6 Mo. Old Sleeping Solo

HIYA! Is there any way that you can set up a "bed" in your room with you at first? That might start the transition and you could try letting him sleep with a shirt of yours so that he can "sense" (scent- ha, funny!) you there with him, esp if he wakes up during the night.

My daughter slept with me when we brought her home. I finally put her in her own bed at about 4 months old. Her bed in in our bedroom so she still feels close to me and if she wakes up at all I'm right there. Maybe you could put his baby bed in your room for a little while until he gets used to sleeping in it and then move it to his own room. I think the sooner you put him in his own bed the better the transition is. The longer he sleeps with you the harder it will be to get him into his own bed. Good Luck!

My son slept in my bed for about 3 months. He was weened prior to the move to his bed but I don't know if that had anything to do with it. What I think helped the most was that we were still in the same room for a while. He could still hear that I was there so he felt secure. Good luck!

I got a co-sleeper for my daughter and put her in it in the crib. It really helped! She was able to feel like she was being snuggled until she adjusted to the crib.. she woke up a couple of times the first 3 nights (I held her till she got sleepy again and put her back and let her cry- it took 5 min for her to fall back asleep), but after that she was fine. She began to roll out of the co-sleeper after about 1 1/2 weeks and I took it out. She sleeps alone every since. I got a sleeper with an open bottom so she could roll out once she felt safe- that way she wasn't trapped.
