Ending cosleeping

We have been co sleeping with our baby since he was born. As I am finishing up nursing, I am getting ready to move him to his crib. The problem is the minute he is laid down in it, even deep asleep, he wakes up. Any suggestions???!?!

Re: Ending cosleeping

  • try elizabeth pantley "no cry sleep solution".

    she has wonderful ideas for transitioning from cosleeping to a crib. she also addresses the issue of waking while being laid down. the solution is putting baby to bed while he is just a little bit awake, but vvveeerrryyy sleepy, so he isn't scared when he wakes up in a different place from either your bed or your arms. we are using the book right now, and LOVE it.

  • We're working on this too. I feed him solids before his bath and then a bottle after to make sure hes full and then get him good and asleep and lay him in crib, after about an hour and a half he cried.  Instead of going to crib, which is in our room, we let him CIO.  He cried maybe 10 mins the fist night and less than 2 mins the second night. We had been getting up if he woke more than than 3 hrs to feed him but last night let him CIO and he woke at 6( he went down at 10) which was amazing. I fed firm changed him and then he slept until after 8.
