Cosleeping journey coming to an end

Mrs.Holland

I'm so heart broken. I was originally anti cosleeping until I had my daughter. From the day we brought her home from the hospital she has been sleeping in my bed.

She was sleeping 9-6am before sleep regression hit, now she wakes up every 2 hours. The 4th leap is over from what wonder weeks says but she still wakes up so much. My husband rolls, I roll, his alarms go off, everything wakes her up now.

Last night at 2 am she was awake, and would not settle she was up until 4 am when I finally decided to try to put her in her crib. 5-10 mins of moving around in her crib and squaking, she passed out and didn't wake up until 9 am. I am so thankful she slept so good, but I am questioning if the chapter of her sleeping with mommy is over. I know it's a blessing she did so well transitioning into her room, but I can't help but to feel heart broken.

My original goal was to have her in her room around 3 months old, and shes 5months and I think all the movement, alarms, etc make it to where she doesn't sleep as good as shes capable of. I am so sad, yet I know it's time in a way... I don't think I would have ever been ready for this let it be when she was 3 months old or a year old. She is my first baby so this is all new to me.

I need words of encouragement to be strong because I don't know if I am ready for this. But I can't help but to feel in my head it's time for her to be in her own room.

I struggle with mild pp depression and getting those baby snuggles in bed have always helped me, but I know this is God's way of telling me its probably time for her to be a big girl and sleep in her bed.

An words of encouragement will be greatly appreciated..
