Bed sharing & transitions
Hello mommas. So my daughter is 8 nearly 9 months old. And for over a month she sleeps with me and my partner. She went through a bad sleep regression and it was just easier so we all got sleep.
Anyways it’s come to the point I can’t even get her to sleep half an hour in her crib and she’s not even spent a night in her own room. Has anyone gone through this and how did you transition. I’m not interested in sleep training I just need to advice xx

Hey I had the same struggle I started off with some day naps in her cot first then gradually built it up more, we would always put her in her cot at the start of the night but when she wakes try to settle her from being beside the cot rather than getting her out each time. . My little girl also sleeps with my top over her mattresses which helps her settle and seams happier
I’m in the same boat and considering dropping a night feed and the advice ^
In the same situation so no advice sorry! What we’ve been doing is persisting putting him in cot in evening. He will sometimes do an hour ish, sometimes wake up straight away. Then when I actually want to sleep I just bring him into the bed so we can still have an okay night
We had to stay at my mums for around 10 days and I had to bed share. Before that he would be fine in his cot (although he’s never slept through) but yesterday was our first night back and it was absolute hell! Pretty sure I was up min 20 times and sometimes every 20-30 mins he was waking up. I don’t know how I got through today tbh!
However, I am persevering and he done really well with his naps today and I’m hoping tonight is a better night.
I feel like although the first few nights may be tough, it should get easier! Don’t give in (easier said than done I know) - still give all the cuddles but once she’s asleep put her back in the cot. Good luck mumma!
