Transitioning 16 m/o to his own bed.
It is time. He only wakes once or twice at night to nurse, and really that is only when I move and disturb him. And I hate bed sharing more than just about anything else in the whole wide world ever. So I think I'm going to start tonight. I have a twin mattress all ready for him on the floor and I'm going to lay down with him and nurse him to sleep until he is out then leave and go to my own bed.
So....I don't know that I need advice yet, maybe just prayers. |

When it's "been time" it's been really easy for us.

We start with a side carred crib, so that it's the same height, and easier to just shove them over after they're asleep, if they think they're not yet ready.

Re: Transitioning 16 m/o to his own bed.
We've never bedshared except for naps, so I have no advice. But good luck! If it's time, it's time.

Re: Transitioning 16 m/o to his own bed.
Is he going to share a room with is brother? We put dd3 in her own twin beside her sister's bed, with bedrails & she has been keen to sleep there ever since.

Re: Transitioning 16 m/o to his own bed.
Just following along. I need to get my 3 yo out of my bed but he has always been like Velcro after sundown. If he slept as solidly as my infant I probably wouldn't mind bed sharing, but he spends the entire night trying to crawl under us I really want him out.

He had a tooth come through during the night. We'll try again tonight.
