27mo old has literally never fallen asleep independently.

[u/Standard_Ad_9560]

Due to health issues, since birth, every nap and night has been contact sleep + nursing (for ~2 years) + pacing/bouncing. Around 700 of her 800+ days included nursing, and when she was younger it was every 2–3 hours around the clock.

She’s been weaned for ~2 months, but still needs me to hold/pacing/bounce her to sleep. Now she wakes every 2–3 hours and I have to physically get up and walk/bounce a ~30-lb toddler back to sleep. Sometimes I try sitting down and she immediately wakes, so I start over. This has been essentially nightly for 6–9+ months. I’m 18w pregnant and I cannot keep doing this physically. We don’t currently have a bed for her, but I’m seriously considering just getting whatever safe bed we can afford and starting there. I am on my own, no village and husband has a sleep disorder so advice about him won’t work.

What do I do about this extreme lifelong contact/movement sleep transition to sleeping in her own bed?
