If your baby is younger that 2 years old the crib is the best and safest place to sleep in.

If your LO is 2 - 2.5 years old, see if they can climb out of the crib.

If your 2 year old can NOT climb out then definitely have them sleep in the crib. A crib can get you 6 -12 months of peaceful sleep.

How to Stop Co-sleeping & Transition Your Baby to a Crib

The Gradual Approach

Step 1: Sleep with a little distance between you and your baby (for a few nights).
Scoot 1-2 feet away from your LO for 1-2 nights.

Step 2: Put baby's crib next to your bed (or travel crib).
Get baby used to sleeping in the crib (without realising it).
Place baby in the crib already asleep.
Aim for a few hours in the crib each night. That's a win.
For night wakings: Help baby back to sleep, then place them in the crib again. Celebrate ANY amount of time in the crib. You can also move the crib away from your bed.

Step 3: Begin sleep training
Work on getting your baby accepting to fall asleep on their own at bedtime in the crib & resettle each time they wake up at night.

A sleep trained baby (5 months old & older):
- Goes into the crib happily.
- Falls asleep independently.
- Resettles each time they wake at night.

Quick approach to stop co-sleeping

Begin sleep training on the first night.

Quick approach works for:
- LO's who don't accept gradual approach.
- Active, mobile babies.
- Exhausted parents.
