Since DD outgrew the newborn napper in her PNP when she was about 2 months old, she's been sleeping in the bed with me (and sometimes DH, but he usually goes to the guest room so DD and I can have our space). At first it was a matter of convenience - I could nurse her in the middle of the night without really having to get up each time, and she slept for longer periods of time all snuggled up to me.
Now, DD is 5 months old, STTN when she's in the bed with me, and almost weaned from nursing. I'd really like to move her into her crib in her bedroom. However, every time I try, she wakes up every 30 minutes and cries until I pick her up and can either nurse or rock her back to sleep. She's never been a good sleeper when she's not snuggled up to someone (even for naps), but this is getting ridiculous.
So how do I transition from co-sleeping to her crib? Do I let her cry until she falls back asleep? Do I keep checking on her every time she wakes up? It just seems like getting up with her every half hour would be hell...
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!
