Co-sleeping
Has anyone successfully managed to go from co-sleeping to getting their little one back in their own bed?
Our little boy was always a great sleeper until nearly a year ago. He started getting up in the middle of the night to seek comfort from me and because I was pregnant, I started co-sleeping with him rather than have the battle of putting him back as he'd just run after me. Hes always been great at going to bed alone and we have a good routine in terms of this. Last night I decided it was time to try get him sleeping alone again and he managed until about 3:30am which is great! Better than I expected anyway. I know it was just our first try but any tips for getting him to stay in his own bed? I remember my dad used to escort me back to my own bed straight away 😂 but I didn't put up a fight like our toddler does. Hes had a night light for ages, he has teddies for comfort, it's his own space etc.

@Nikki that's a great idea and definitely worth a shot. Where did you get the alarm clock from please? X
https://amzn.eu/d/4gVkgA6 That's the one we've got. There are other clocks on Amazon that are cheaper but don't know how they compare. I do recommend this one though. X
@Nikki thank you! 😊

I could have written this myself last year. We got a little alarm clock that you can set different colours so we did 'red for bed, green time to get up'. When he'd get up at night we'd put him back in his own bed saying 'red for bed' and pointing to the clock. It's not an overnight success as nothing is with our lo's but it worked really well and within a few days he was staying in bed. He's often awake before it goes green but most of the time he stays in his room until it's time to get up. X
