I would say try to put him in his crib more often during the day. Even if he doesn't nap, maybe you can put him in for a "rest time" so he gets used to the idea of being alone. And it really does take commitment on your part because it will be hard, especially at night when he cries for you. The first few nights you can stand outside the door and let him hear your voice, but you will eventually just need to let him cry. Don't give in. It will be a week of hell, but you can do it!
I've been cosleeping since day 1 and it was not my plan but I do love it. I however really want him to sleep in his crib at night before it gets too hard to transition him. My problem is mostly he won't sleep much at all during the day but has always slept great at night. Any tips on transitioning them to the crib after cosleeping?
I co sleep with my son. It's the best!! I was also told not to co sleep with my baby. Sometimes as moms it's better for us to see what works best for us and our family rather than listening to what others think is right or what worked best for them. kudos to you!
my husband works nights too, and co sleeping worked for us when my daughter was born, for the same reasons you stated, it was easier to feed her and also for me to get a sleep etc etc, iv only ever came across negativity when i tell people this, im glad i saw your video. thank you!!

Yeah, I know how hard it is to face the negativity, but I feel like you really have to do what works for you as a parent.
