I want to start training H to sleep in his bed instead of with me. Not sure how to go about doing this. He will be 1 on the 23rd. Advice appreciated.

Also short mamas how do you put sleeping baby in the crib. I'm having a hard time doing so without waking him.

Hm, at one I think he would be old enough to just try putting him in and seeing how he does? Also, I'm a short mama and it's one of the reasons I did sleep training so that he could sooth himself to sleep, because even when the mattress was raised I struggled to get him in soundly while he slept. Forget at one when the mattress is at the lowest setting!
GOOD LUCK!

@.twist.: I know what you mean. It's awful. He is a comfort nurser so he likes to fall asleep feeding. When I just put him in there he threw a fit til he threw up. I told SO to buy me a step stool. Lol

@littleblessings: my LO is 15 months, and we have been transitioning out of cosleeping by moving her to a floor bed. It's working out really well so far! I stay with her until she falls asleep at the beginning of the night. At some point, either myself or DH joins her and cosleep a on the floor bed. We have had some nights where she slept alone most of the night (although that was back when I woukd nurse her and leave; we are now gradually night weaning and DH comforts her instead). I know a floor bed isn't necessarily ideal for everyone, but I wanted to throw the idea out there in case it helps!

@Zbug: that worked when he had the flu a couple weeks ago but my back started hurting from it. That's why I wanted to give the crib a try. I'll prolly have to go back to the floor thing. With DD we used the CIO method. Hated it but it worked. /:
