Anyone who does/did cosleep?

I have a 1 yr. old and would like to transition her to her own bed. Any advise? She has been throwing these terrible tantrums at night and I think it't time. Help!!

axle was only six onths when i switched him but he still will only fall asleep in my bed and than i have to move him to his crib but i startd the transition with putting them in there for naps to start and then once he got used to it i started moving him into his bed at nite after he fell asleep

Try putting her on a schedule at night, eat dinner, take a bath get in bed read a book. Say goodnight give kisses/prayer or whatever you do then shut the door. If she comes out once take her by the hand put her back in bed say "This is your bed" and leave. second time take her by the hand put her in bed, but don't say anything. Keep doing this until she falls asleep. The first couple nights will be hell but if you hang in there she will get the point. DON'T lay down by her because she will try to get you to do that EVERYnight. She will scream to get your attention. be patient * i learned this on super nanny and it really worked with my kids* good luck!

I just realized your kid is one. Mine are 5 and 3, so it was a little harder because they could get out of their beds, so maybe you will have an easier time if she can't get out of her crib. She will cry but eventually fall asleep, then when she gets used to it things will get easier

Get into a routine of doing things in their bedroom, read the goodnight book there, get them changed there, and reinforce that that is where they sleep, and DON'T give in!

I watched that episode. It was the one with the beach boys' daughter and she had twins and two boys. Gave me a bunch of great ideas. and to the OP I'm currently trying to do the same. I'm trying to only put her in her playpen to sleep and NOT to play in. I start off by nursing her in my bed and once she's done or asleep I put her in the playpen. I'm trying to put her down when she's awake but almost asleep that way she gets used to falling asleep in there. But then again I'm 6 months ahead of you and I believe it's easier to wean a 6 month of co-sleeping than a 1 year old.

I am watching this thread as well....my daughter is about to be 6 months old and has slept with us the whole time so far! I have a 10 year old who slept in her crib since we brought her home from the hospital and we never had any sleeping problems with her, but this one is different...(I have no idea why)

I wonder if I should get my baby out of my bed ASAP....

Definitly put her on a sleep routine FIRST After she falls asleep with you put her into her own bed. After you've had that established for about a month or so, use the CIO or Ferber method to complete the transition.

My daughter is almost 7 months and so far my way has been working. The dr told me not to do it all at once but to do it gradually just like you would wean from the breast or bottle.

Do you BF or bottle feed?

did you just pick her up and nurse her every two/three hours at night then put her back in her crib? Because I co slept with my other two and it has taken YEARS to get them to finally go to their own bed, so this time I want to do it an easier way

we co slept w/elliot and are now doing it w/Piper.

Elliots crib converted to a full sized bed. I slept w/him for about a week and then made bed time very very consistant. Dinner, playtime, bath, teethbrushed, story sleep. He slept fine once he stopped fighting actually going to bed. He's almost 4 now and has been sleeping in his bed all by himself for over 2 years. It was pretty easy!

My daughter co-slept with us until she was 9 months old. We were living in a one bedroom place until that point. Right after we moved I started her sleeping in her own room since I thought her in bed with us in a new house would just keep going on the same routine.

So I tried everything...If I put her in her crib already asleep she would wake up after 45 mins and scream because its not the same place she fell asleep in. She would be scared not knowing where she was. Finally I gained the courage to let her cry it out. It was really hard, and I swore that I would never let her do it, but I was at my wits end and HAD to do something!

So the first night she cried for nearly an hour (with me checking on her every 10-15 mins and laying her back down) then she fell asleep and slept all night. The second night she only cried for 30 mins, same routine of me checking on her and her sleeping all night again. The third night it was only for 10 mins. From then on she would whine for like 2-3 mins and then just go to sleep on her own. Now 3 months later, I can kiss her goodnight and lay her down in her crib and she holds onto her baby and goes to sleep. No noises, no nothing...just rolls over and goes to sleep. Letting her cry it out was the best decision I could have made. When we were co-sleeping she would kick and cry at all hours of the night for me to put her binky back in and such....

Sorry this is so long, hope I've helped some. Good luck and PM me if you need anything!
