his comfort instead of him finding his own. It was exhausting and frustrating but I figured it was my doing at the end of it all. Because I never wanted him anywhere else but with me.
Now with my younger children I've learned, and not co-slept and they have all self settled with no problems. I'm not against co-settling, I'm all for it in some cases {as I was with my premmy, and as you have been with C} but it could also just be a coincidence, but you never know, it may be playing a part. x
