Moving on from co-sleeping

[JellyBeann]

Hey guys, LO is a touch over 9 months, and DH said recently that he thinks it's time for him to be in is own bed! I moved LOs cot into his room the other week, and have been putting him in it for naps in the day, but he is such a light sleeper that if you move him (from your lap onto the sofa/cot) he wakes up and wants to latch on again to go back to sleep...this is all good in the bed, but If I move him to his on bed, he's up again...any ideas for me?

I moved his cot because someone said to me that the noise of you moving around in the night can wake them or your smell as you come in the room.

Also, I put a hot water bottle in the cot about a half hour before bedtime, so it's toasty for him...anything else I could try??

Also, he is not sleeping through, he'll wake once, twice, even three times sometimes, I am hoping he will grow out of this though!!
