Wish me luck tonight with DD.

She's 5 months old, and I am going to try to put my cosleeping princess into the PNP for the night. She is uber-attached to mama, and I don't know how this is gonna go.

She's been 4 month regressing and growth spurting (grew 1 3/4 inches in the last month!), but I think the proximity of the boob in the bed is causing more night waking than is strictly necessary.

I give it maybe 3 hours. LOL

Darn those cuddly little December babies.

Good luck!  She just might surprise you!  I coslept with DS until he was 22 months and the transition to his own bed went MUCH better than I ever anticipated.  Granted, he didn't truly sleep through the night until the last month or so, but it happened!

It's hard to NOT want to snuggle with them, though!

Good luck! 

Can't remember the age (2ish mos?) but we transitioned from next to Mama in bed to the car seat next to the bed with DD2.  For a couple weeks she'd wind up in bed with me at some point during the night.

Then I moved to her bedroom on a mattress on the floor, her in the car seat next to it (around 3 months).  Then to her crib (around 4 months)--me still on the mattress on the floor.

I left her room for good around the time she was 6 months old because she was FINALLY only waking once or twice per night.  Before that it was a LOT.

She's been an exhausting one on the sleep front!  DD1 was STTN around 2 weeks old (yes, we KNEW we were spoiled) and in her crib for 12+ hours per night--no waking--by the time she was 10 weeks old.  We never coslept with her.

Slowly, but surely it happens.  It is just an exhausting process--GOOD LUCK!!!
