Any who co-slept (And doesn’t now)?

Sorry, I know I should post this in Sleep but I need an audience.

If you co-slept with your baby how the hell did you get the baby out of your bed? At what age?

I have a 4 month old daughter who I have co-slept with since the second night we brought her home.

She always ends up on the breast before bed, even after sinking a bottle. I don’t know another way to get her to sleep.

I can’t get shush pat to work (maybe I’m a moron). I try to let her fall asleep co-sleeping then move her into her Next to Me but she either wakes up instantly or not very long after - big crying that pulls my heart apart.

I don’t know what to do. How long should I keep trying to move her over in to her N2M for? Or should I resign myself to the fact she just wants to be close to us and get a bigger bed... (my friend’s solution).

HELP 🤯

It's 12m for duvets, but adult ones might be a bit hot still? You'd have to see how you feel, the season etc.

Mine co-slept until she self weaned. She was 2y 8m. And most nights she still has to fall asleep in my bed (not always with me) and then transferred to her own bed.

Not what you want to hear I'm sure.

  • on the upside aged 3y 9m she is a very well adjusted / no attachment issues [other than where she wants to fall asleep] / is at full time pre-school and has never had any issues with separation I went back to work when she was 1 / no jealousy when I had another baby.
