Coslept since birth - Transition into Solo Sleeping

[Chrispe]

Is he looking for more milk in the night? I having exclusively co-slept with mine for as long as you, but I find some nights my 2.5yo wants a bit more milk in the night, so I've been giving him bottle of milk to help settle him. I don't know if this would work for you? Either way I hope you find something that works for you all.

The trick for me is waiting till they're ready to transition, then it's easy. Sorry, that probably seems very unhelpful. All changes take time, though, so maybe stick at it for a while and then see? Good luck!

Short answer: I'm still cosleeping with a 4year old and 23 month old. Dd had a routine at 2 where she went to sleep in her own room but I also found I got less sleep and then it was hard when I had a newborn too, so I just let her come back into our bed. She never needs settling in the night, she just needs to be close.
