I moved DD at one to a floor bed. She wants to nurse to sleep and she hates her crib and I want her to stop cosleeping in my bed. Now at least if we cosleep I can be in her room and not worried about her rolling off my bed.

My daughter had been sleeping in a twin floor mattress since 5 months. We went from cosleeping to this so I could nurse laying down while she was still breastfed and we could cosleep in her room with her as needed. Now at age 1 she sometimes goes through phases of not wanting to stay in her bed when we put her down, so she'll end up falling asleep on the floor and we have to move her back to the bed once she's asleep. That's been the only drawback.

I moved the queen mattress out of our guest room to the nursery, but only because I end up sleeping there a lot and DD moves around a lot. If it had been DS I would have used the crib mattress.

I feel your pain.

We switched at 14 months. She's in a twin with rails. It hasn't been a problem.

I'm not sure if you're interested in trying the crib again, but my DS only started STTN in his crib at 9 months. Before then I had to hold him til he fell asleep, transfer to the crib, then when he woke at night I brought him in my bed.

When he started waking too frequently in my bed, I started taking him on the couch in the MOTN to put him back to sleep, the back in his crib.

When he got too squirmy to fall asleep in my arms he had to CIO a little (maybe one night for 20 minutes). Then he learned how to put himself to sleep, thank goodness.

I hear you. I fell asleep on that couch holding him many times. It was exhausting. In my experience, CIO didn't work until he was ready. It was trial and error. I know it doesn't help right now, but he will someday sleep on his own
