Is there a way to sleep train my 20 mo when my girlfriend insists on co-sleeping w/ 4 of us including her 10 yo in the same bed (3 if i'm not there) i bought a crib, but she only uses it as a playpen. the baby doesn't have her own room. ?

Co-sleeping: Sleep training while co-sleeping involves the same techniques as sleep training in a separate room. If the toddler wakes up, place a hand on her chest/back and make soothing noises, but do not pick her up or feed her. After a while of consistent reinforcement, the toddler will learn that there is no additional benefit to waking up and will sleep more consistently.
