Hi all. We have coslept for two whole years (either with him in our bed or a side cared crib) and feel it's time to gently transition him to a toddler bed. We will start off with him in our room and take the next few months to let him get used to that first. He sleeps very wild and my DH is a bit done with getting kicked in the head all through the night (-: WE got him one of bthose beds shaped like a car since he loves cars and trucks. Hoping this will help??

The issues:
1. How do I do this as gently as possible? What are some pointers? I don't mind if it takes a month or so as long as he won't be traumatized by it. He's a bit of a high need little guy, so I need to really ease him into the transition.
2. He's NOT night weaned. So, I'm confused as to how to begin. Should I night wean first? Should I just bring him into our bed once he wakes at night?
