Tips for getting fed cosleeping baby in his own crib for the night?

The way I did it when my daughter still nursed through the night is put the crib into a daybed (it is convertible) and put it tight against our bed. That is good to me because it meant if someone got up it didn't wake her. By the time she could sleep through the night I would nurse her in a chair in her room, lay her down and she seemed okay with the crib but a good month later she was climbing out of it, now at 19 months she is either in her daybed or on her brother's extra twin bed which if I have trouble putting her to bed the twin bed I can lay with her with lights out it works out well.
