So I moved my LO to her own crib around 7 months after she co-slept with us from about 4 months on. I took off the front of her crib and slid it next to my bed so I could nurse her to sleep.. did this for about a week and then put the front back on. I still nursed her to sleep but then I would move her into her crib. Moved the crib father and father away. She actually started to love sleeping on her stomach and having her own space. I thought it was going to be HELLLL bc we were attached but I think since I did it slowly she did pretty well. Now I can’t even get to sleep with me even if I tried. She’s still in our room but she sleeps in the crib the whole night unless she’s sick, or in the mood to cuddle with me.
No more co-sleeping
How many mommies and daddies had a hard time stopping co-sleeping? Oh my well let me explain my biggest mistake my husband told me he did not want to co sleep however I did it any way because after having my daughter breastfeeding and being in a lot of pain after having her I could barely move to get her in and out the bassinet(it took me a whole 5weeks to recover) and my husband had to go back to work and when he was home he sleep like a hibernating bear...so yes I started the problem of her sleeping with us because I felt it was easier on my sore body...last night we made her get back in her bassinet and oh she gave us pure hell we got NO sleep because she would not lay down she even stood up and tried rolling in the bed with us...I know this will not be a easy process but I hope it get easier...any suggestions from mommies who went through this...

Had one rough night 😉

See that’s great though!!! The first few nights are usually the hardest! Lucky you only
Sh
And see that was my biggest fear because we are so attached the only other person she will stay with is her dad and sometimes her god parents...but she actually has started crying and pointing at her bed when she wants to take a nap or go to bed...the first night was hell but we should have known that it would be because she wasn’t use to it
it was not that hard for us to get her out of our bed. It took time & consistency. The first night we had her sleep in her PNP I made sure she was warm (pjs, in a sleep sack)& she didn’t wake up (idk if we got lucky or what lol). Graco PNP make quilted fitted sheets (it’s safe) and they are amazing. Good luck mama 💜

Thanks I tried to tell my husband about the pnp but he so stuck on getting a bed for her but I told him he has to take steps but I think I’m going to buy the pack and play and get her a bed...once she went to sleep she was snoring but she woke up through the night and cried for about 5-10mins...I know it’s going to be a need for consistency so I’m ready for the challenge
How old is your baby? I thought I read she tried to stand up and roll into bed with you? In that case baby is far too old for a bassinet. Try a pack n play next to the bed or transition her into a crib in another room.

However we do plan to get her sleeping in her own room soon

Yes she is to old for her bassinet she is 8months...we are getting her a bed today when my husband get off...
