Many mothers and fathers can relate to the struggle a parent has when it is time to end their toddlers co-sleeping habits. It can be especially hard to give your beloved child the boot, either for you, or them, or for both of you. There are some neat tricks to making the transition easier including, sleep re-training and putting your child on a bedtime routine.

Key Takeaways:

• We are knee deep in a toddler sleep issue that is entirely our fault. We have a now 20-month old who we sleep trained in the past.
• We’ve tried everything to get him to go back to sleep in his crib at that point — rubbing his back in his crib, rocking him in a rocker in his room, letting him cry for about ten minutes.
• He sleeps much better in his own crib, and we sleep better without a sweaty thrashing toddler between us.
