Well my little man is now 8 months old and still sleeping with me.
I know that I will have to get him out my bed. I have posted threads before about CIO which I tried at 6 months but he was not receptive at all so I stopped.
His crib is still in my room, still unused , I think it may be time to move him over to the crib. He is starting to get very tired at 8 o'clock at night and I don't want to go to bed at 8 pm. I also think after 8 months some time with my DH at night would be nice. LO is also a big baby who takes up most of my bed and I wonder if we would now both get more restful sleep if we were on our own?
I don't really know how to go about it though. Should I move the crib to his own room like DH says I should. I just don't feel comfortable with that yet, I would rather move him at a year old. So then will I not succeed if he is in my room?
How do I get him to be comfy in his crib? He is used to cuddling me and being so close to me.. he is also used to my pillow which I can't really put in his crib until he is a year old, though I do have a small airplane pillow which is flat and maybe I can use that?
Any tips would be great, sorry I know I have asked this a million times.
