Still co sleeping ??
My son is 9 mo now and he still co sleeps with me. (His dad works overnight) I want to transition him to his crib but every time I put him down to sleep, he cries and screams until I put him in our bed. I hate hearing him cry. Is there anything I can do to get him to fall asleep in his crib? Are there any resources that can help??
My son has always slept with me! I just started this week putting him in his crib (he moves around way to much now I don't get any sleep) I've tried in the past but he hated it and would cry and cry. I found giving him a little more bottle and having it completely dark in the room with the door shut has worked. He cried for about 30 mins the first night , 5 the second and didn't cry at all last night when I put him in. I make sure when he takes naps I put him in there as well so he gets used to it. Your best thing I think is to let him cry it out the first night and stick to it
We have been co sleeping as well and I really want my space I've just been putting him in there awake and he may not fall asleep bit is getting used to being in there after he falls asleep I out him in there and he usually wakes up in the night and I get him a drink of water and he sometimes goes back to sleep sometimes not I think it's a process and he's been in the crib a lot more lately
I guess you waited to long for the transition... I think it will be easier to wait until he is 18 months and you start transitioning to his toddler bed, if you don't want him to cry... I'm like you ... it breaks my heart to hear my girls cry, that's why I didn't cosleep, I did with my older daughter and I better don't tell you when she finally slept through the night by herself in her room, because you are going to hate me if I tell you ?
We're trying to stop co sleeping right now too . The only way I can get her in her crib was to push the crop up next to my bed she still wakes up at night and wants in my bed ? just taking it night by night
