Operation Co-Sleeper Eviction - HELP!

[Kitt3n]

Thankyou everyone. I am loving these ideas.

Laa actually fell asleep BY HERSELF on the bed for her nap today. Please tell me this sounds like a natural step in the right direction?!

She really does hate the cot so I think we will have to ditch it. I am loving hte idea of a floor mattress (I think we still have the slats from DD1's old bed that we could raise it on). Otherwise I think Ikea have a similar sort of thing?

LOL, or you could just put the mattress on the floor Thats all we did.

If you want a 'real' floor bed, ypu'll find some on Montessori websites.

After asking around we did the mattress on the floor thing, but he just wasn't into it. He's gone straight into his bed (a regular single) with a rail because he's so little. I sold the cot before he was one as it was an abismal failure.
Now we've gone and moved on him so we're back to square one but I will get there....

Funny you should mention that. I went on holiday 2 months at parents and first month was co-sleeping. came back, spent 2 nights in old house fine but then moved and she was back co sleeping until we (gently) relaxed her back.

I layed next to her cot with my hand in it until she dozed then dozed myself on the floor to reassure her i was still there. I dozed next to her cot and put my hand up everytime she woke to grab her hand.
