Cosleeping expert Tiffany Belanger of Cosleepy breaks all things toddler cosleeping down for us. There will be a time (intentionally or not) that you cosleep with your toddler, so it's important to know how to do it safely, so don't miss this episode!!
This week I sat down with my friend Tiffany of Cosleepy to pick up where her newborn episode left off (if your baby is under 12 months, go listen to that one first). We're getting into the toddler years. Whether your toddler has to move out when the new baby comes, and how to start prepping the second you find out you're pregnant so it isn't a shock. Tiffany's story about going from one to two is worth the whole episode. We also get into what actually changes after the first birthday, when the comforter and pillow can come back, how to make bed sharing with a wild little kicker halfway comfortable, and how kids eventually leave your bed on their own. No program. No plan. Nobody crying.
In this episode, we get into:
- Co sleeping with a newborn and a toddler at the same time
- Does my toddler have to leave the bed when the new baby comes
- How to prep your toddler for a new baby if you bed share
