I have co slept with my son since the day I brought him home and I absolutely love it, but now is is almost 9 months now and he is turning into a crazy sleeper he crawls in his sleep he's just everywhere on the bed, of course I'm extra cautious it still makes me nervous tho. So I think it's time I introduce him to his crib, I already know it's going to be hard having him sleep in it... any suggestions on what I can do to help him out when I lay him in there to sleep?
My son is only 3 months old BUT i rock him to sleep, hold him for maybe 30 minutes while he sleeps and then i lay him in his own bed and he stays there until he wakes up, early in the morning to eat and be changed and then we co sleep for 3-5 hours. I NEVER let him start out in my bed, if he starts the night out on my bed i can never move him to his bed and have him stay there. So maybe just try rocking him to sleep and holding him for a bit and then lay him down.
I used to lay with them until they fell asleep and then transfer them to crib and put a blanket that smelled like me in with them. I would always have them nap in crib and if they would cry I would go in and lay them back down and pay them until they closed their eyes and sneak back out. It's a long transition for some kids and their will be tears but just adapt and see what works for you. Good luck mama
I just transitioned my 8 month old daughter into her play pen in our room at night and it was hard at first. She screamed alot the first night and i gave in a few nights but she then started sleeping all night or would wake up for a bottle and lay in the play pen while eating. she now sleeps in it every night and naps in her crib. I put cartoons on at night before bed and let her play in her play pen for a little while so she can tire herself out.
Start with having him take naps in his crib. Have a blanket or something that smells like you so he can snuggle with it. If he cries just go into the room lay him back down and tell him you love him then walk out. It's how I transitioned my daughter. It will be hard hearing him cry but with you going back into the room and laying him back down not picking him up it will work in the long run. Just remind him that you love him every so often and that he's ok. Eventually he will figure out that he's just going to sleep in the crib and then when he wakes up mama will come to play with me.
@desssss, I am in the same boat. I'm interested to see some of these answers too.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

okay I can't be mad at him right now. he moves alot in his sleep and isn't really supportive during my pregnancy but he moved like this while he is asleep and it's just one of those moments that make it all worth it. arian started kicking his hand.

This is my son Walter. Today is his birthday. He would have been five. This picture was taken when he was 16 days old. He was my first child and my only son (I now have 3 girls). He passed away the next day after this picture from congenital heart failure. It was a miracle that he lived passed 12 weeks gestation because of how severe his heart defects were. I miss him so much, I can't believe it's been 5 years. It still hurts so bad. I don't talk about him a lot out loud because I end up bawling...
Who else has financial issues within their relationship?? Or am I just lucky 🙄🙄
Not sure if I'm being just mean or what. But my SO used $160 from me this morning. I gave him my bank card because he needed $60 to get material for work. His boss was going to give it back to him at the end of the day. So instead of $60 he took out $160. Which I was a little pissed. (One of the reasons I just can't let him use my card. I have to go get the money from the atm myself if I'm giving it to him) then, to...
I did the same thing with my twins
Honestly once my kids fell asleep I'd put them on the playpen I never used the crib because they would hit their head on it really hard
