Transitioning a 10 month old to a crib


So for some context, ever since my daughter was born last August she’s always had some unusual sleeping arrangements for the most part. She slept for a week in the bassinet before she hated it, to which we then moved her to one of those rocking chairs, which she ended up hating as well, to her car seat attached to the stroller, and then now as of December/January, she’s been sleeping with me and my girlfriend in our bed for half a year and some change. I know that I’d probably be judged for that (And maybe rightfully so), but we always tried to keep her in the one space which clearly didn’t work, and figured to make our lives and hers easier, we’d just let her sleep wherever she was the most comfortable.While I know im gonna miss snuggling with my daughter at night, me and my girlfriend really want to get her into her own space for a multitude of reasons. We currently have a crib set up for her and we’ve tried putting her in it to sleep with naps, but she seems to view it more as a playpen almost than somewhere to actually rest. The most use we really get out of it currently is if we’re both not in the room and we kinda just need somewhere to stuff her for a minute or two so she doesn’t get hurt. I know 10 months is probably on the really late side, but I would really appreciate some extra tips to try and figure something out. :) via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/3BmoVVd
