Need advice on sleeping

campiond16

DS is about 8 1/2 months old. He started STTN around 4 weeks and did until about 5 months and ever since he will only sleep if he's in bed with us (I'm 100% okay with this and DH was, until we starting talking about TTC again in a few months). He doesn't want to start until DS is sleeping in his own bed again. I totally get his point but now that he's been with us for awhile I have such high anxiety abut him not being by me. Lately it's been kind of a hit or miss if he'll actually sleep in his crib. I know he will if we try but I don't know if I'm ready. His crib is in our room and DH thinks we should try to put him in his own room now too. I can't even handle the thought. I'm so worried and I don't really even know why. We bought a video monitor so I'm hoping that will ease my mind a little by being able to see him still. Anyone have any advice on how to make this transition a little easier?

Keep the kid in bed with you until you're comfortable letting him sleep elsewhere. You can bone down with DH on the couch in the mean time.

My older LOs stayed in our bed until I got too pregnant for us all to fit, then we transitioned.  So when I was pregnant with DS, DD1 went into her own bed in the kids' room. She was 2.5; same with DS when I was pregnant with DD2.

I don't know if there is anything that can make it easier.  I think only time will help.

If you still want to sleep with him, I think that is okay.  Although, I think it's probably a good idea to transition him to his crib before a new baby arrives.  But at least pregnancy lasts 9 months
