Has anyone gone from bed sharing to baby sleeping in cot and found a method that works?
My 11 month old likes to be near me sleeping on the bed and when I attempt to put in the cot, can only be put in once asleep and if I try to put baby in awake will kick off.

I went from co sleeping to getting him a floor bed at 10 months and was the best thing I done! I can cuddle him to sleep and get in with him in the night to settle him. He’s 17 months now and has never attempted to get off the bed, if he wakes he sits in the bed waiting for us x

My little boy was the same! I did invest in a sleep coach which helped us. Its been nearly 5 weeks and he now loves his cot and slept through the night last night🥳.
It was done in stages so put baby in cot awake and hold him until he falls asleep and gradually reduce your support until hes happy to fall asleep by himself in the cot.

Another vote for a floor bed. So much easier to get little one to sleep and then roll away. Just make sure the room is child safe in case they are a night waker and get out of bed!
