Easing away from co-sleeping
You don’t have to choose between a loving connection and independent sleep. This guide shows you how to transition out of co-sleeping in a calm and guilt-free way.
A connection-first way to make change
If you’ve been co-sleeping for a while, the transition can feel really big.
Maybe your child will only fall asleep if you’re holding their hand.
Maybe they appear in your bed in the middle of the night.
Maybe you’ve tried moving them to their own bed, but the tears, tantrums, or constant “Mummy/Daddy, don’t go!” made you stop.
You're not doing anything wrong, and you’re definitely not alone.
Families choose co-sleeping for many different reasons - survival, comfort, or connection. But when you’re ready for something different, it’s not wrong to want a plan that gently eases you into a place that allows you all to get better sleep.
That’s exactly what this guide gives you.
