Co-sleeping to crib

My baby is almost 4 month old and we have been co sleeping since he was born. My husband does shift work and it’s just been the easiest for us. Lately my husband has been not wanting to do co sleeping anymore and wants to start putting him in the crib, but we are having a rough time. He absolutely HATES his crib. Any tricks or advice??

Have your husband sleep somewhere else..

try a bassinet that attaches to the bed and just scoot him onto it and then transition to the crib after that?

or we do a pack n play in the room and put it right next to the bed for our twins

Im co sleeping with my 3.5 month old son as well. I have his crib set up in our room and I will be soon transitioning him there. Any tips or tricks would be appreciated! FYI I have a bassinet beside the bed but he HATES it lol.

I’m also planning on doing the transition soon, so posting if there is any advice. I’ve been really against trying sleep training but I think that’s the route I’m going to take. Cosleeping stresses me out and she will not sleep in her bassinet.

Stay consistent and keep trying, naps in the crib during the day, and at night I’ll lay a heating pad down in the crib, during bath time, to make it extra cozy. Just always check the temperature of the crib before laying baby down! I try to put baby down when she’s just fallen asleep in my arms, not completely asleep, it helps them fall asleep & self soothe on their own. You might have to try a couple times before it sticks and it might not work the first few nights but you just gotta keep trying and know that eventually they’ll learn ♥️

@Ashley I didn’t want to sleep train either I was against it but i did it over the weekend for naps and it’s slowly working! I used a program but I can send you some screenshots if you would like !

@Ashleigh that would be awesome if you wouldn’t mind!
