How can I stop co sleeping? 15 months

Question

Okay so I know I should have never started it but around the time he was 9 month we were in the middle of a move and he ended up sleeping in bed with us one time , then turned in to him sleeping in our bed part of the night when he’d wake up and by the end of that week he refused to sleep anywhere other then our bed . He’s now 15 month and I’m 14 weeks pregnant he takes up the whole bed all night and me and my husband have not been able to sleep next to each other in will over 6 months now 😳😭 I can’t take it anymore HE NEEDS TO SLEEP IN HIS CRIB ... I’ve tried the cry it out and fail horribly at it because he would literally be up screaming all night if I’d let him, I’ve tried putting him in the crib after he’s asleep he wakes right up and refuses to even let us put him in the crib... I really have no idea of how to break this habit and to a point I love cuddling him at night but me and my husband need our bed back before this becomes never ending 😭😭 PLEASE HELP ME

If you’re on Facebook, join respectful sleep training/learning. It was a total game changer for me. They have tons of sleep training methods from extinction to the lady shuffle (I think that’s what it’s called) for people who prefer more gentle ways of training. But no matter what you choose you have to be consistent. Good luck!

I went through that with my son when we moved six months ago he was 9 months old at the time and never slept in his own bed a day in his life. When we moved I tired everything I could think of but then one night I found out if I laid him in his bed and sat in a chair next to it where he was able to hold my hand he would fall asleep after about 20 min of laying in bed and it took about a week of doing that  then finally I was able to lay him down and tell him I loved him and to have sweet dreams and he would go to sleep on his own.....He is now 15 months old and sleeps in his own bed every nap or bedtime   It takes patience and time but you can do mama 🥰

Answer

You don't have to do cry it out, but you will have to pick some sleep training method & stick to it. Research "gentle sleep training" if you don't want to do a traditional sleep training method & then pick what you think will work best with your kiddo & parenting style. Come up with a plan & then stick to it. I believe most sleep training methods say to be consistent for 2 weeks & then of it's still not working, try something new; however, with some of the gentler methods, it may be longer.
Good luck. I know the feeling of desperation when it comes to your little's sleep, hopefully you get your bed back soon.

Answer

Start by laying a toddler mattress next to your bed and have him sleep there. Then slowly but surely move the mattress towards the door. Then the transition to his crib won't be so big. Good luck and stay strong!

Answer

I am in the same boat as you! I tired everything but nothing seems to work. I hate hearing him cry/scream most of the night in his crib so he always ends up in our bed. 😩
