How to Gently End Co-Sleeping With Your Baby

In today’s episode of The Gentle Parenting Show, Kim is solo to discuss co-sleeping. In a previous podcast, she explained how to improve the quality of sleep for both parents and children while co-sleeping, but today she talks specifically about ending co-sleeping. In her thoughts today, she’ll outline steps to end co-sleeping with a baby and transitioning them to a crib on their own. Future episodes will include steps on ending co-sleeping with an older child and transitioning to a bed. Today, Kim covers:

• Types of Co-Sleeping 

• The First Step to End Co-Sleeping 

• Night Weaning When You End Co-Sleeping 

• The First Night of Independent Sleeping

Our favorite quote from the episode is “the faster you move in sleep coaching, the more crying there will be.”
