I have transitioned to cosleepung from around 4am most nights. I'm happy cosleeping as long as it works for us both 😊 but I still breastfeed, so it makes life easier! Give rested Mama a follow on insta, she is a sleep coach thatdoesnt use crying methods x
It was really hard for me…as my first co slept but second didn’t, however she did need to sometimes and it was starting to get to me. I started with getting a toddler bed with large bed guards and putting it next to my bed so he could still stand up and see me. He went fully in his bed in my room after 2/3 months. Then when my youngest got about 10months old (the one who wasn’t really fussed about co parenting) I then put them in the same room together at the same time so they didn’t feel lonely, took a good few months but it was well worth it now they are both in beds with a side guard and sleep all night through x
My 19 month old sleeps in bed with me sometimes x

We had to ditch the cot because she had coslept for so long she just likes to be free so we child proofed her room and she has a floor bed. We tackled her routine and put a good routine in place so she knows it’s bedtime. Don’t get me wrong, she plays up going to sleep occasionally but she goes to sleep in her room finally. She’d never been a good sleeper and I coslept from quite early on. This was all done without leaving to cry it out. I physically and mentally cannot do that. Hv’s don’t recommend controlled crying due to research but they will support you if that’s what you choose to do. It’s a very personal thing to do controlled crying so no judgement. I contemplated it once when desperate
