co sleeping

Since I got pregnant, I've often been told to set up a separate sleeping space for the baby. At least, if a separate room isn't possible, they should have their own crib in our room. But I just can't do it. I can't sleep without my baby. She always look for my boobies when they sleep, and I always give in... I know there are many risks, but I can't do it. Please help me—where should I start to learn how to sleep separately from my baby?

I’ve been cosleeping with my LO since birth (currently 2.5yo) and so far no issues. During newborn days, I’ll put her on the baby nest so that she’s slightly elevated and we won’t squish her. When she starts flipping then I remove the baby nest and let her roll around everywhere. I tried putting baby in her cot but she doesn’t like it and can’t sleep long (mine is those bedside cot which can put one side down but also rejected), also since I bf it’s more convenient for me.
