Co sleeping

Following

I never co slept with my daughter but when I was trying to get her use to sleeping in her crib at night I started with one nap and two naps and eventually when she was comfortable I did the night time. Not sure if this has any value since I didn’t have the same experiences as you. But slowly introducing it did seem to be helpful with the transition in general. Good luck!

Along with the above post, the first nap of the day is the easiest to put them down for. That’s where we started as we did contact naps. I did every sleep training method from singing her to sleep and taking an additional step back out the room every night etc and that may have helped but it wasn’t until I let her cry it out which I tried several times and eventually just let her cry for 15 minutes while I cried and since then she’s slept on her own. Every phase/regression has its own bumps in the road but majority wise she sleep on her own with no problem. Soothers helps which are a pain ish now lol and stuffies for self soothing. Once they fall asleep on their own they know how to self soothe and can put themselves back to sleep. I honestly wouldn’t of sleep trained if she hadn’t had to go to daycare but it was for her so she was comfortable there and peace of mind for me while I was at work that she was happy and comfortable.

I’ve been cosleeping with my daughter as well and we use to lay her down in there for naps but now since she’s older she will not since the crib has to be lowered to the bottom she hates it. So tonight I turned her crib into the toddler bed by taking the front rail off and raised the mattress back up level with our bed and I have put right up against our bed. This is our first time doing this so I’m hoping it works!

I put him to sleep in my bed and transfer him over to his once he is like for real asleep.

I sing him to sleep. I gently hold him and rock him in cradle position.... And I very slowly " pour" him into the crib ....

Once he is very passed out

We have been bedsharing and room sharing both from the start

I co slept with my son until he was about 5.5 months and it’s very hard moving them to a crib but what I found was so helpful was a baby camera that had lullabies and also big helper is give them a bath before bed time to wire him down and let him be on the bed playing with some toys then when he’s ready put him in the crib but stay with him for comfort like hold his hand or brush his hair on his foreahed with your hand and give him a bottle to drink while he sleeps and once he’s asleep and take it away but make sure no light hits him and if he sleeps with tv on lower the volume down to minimum volume 10 , hopefully this helps you too ❤️
