How Do I Transition From Co-sleeping To Crib?
My 5 month will only stay asleep for the entire night in my arms. The initial attempt to put him in his crib around 10pm works out fine but he’s awake about an hour later.
So, I then rock him and he falls asleep easily, however the minute I put him in his crib he wakes up. After a few attemps, I give up and bring him to bed with me..
Another thing that I’m having a hard time with is that when he’s in his crib I still can’t sleep. I keep worrying that he’ll suffocate under his blankets, or somehow the cats will pry open the door and decide to cuddle with him.
So I kind of have to “wean” myself from him too.
Because I can’t sleep without him. But I also know that he needs to be independent and sleep in his crib.
Another thing is is that he only falls asleeps with motion.. I always have to rock or nurse him to sleep. How can I get him to just fall asleep? Is he too young still?
