I don’t want to put my baby in her crib..
Hey ladies so I’ve been cosleeping with my daughter since she was about a month old after discovering that was the only way she would sleep through the night and the only way I could sleep without being terrified of SIDS, I woke up to every tiny bit of movement, tinyyy bit of noise, etc (still do). But she’s 10 months old now. I started putting her in the crib a couple months ago just during naps and only did that until she learned to pull herself up in the crib then I stopped because she kept falling down and hitting her head on the crib and I felt terrible.. I still cosleep w/her and if I’m being 100% honest I’m not ready for my baby to leave me and sleep in her own crib every night :( I’m so attached to her and I feel like the only place she is safe is right next to me.. I get so sad thinking about not sleeping next to her.. but like I also don’t want her to depend on me to sleep at night as she grows up.. I want her to be able to sleep in her own bed/room in a couple years. But idk how to feel better about transitioning her into her crib.. will my anxiety ever go away when she’s not next to me?
