Ds almost 17 mnths sleeps with me every night and i love it. However hoe am i ever going to get him in his own bed? So far my mom stays with him once a week so its no big deal really but what about any other time. What di you all.do when you leave during the night?
Re: co sleeping
Transitioning your child to sleep on his own is done the same way as anything else. With love, consistency, and a bit of firmness. Especially at this age he might be more resistant to breaking the routine.
I'm a bit confused with the last part of your post. Do you work at night and your mom is there to watch over him?
Once a week i play Volleyball but i just mean in general say if i want to go out to dinner with.dh or.friends or really anything after hebis in bed.
This - except DH is always the one to put LO down. At 5 months we began transitioning LO out of our bed (floor mattress) to a crib mattress sidecarred next to our mattress. About 3 times a week, sometime in the middle of the night LO crawls up off his mattress and snuggles in next to DH. But most nights he spends the majority of the night in his own bed.
