Transitioning baby into their crib - Need advice?

This might be a super controversial post, but that is not my intention. I have three children and the first two I did not co-sleep and I practiced safe sleep. I now have a seven week old in which I did not mean to co-sleep with nor practice unsafe sleep. She switches between her crib and our bed in the snuggle me. We use the outlet sock, which we do not rely or depend on, but for us, it is helpful and eases our anxiety about co-sleeping. 

I do not want to co-sleep with this baby, but for those who did co-sleep and/or used the snuggle me/doc-a-tot, how did y’all transition your babies to be dependent on sleeping in their cribs?

    Well if your post is controversial.. mine will definitely be haha 
    that being said I co-slept with my daughter for about 6-7 months. It wasn’t my intention but for lots of reasons it just happened - and honestly I loved it. I felt like it grew our bond, it made feedings easy, and she rarely cried. When she was hungry at night she would just kick me (haha). Once she could start rolling over / only fed once a night we transitioned her to her crib. For the first week (estimate) I put her to sleep like I always did, in our bed and then once she was asleep I transferred her to her crib with a bottle on the ready incase she woke up a bit. After about a week I just started putting her in her crib directly and for us it was pretty smooth. 
    That being said every baby and every mama is different- so do what’s best for you. This is what felt right and worked for our family. Sending you all the positive vibes!
