I just love co-sleeping. When Little Lady was first born she slept in the pack and play next to my bed. As she started to out grow the top level of the pnp I moved her into our bed and moved the pnp down to the living room to be used as her play pen. I have loved having her in bed with us, her cuddling up close in the middle of the night, waking up to her beautiful smile in the morning, what could be better. And while I do think that co-sleeping has attributed to her all night nursing at times, it's still nothing I will ever regret doing. Well, Little Lady is becoming more and more of a big girl. This weekend she cut the top 4 center teeth and she is starting to STAND independently. I think our co-sleeping days are coming to an end. I always knew deep down that it would happen before her first birthday but I think it snuck up on me. I knew that I didn't want to be crib training and weaning at the same time. So, Big A and I talked about it today and once the top 4 teeth have clearly made their arrival and she is no longer in pain from her teeth we are going to move her. Now, I know that it won't happen overnight but I know it will be good for the 3 of us. Little Lady can be more independent and Big A and I can have some much needed alone time.
My plan for the transition is to sleep on one of the camping cots in Little Lady's room for a couple days until she gets used to sleeping in her room. I have no intention of ever making her cry herself to sleep, just not my style. So, if there are any suggestions out there to help with the transition, let me know.
