I love your ideas on transitioni...Way to go Ashley! I love your ideas on transitioning. I guess I'm lucky cuz my little one has always been so good about bedtime. We've had a couple nights where she has cried herself to sleep but she never figured out how to climb out of her crib. I coslept for the first 3 months but I would never have been able to continue past that. Even in hotels when we share a room, she's such a noisy sleeper, I hardly get any sleep at all. Thankfully, she has never had any major issues with sleeping in her own crib. <br /><br />We made the transition to a big girl bed out of necessity about a month ago. Our house needed to be roofed and since our daughter's room is upstairs, I moved her to the full size bed in the guest room in the basement. I didn't have time to do the weeks of prepping that you did, but it went pretty well in spite. The bed is against a wall and I sorta fenced her in with pillows so she wouldn't roll onto the floor. The first couple of times, she woke up a little confused as to where she was, but she adjusted pretty well. Now she loves the room down there and I'm not looking forward to moving her back upstairs to a toddler bed. Haha... oh well. <br /><br />Thanks for the great tips. I think the best thing you said was about going with your gut as a mom and doing what's best for your child and your family. It's not up to any other mom to determine what choices you make. I couldn't have co-slept with my daughter cuz it just didn't work for us... but that doesn't make it wrong for someone else... nor does it make my choice wrong. Every mother does what works for them and the rest of us need to just mind our own business and encourage other moms instead of judging. :) Keep up the great work. Your little Buddy has a wonderful mommy!Aubrie Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07727726178934665990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7711321409115781419.post-79371295829654444072011-10-08T08:25:45.549-07:002011-10-08T08:25:45.549-07:00We have not made that transition yet. I think tha...We have not made that transition yet. I think that we all still enjoy co-sleeping and will continue to do so for a while. However, I'm open to testing out putting a toddler bed in the master bedroom when we move to a bigger space and help Moo get started on transitioning.K.

So...My son has never been one to enjoy co-sleeping. Sometimes I wish he would have, haha. There are days when I just want to cuddle him, but he tends to want his space. He is 20 months old and I've never had to rock him to sleep ... not even once. He has always just laid down with his binky and his blanky and gone right to sleep. Everyone tells me what a rare situation we have going on and that it's a blessing ... but I can't help but feel like I've missed out on some serious snuggle time. We haven't made the transition from crib to "big kid" bed yet, so I'll have to keep you posted when we finally do.<br /><br />New follower from Her Little Mister; hope you'll visit me sometime at http://herlittlemister.blogspot.com/<br /><br />LOVE your blog; have a great weekend!<br />KateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
