My DD is a year old now and has been sleeping with me ever since she was a newborn. I have tried several times to transition her to her own bed but I can't bring myself to listen to her cry.

The last time I tried she got so upset that she ended up throwing up. :( I bought her a toddler bed today and I plan on putting her into her own room, but I want to try to get her to sleep in her own crib by herself first.

Any recommendations on how I can transition without her throwing up?

With my DSs, they were comforted by taking copious amounts of things with them to their little beds, lol. Like there was not any room left for them to sleep, HAHA. As they were old enough, SIDS was not a concern, so they picked out books, stuffies, blankies, bath toys. We arranged it, just so, and sat there with them, as they lay in all their glory of possessions. I think it gave them a sense of control. But to be truthful, they had slept in their cribs before, this just helped when they went through awkward growth transitions of separation anxiety in toddlerhood.

My DD is still in my bed...at age 4...it is hell...I have no other advice.

"Awkward growth transitions of separation anxiety" means what?
