Parenthood presents both challenges and changes. Your entire routine transforms. Gone are those cosy, cuddly nights with your husband. He might have shifted to the extreme end of the bed or altogether to another room. Do you yearn for your sleeping space spiced up with your husband’s closeness? Then it’s time to strive to get those back. It’s the end of co-sleeping with your kid and advancing him to his own bed. Your child is your life and you don’t wish the slightest discomfort for him. But this must happen sooner or later. The later it happens, the more problematic it is. You are not only missing on your “couple time” but spoiling your child to be more emotionally dependent on you.
Making a change and end your co-sleeping relationship with your little one will seen tough at first, and the first step is to prepare yourself. If you are sure that you do want to do this and are ready for the transition, then you must take steps to make this huge transition happen smoothly and patiently. Transitioning your child into a separate bed or even a separate room would take anywhere between a few weeks to a few months, depending on how long your child has been co-sleeping with you. Actually, the younger the baby, the smooth and easier the process of ending the co-sleeping relationship. Here are 10 tips to make the transition from co-sleeping to toddler bed easier for both you and your child.
10 Tips To Help Your Child Sleep Separately
Your toddler is far more adaptable than you think. He will protest at first, which is normal and expected. Do not co-sleep because he cries or is unwell. You don’t want psychosomatic disorders cropping up! A week or two is fleeting but it will help your whole family adjust to the new sleeping arrangements. Your child prefers to be held snugly and put to sleep because that’s exactly how it was during 9 months of pregnancy. It’s not easy for either of you, but practice patience and you will be rewarded!
