My toddler is a lovely child. I spend a lot of time with them, I lovingly refer to them as my permanent companion. I cannot step outside for a cigarette without them coming out with me. No problem, but at some point I’d like to transition them to their own bed. They sleep in ours every single night, and generally sleep much better in there and for longer.
Has anyone transitioned a kid to their own bed after a long time of co sleeping? They don’t fall asleep on their own yet and I lay with them until they fall asleep, but if I try in their room it’s tears until we’re back in the big bed.
Yeah our first slept with us until ~2.5. Started by having him do naps in his own bed with me sitting there. (This was during covid lockdowns). Then it was me sleeping with him at night and gradually transitioning into him getting to sleep without me being in the room. Really liked the book It’s Never Too Late to Sleep Train.
