Contemplating transitioning
Show your support
We got a floor bed. I put LO down and lay with him til he’s asleep and then go downstairs and have my evening then go to bed with my partner. After his first wake up I join him in the floor bed until morning. And I’ll be completely honest I love co sleeping and struggle to sleep without him next to me anyway, I sleep so much better with him. I too felt pressured to get him to sleep without me and sleep train. But I just think one day he won’t sleep with me anymore and I’ll have years of evenings to myself and sleeping next to my partner. And the thought that just makes me want to soak it up even more!! I think it’s common to be torn between the two
I have no intention of stopping co sleeping until I can talk to my daughter about it, and work with her on it. I couldn’t think of anything worse than her suddenly being put away from me and her having no idea why😢🩷 there are so many positives to co sleeping, just do what’s best for you girly. At the end of the day… the only people who it impacts is you, your child and your partner so forget what everyone else says or thinks ♥️
My daughter is 2.5 and we still co sleep. The only reason i’ve ever considered stopping is because of what other people think. Different circumstances though as I’m single. She also often doesn’t go to sleep until 9ish either so i don’t mind going to bed and reading then, on the odd night that she will go to sleep at a reasonable time, I tend to bring her onto the sofa until i go upstairs because she also wakes within an hour if i’m not there. She has a bed in her own room which she will nap in, i ask her every now and then if she wants to sleep in it at night and she says no. I’m letting her decide when she is ready for the move x
This is exactly me, how old is your baby? Mine is 7 months. I'm constantly like this. I don't know what to do for the best. I don't know when to transition. I'll probably do it around 9/10 months. But will it be harder then? Who knows.
