How to break co-sleeping and encourage self-soothing?

J

Our baby is 1-he got sick months ago and was sleeping in our bed, but he never went back to his own.

If he is awake, he won’t fall asleep in his bed, he will cry and cry and scream and scream. If he is asleep, we can put him in his bed…until he wakes up. Then it’s the same thing-he does not seem able to self-soothe. The only plus side is that when he sleeps in our bed, he sleeps until at least 8.

We have a baby on the way and need to break this habit ASAP but I’m dreading it. Any tips?!
