Re: 1 year old, cosleeping and "clingy" ?

Well we discussed the cosleeping/crib/bed transitioning some more that
night, and by the time we got home and all 3 of us were in bed, we
decided to put the idea of transitioning him off for some other time,
who knows when.

I think there are legitimate issues about when to
transition from co-sleeping, although I don't think they
have to do with your current issue which clearly seems to
be separation anxiety. Transition can be a challenging
process, and timing does make a difference--not so much on
your child's health or well-being, but more on your sanity
or how long the transition takes. I don't think it's a bad
idea to discuss your expectations about how long you're willing
to co-sleep, how you want to transition, what factors will
affect your decision making, and so on. It never hurts to
have a plan, in my opinion, as long as one realizes that
individual kids don't always go along with even the best
laid plans ;-)
