Transition from Bedsharing

Hey ladies currently LO is 3months (15 weeks) and has been Bedsharing since 3weeks old. I need advice on how to transition her from my bed to her PnP. I've tried to start doing naps during the day but she wakes up the moment I lay her down or she will only sleep for 15mins. I need advise. I'm not ready to move her to her crib because it is clear across my house, but I need her out of my bed. She's gotten to where she wants to snuggle and if I put her away from me all she does is toss and turn. I love the snuggling but I'm soooo scared about SIDS. And the fact that people say I will never get her out of my bed. Please help! Any advise is welcome!

    It will be a transition.

    We're trying to get ds to sleep in his bed during the day as opposed to the carrier unless we are out.

    We're having crappy naps at the moment. I lay him down in bed and see how long he lasts. Once he gets upset then into the carrier. It will get better. Keep trying :)

    I'm in a similar situation. I put my DD in her RnP at night around 11p, but bring her in my bed for her morning feeding at 2-3a. She stays with me in the bed until she wakes again at 7a.

    I know I need to put her back in her RnP, but I'm just so tired. I do it for convenience. I wish I had some advice for you! I'm also worried about her getting too comfortable with this arrangement :/

    I was bed sharing when DD was days old to about 4 weeks. She would start in the cosleeper and end up in my bed after MOTN feed. To have her fall back asleep, I had to be consistent with her. after 3-4 days of fussing for a few minutes, she would fall back to sleep in the co-sleeper. It's hard but do what's right for you and your LO.

    I am forcing myself to stay awake as we speak! We put him in the bassinet following a bottle and comfort nursing around 9. He just woke up for more nursin, and I expect it will take 45 mins to get him sleepy enough to do the bassinet again. The second round of sleep is a crapshoot. I keep cycling this way until 6-7 am an we usually catch a nap from then to 9am in the bed

    This is me also. I noticed DS wants to snuggle more also and gets upset when I push him away from me. He only likes sleeping on his back in my bed and hates to be transitioned back to the RNP after a MOTN feeding. I have to go back to work in 3 weeks and I'm getting nervous. He used to sleep in his RNP most of the night but lately his sleep hasn't been the greatest and a mama needs her sleep. Ughhh.

    Thanks @RNmama12‌! Always nice to hear this side of things. Our LO spends half the night with us and in kind of waiting for signs that she is ready/needs her own space before we transition her out. Sometimes I toy with the idea of getting her into her crib full time but maybe I'm just not ready either ;)

    We also bed share. LO naps in his bassinet as often as possible. One thing that really helped was making his sheets smell like DH and I. We wrap our pillows in his crib/bassinet sheets so when LO is alone in his bed he still smells us and it is not so foreign to him.
