Transistion from co-sleeping

[Kelroc]

DD has always been a good sleeper. She is 8m. Up until the upheaval of Christmas, she would go to sleep in the Next-to-Me and I would take her in with me if she woke in the night. Since Christmas she has been falling asleep in our bed and then we move her into the cot. Last week she had a really horrible cold so she has been sleeping all night in bed with me. DH has been banished to spare room.
We had planned to make the transition to the cot in the nursery this month, but I feel like we have regressed. She is still sleeping through, but in the last week will only be settled by me-she is having none of it when DH tries.
How did others "make the move" to the nursery? Was thinking of just doing daytime naps in there for a bit, or is it a better idea just to go for a total move? And has anyone else had this sudden refusal to settle for daddy?

Does it have to be right now? If she’s had a horrible cold, it might take her a little while to be comfortable and confident with sleeping. Remember, she doesn’t understand that illnesses happen sometimes and then they go away, so she may need a little bit longer with some extra comfort.

Afraid we didn’t do this transition till much older, so no real practical advice for this age group. But whatever strategy you decide to take, they do adapt to the new normal.

Thanks for the kind words. I think we’ll keep doing what we’re doing for a bit
