Weaning a baby off cosleeping

[acornfed]

My 4 month old baby and I co sleep and soon I'd like to try her in a cot. She feeds off and on during the night (ebf)
I'm sure I have created a big rod for my back but it has kept me sane as she sleeps well next to me.

Any advice on how to wean her into a cot and smooth the transition ?

Start with playing in cot and work on putting them in for the first stint when they usually sleep best and try to gradually increase amount of night in cot.

I need to get lb back to all night in cot but he's bf quite often through night and i'm struggling

I'm sure I have created a big rod for my back
Please ban this phrase from your vocabulary. Your baby is tiny. If it’s working, why change it?

In my (limited) experience from around 4 months is when sleep can get tricky so if it’s working for you I wouldn’t rock the boat now.

I'm in the same boat but as it's when the 4 month sleep regression kicks in I'm going to keep going for the meantime. I feel a bit better after reading of posters on here who have done the transition easily at around 18 months.
