I have a 13 month old who is used to co-sleeping and nursing to sleep. Has anyone had any luck weaning off the nursing to sleep while co-sleeping? I also don’t want to do the cry-it-out cold turkey method.

Yes, I’ve done it. It takes a lot of patience and love almond milk has worked the best with me and what you do is you let them lay on your chest to start out and hold the hand so that you still get that comfort

I feel for you I had the same problem. Having my husband or family member help get my child down was nice cause the child knows nursing is not an option with them. We also gave a toddler formula or did mix of milk and healthy chocolate milk right before bed so they’re full. We used soothing music too. On days where we took the child to the pool, beach or something active also helps cause they will be sleepy at end of day (I know this isn’t always possible). It will get better! My son now sleeps on his own
