Co sleeping

I just honestly don’t know what to do anymore. I co slept since baby was like 3 months and we are almost at 8 and we are able to get him in crib now which is nice I get most of my nighttime back to myself to relax blah blah but the real issue I have is the massive anxiety and sadness from NOT co sleeping next to my son. I was suppose to catch on my sleep tonight because my milk supply is dropping and I laid here for 3 hours ( the crib is next to my bad) but I physically cannot fall asleep the pillows aren’t comfortable nothing is working what do I even do? Like I don’t wanna have it to where he won’t sleep by himself ever but now I can barely sleep by myself

I’m sure it’s a very hard transition. But just remember sleep safety is so important and if your baby adapted well then that’s great ! Take it day by day. I co sleep with my 1 year old the second half of the night. But the first part of the night he is in his crib. Maybe that’s something you can consider !

It’s tough for me to he’s gonna be 2😭 he sleeps good alone but not me lol even if he walked up he comes straight to me and ofc I put him in our bed husband doesn’t like it lol

@Shynel literally same here

I have a 2 y/o and 7 m/o. They both Sleep in their own separate rooms. Yes it is a tough transition. I still hardly get sleep but it’s just your body being used to normally waking up every few hours and being on alert not allowing you to fall into a deep sleep due to safety reasons. It’ll take some time but you’ll get there. 💞 Try buying some new pillows. Costco has this body pillows that is cooling that I justt went and bought and bouiii I’ve been sleeping so good! You deserve to have the space and comfort and allow yourself to detach for a little bit. Again, I know it’s hard. My girls sleep 12hrs straight and I miss them but at the same time, do what’s best for you. 💞

I co slept with my eldest til she was two she went into her own bed cause her sister was being woken up when I was trying to get her to sleep (her sister was only a few weeks old and she was very excited) It took a week to get her to sleep all night without me I don’t think I noticed much cause I was up half the night feeding her sister
