Help with a decision!!!

[*The_Mrs.*]

So from the beginning DH and I said that we would move Violet from the cosleeper into her own crib at 6 months. We love having her in the cosleeper and she loves it to. She wakes at 10pm to nurse and wakes up with giggles and smiles

So today is the day to move her into her room in her crib..BUT..Im not happy about it..and I dont feel ready.

here is the thing though, I dont think I will ever be ready so waiting wont change my feelings. the other issue is I have never cosleeped and I worry that if I keep her with us longer it will be harder to get her to sleep in her own room.

Help!!

I still have my 4yo most nights in my bed. My 21 month old is pretty much full time in my bed also. All my kids co slept at some point. 3 or 4 was generally the age I really put an effort into them sleeping in their own beds. So I personally would leave it how it is if you're both happy.
Or you could put the cot beside your bed to start the seperation. If you want some space, you could put her in the cot in her room til her first wake up, then bring her into bed with you. I did that alot.

My first thought and natural reaction is to go with your gut. Why change what isn't broken. Co-sleeping is awesome. I have co slept with all of mine and love it!

I've co-slept with all of mine. The older two slept with me until just before their younger sibling came along (so nearly 3 years for both). They weren't even encouraged into their own rooms, it was just something they did on their own.
I always hear people say it will be harder, but meh, I've found that for me that hasn't eventuated and parenting by heart is so much easier than following someone else's standard.

So I sat DH down and explained to him that I wasnt ready...we talked and he made me a side car crib!
