8 month old not sleeping in own room

Hi I'm wondering if anyone can help me with some advice/ videos etc. my baby has always slept through and in her own room from 6 months but as soon as she got to 8 months she won't stay in her bed. She's going through a lot of changes learning new things every day and is on the verge of crawling. She's also had a big growth spurt and had various bugs with nursery so we've ended up with her in with us now but I really want to get her back into her own room. She sleeps through when in bed with us but I just can't settle her back after about 10/11pm

She sleeps through with you because she feels safe and secure with you.

if that isn’t working for you, perhaps some gentle sleep
training?

I’m pro-cosleeping so hate myself for suggesting it but if it isn’t working for you there are lots of things you can try but you have to put in the work and be consistent

Is co sleeping an issue for you? If it works and she’s sleeping??! But if you don’t want it - could you try a floor bed in your room? Settle her there and then you roll away? She feels safe with you and biologically there is a drive to be close to caregiver so you can’t really change that unless you sleep train.

Ive read that when babies go through a lot developmentally that their sleep suffers. My 2 yo went through episodes multiple times. They do pass. I am also very pro co-sleeping. Path of least resistance imo and if it works it works. Or just ride it out as you're doing it and very likely it's just a phase.

Yes I think that's it x at least we're all sleeping when she's with us and it won't last forever
