We had the same moment when Malcolm turned 3 months of "Maybe we should move him into his room at night?". Malcolm still sleeps in our room, just because we want him to. So far every time we've discussed having him sleep in his room at night, we're both like "I'm not ready!". He has been sleeping through the night since week 7 so really he's in there just for our benefit. So the answer on when to move her out of your room, assuming you guys don't disturb her in her sleep, is whenever you and A feel ready for it. We have an Arm's Reach co-sleeper, but not attached to the bed (Ikea bed is too low). We have been having him nap in his crib for awhile now, to get everyone used to the idea of it. I wanted to suggest to you that maybe you detach the co-sleeper and move it away from the bed as one of the steps to getting used to her not being in your room.

I like the sleep ladies goodnight sleep tight.

Then they will take one morning nap and one afternoon nap for the next 6-8 months. Then they switch to one mid day nap. You will know they are ready for one when they are more energetic mid morning and become harder to put down for the afternoon nap. <br /><br />as for sleeping in your room, there is no right or wrong answer. She can't be alone in the co-sleeper once she can sit up or roll over and over. Until then, do what you want.Megan My Dearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14966835413245521358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652830576405805890.post-47154179708758580932011-10-12T07:00:43.801-04:002011-10-12T07:00:43.801-04:00We never had our daughter in our room simply becau...We never had our daughter in our room simply because there wasn't enough room in our bedroom for a co-sleeper or basinet. Plus her room was/isn't far so it was cool. So as far as transition I unfortunately don't have good advice. Although, I think you said it perfectly. Let her try to have naps during the day in her crib and see how that goes... first you will get her to nap during the day and you will get her used to her crib. You also said "this is my gut on what will work" Go with it... go with your gut! No book or website can tell you other wise! You know what's best for her better than anything else!! So, don't doubt your self you got this!!! <br /><br />I know it's easier said than done but it sounds to me like you have the best plan. Go with it and let us all know how it goes!! :)Jennoreply@blogger.com
