lo sleeping in her crib at night....

You shouldn't feel guilty at all. In fact, you should be very proud that you aer putting your child's needs ahead of your own.

If she sleeps better in the crib, that's where she belongs. It's about what's best for *them* even if it makes us sad.

My oldest is 15, believe me I know how hard it is to let them go even the littlest bit. But you are doing the right thing for your child and that's what matters.

No help for you, just wanted to say that as long as you are doing the best for the baby, that's what matters. You'll always be her mommy, whether or not she sleeps in your bed.

I know how you feel! My DD is 15 months and is starting to sleep longer stretches in her crib ( I put her there at the start of the night and then we sleep on a mat on the floor in her room after she wakes for a nurse). One night she slept until 6 a.m. and I woke up feeling so sad. I missed her! Your baby is so much younger, and I know it would be even harder for me at that age. But, if you feel that she isn't safe or isn't sleeping well with co-sleeping, then you are doing the right thing. Are there some other things you could do to help you feel close? Could she sleep in her crib beside your bed or you wear her more during the day so you have more close time to make up for what you aren't getting at night?
