Can co sleeping be stopped

[Puppatrolx]

So backstory is, I EBF until 5months but then bf and bottle until bottle from 7mo

DD is now 1y3mo. Not been the best sleeper she's never slept through and would never sleep long in any sort of cot , co sleeper or moses

After i fell asleep 2 nights in a row breastfeeding her and felt sick to my core with guilt , the only option I found was to co sleep and she did start sleeping stretches and I could bf safely lying down so I got more rested

But she still feels better even since going onto bottles (with food) sleeping next to me

DH really wants to get her in her cot and I understand its more so we can have our bed to us and more space as she's a wriggler haha! And eldest is 3.5 in his own bed only comes in ours if hes poorly or bad dream etc

But I just have guilt as I started this and continued with it, lazily, so I could get enough sleep to function (this is after stopping BF, it was for safety purposes too at the start( and my guilt is how do I stop? She is so used to this and why wouldn't she be. She's so young too

How can I ease her

Why would you want to stop co sleeping? It’s good for both of you. Continue you as long as needed, I say. My little one will still sometimes pop in with me and he’s 9!

Im happy to continue its more DH as it wakes him and she's a wriggler etc and I get his POV and I don't want it to eventually end up that he wants to sleep in a seperae bed because of it or anythiny

I wouldn’t rush to stop. It won’t be long before she’s old enough to use toddler strategies with. I think if you do it when she’s still not understanding you still exist when you leave the room (object permanence) then it’s just going to be hard work for you and for her.

I co-slept with both of mine. It’s what kept me rested. And sane.

If my husband had had an issue with it (he didn’t), he could’ve slept elsewhere.
