6month old cosleeper how doe we get him into own bed and sleep?

[SpeckledHen]

He is our 3rd baby. We have coslept and breasted on demand with him as we did with the other two. The last two times I went back to work when they were 6 months old and just prior to that we moved them into their own room and stopped night feeds. I do believe we just let them cry (I know). I can't face it this time. How do I do this? Tracy Hog's pick up put down technique? Hard Heart? Maybe it is too soon to think about moving him out??? Any help gratefully received.

I need to know what to do as well! Still breastfeeding on demand at 8mths and in our bed all the time never had a problem with the other 3 maybe im getting soft in my old age

Guess I don't need to move him out just yet as I am not going back to work. DH concerned though that if we don't do it now we never will. Plus we have no sex life. Another thing is that ds is getting quite demanding of an evening and it would be nice to have the evening back......He doesn't want to just breastfeed and sleep on me anymore and gets upset. If I lie down with him upstairs he falls asleep but cries if I go. please help.

i co slept up until my baby was 9 months (now 10 months) and i just put him in his cot one night becasue he slept latched on and was not feeding so i was more of a comfort. i was not getting much sleep at all. so one night i jsut decided to move him out into his own room, i had the cot in my room origianlly but he screamed as he could see me but could not reach me so out of sight out of mind (for him not me!). i think that you may have to be hard otherwise you will be up all night everytime he cries, eventually they adjust ,some take longer thatn others, you just have to be patient and teach them now otherwise you will have a 6 year old in your bed like my friend and no sex life (partly reason moved him out too! ). if they wake up crying leave them as they do settle back down. good luck and yuo are not heartless if you let them cry.

Mmm might put him down at 8pm this pm and get him to sleep lying next to me and theb let him cry a bit before reassuring. But keep him in bed until I go to bed.

pick up put down is great, worked well for us in this situation
