I'm wondering if we chose to put him into a crib (in our room) if there
would be a good time to do it and exactly how to phase our system out. At
three
months are babies typically "re-trainable"?

Our son transitioned out of the bed at about that age. He had been starting the
night in the bassinette and coming in bed with us at the first feeding. It
worked fine to start putting him back in the crib instead of keeping him in
with us, and he did sleep better for a while (he hadn't been a *bad* sleeper
before, just the usual wiggly bed-hog kind of baby). Unfortunately by six
months or so he started major sleep problems, and we're still not sure why (we
tried lots of things, including trying co-sleeping again, nothing really
helped).

All three of our kids have been totally lousy sleepers from around six months
to something or other. All three sleep extremely well now, so it wasn't because
of goofy brain wiring or anything. I have NO idea what we did wrong then or
right later, or if it even had anything to do with parental choices. I'm just
glad it's over and that most people don't have as much trouble with night
wakings as we did.
