Hi all, I have a four-month old boy who is currently having trouble sleeping in his cot. I'm aware of the dangers of co-sleeping and would like for him to transition smoothly to sleeping in his own bed. So far we tried white noise and pitch dark room and it worked for a while. Also because I latch on demand, and for my own sanity I lay down and feed him in the middle of the night while I try to get some sleep. Could that also be another factor that's making it difficult for him to sleep in his own cot? For now it seems like co-sleeping is our best bet because we get the most amount of rest out of it, but baby us growing bigger and we're squeezing in a queen sized bed. Hubby and I are both having aches in the morning from being confined to very limited space. Any advice?

It really is a challenge co-sleeping in a queen size bed. What my hubby and I do to have more space is that we sleep in a horizontal manner (though there is not enough space for the legs) then I sleep at the center so I can sleep beside both my baby and my husband. But eventually we will buy a king size bed then place the queen size bed in our baby's room :)
