Cosleeping? - Cloth Diapers & Parenting Community

Hello everyone,

I'm new to DS.com, so can anyone tell me what "Bump" means?

Okay- the reason for my post: cosleeping. My son is a great sleeper. He started off in his crib and was fine. After I returned to work and my husband left for a deployment, we started having issues – I should say that I had issues. I moved him to my bed b/c it was empty and easier to BF. I reversed his feeding cycle, so he drank more at night and less during the day (after four months of exclusively breastfeeding, we had to start supplementing with formula). Of course, I wanted to minimize his formula intake, so this was another reason I brought him into bed with me.

WELL, he is six months now and I’m starting to supplement with other foods, so he doesn’t need as much of my milk. My husband has made it clear that he would like for our son to be back in his crib by the time he gets home (in 3 months). HOW can I do this??? He LOVES sleeping with me and to be honest, I love it too!

I don’t want to do it all at once, so a gradual approach would be best I think. Any suggestions?
