Right my son is 14 months he has been in our bed a long time, we dont even try and put him in his cot now - but he is getting to the point where he doesnt even sleep in our bed now so im thinking of weaning him out of our bed. I am not using controlled crying for long periods because he is sick, i carnt just put him in his cot and leave him because he screams blue murder. Im thinking of putting him in a cot in our room and gradually moving him out ( once he can go to sleep in his own cot) so what do you think? also any recommendations of a good cot and mattress?
