When to move baby from cosleeping to own crib

Question

My baby has been co sleeping in bed with us, any other moms doing this? I don't know when to switch her to her crib because I don't think she's ready yet, she has such a hard time being away from me. I guess I'm looking for some kind of signal from her that she's ready but I just dont think we're there yet. She cries whenever I set her down and I tried so many times a couple weeks ago to get her to go down and sleep on her own but nothing ? 
I'm hoping in a couple weeks it'll be better and she can be moved ? When did you guys move your babies ? Are you even thinking about this yet if your co sleeping ? Are you worried about it? Do you think there's any signal that the baby will give you when there ready ? What age do you think most babies are
Ready ? Is it always a difficult transition ? My first baby went on her own from the beginning and was so good at it so I'm a little dumbfounded this time around any advice or personal experiences would be helpful
My baby is 12 weeks old

Answer

I was co sleeping since birth bc he hated his crib until one night when I woke up and I thought he wasn't breathing bc of the way he was positioned. He was fine but he was so deep in sleep that when I moved his head it just flopped over. Scared the hell out of me. So the next night I swaddled him and fed him on the rocking chair rocked him to sleep as I burped him. and he fell asleep ! I put him in his crib and he actually slept in his crib all night. This is now our bedtime routine. I'm rocking him right now. I Give him a few mins to sleep and then it's crib time. The crib is literally next to my bed so I feel more comfortable.

Answer

what you could do, is take the side off the crib and push it up against your bed. put her in that at night/naps, but hold her hand or be close to her, and move a little bit further away every night. That way they get accustomed to it slowly. At least, that's what I'd do. my little one either sleeps in her rock and play next to us, or her crib next to us. I made the mistake of cosleeping with our oldest since she came home from the hospital, and she'll be 3 on the 25th and still sleeps in our bed. She'll sleep in hers until her dad leaves for work at 6am, and then get in bed with me.

My 14 week old hated his bassinet! We cosleep still because I’m nursing and it’s just easier but I put him in his crib for naps and his first sleep of the night before he wakes up to nurse; he’s still waking up every 2 hours or so to eat and I’m back  to work so it’s just going easier.

Answer

That’s bed sharing - co sleeping is when they’re in the same room as you in their own sleep space. 
What I would do honestly is swaddle her in a big T-shirt of yours if you have any. Make sure she’s good and snug!
Start off with naps in the bassinet! 
Also - start sleep association. My LO is 14 weeks and he’s slept in his bassinet since day one.
He slept with me maybe twice and we both had awful sleep. 
He has to have rain sounds played on loud for sleeping, swaddled and the room has to be pitch black. 
He sleeps 9-10 hours a night and has since he was 5 weeks old. 
Also - you can diffuse some lavender oil in the room while she sleeps to help calm her.

Answer

We have a bassinet and our son is 12 weeks. Last week, we started putting him down at 7:15 in his crib (the time we intend on him going to sleep for the night) with a feeding, diaper change, new clothes and swaddle. He usually is so zonked because we are sure to keep him up for at least 2 hours prior. We do tummy time and play to tire him out a bunch. Makes putting him down super easy. When it's time for his 10pm dream feed, we transfer back to the bassinet. I don't feel he is fully ready so thats why we bring him back to our room at 10pm. He also still eats every 2-3 hours so i would like him to go longer between feedings before transition. This way though, he gets use to his crib in some capacity now. At 4 months we plan to fully transition to the crib. We have the owlet sock and will use that to give us peace of mind.

I cosleep and I'm currently trying to get my son in his bassinet for naps now and once he's too big for that I'll do the crib for naps. It's rough, he doesn't wanna be there at all, but I think it'll make the transition to nights in there a little easier. Right now it's just laying in there for 15-20 minutes at a time before nap time and bed until he gets fussy. Then I take him out, feed him, put him to sleep and transfer him back to the bassinet (if he doesn't wake up) and let him sleep there until he wakes up in the morning or for a feed at night. He's 4 months, I plan on keeping him in my room whether it be in bed with me, a pack n play, or moving his crib until he's a year or a year and a half. Studies have shown that co sleeping (in the same room at least) decreases the risk of sids and im all for that
