Babies have been cranky and it might be due to teething, but I've been bringing one of the babies into our room if they wake up in the middle of the night and won't go back to bed.
Oh, they've been sleeping through the night for a few months now.
They usually fall asleep next to me. I am thinking that I might be creating an problem if this happens every night. Luckily, it's not (yet.)

My oldest slept with us occasionally when in a crib. My middle never sleeps with us, she's still in her crib. My youngest is in bed with me if she wakes up motn but that hasn't happened in weeks, she's in a bassinet.

Never. Well, maybe once or twice a month for the last part of the night. BUt generally neither of us sleeps well if she is in bed with me. @oliviaoblivia: OH MY GAAAH can I please borrow your unicorn baby?!

@hilsy85: I'm two weeks away from the four month regression. Can I ship her to you then?

Never. We did once because the power went out in the middle of winter and dd1 was going to freeze in her room. And it was the worst night ever because she thought it was party time all.night.long.But that's the only time in 2.5 years.

We go in phases. From about 11 - 12 months every single night. We broke that habit, but the past 2 nights she has woken up around 2am and has come to bed with us. I think her teeth are bothering her. I don't mind because I love the snuggles

Never. If she's having a bad night I'll sit in the rocking chair in the nursery with her.

She's never slept in our bed. And I don't think she would even if I wanted her to.

Stopped cosleeping completely around 9 months. Since then he's slept in our bed a couple night when he had a bad ear infection.

About twice a week on average (this is a new thing since he got older bc he used to not be able to settle in bed with us)

Never. When he was younger in the mornings if he woke early he would nurse to sleep beside me. Now if I even tried to do it he is soo crazy. Last time I attempted (he as sick and wouldn't sleep!) he was crawling all over saying helloooo!

Very rarely. We just went through a period where DS teeth were really bothering him and he wouldn't let me put him down. We went through a few nights cosleeping (he started off cosleeping then we transitioned to the crib) then he went back in his crib fine.

Never. In 3.5 years it's never happened. I think by now they would both just think it was party time

Hardly ever after 6 months. She won't sleep in our bed, which is a blessing but also at times a curse!

Never - she has never fallen asleep in our bed, even as an infant when I was holding her.

In 19.5 months we've only done it two nights. We were in the 18 month regression, teething, in a hotel, 7 hour time difference after a 10 hour flight.
I was in a room with DS while DH stayed in our room. I brought DS into that bed and he slept wonderfully. Was terrified of creating a habit but he slept the rest of the trip in his crib and went back to normal in his crib at home.
I don't think I'll ever do it at home until he's older and can understand that it's not a normal occurrence. Like if he has a really bad dream or something.

A couple times when she was sick eve. She was a few months old and had trouble getting to sleep with congestion and for a couplr hours a couple times recently eve. She was teething badly and just couldn't get back to sleep any other way. so maybe 3-4 times in 13 months.

Occasionally, not so often not that she's weaned. Sometimes we nap together.
pineapple / 12053 posts
basically never after a couple months old. i'm a light sleeper and can't relax if there is a kiddo there unless i'm totally exhausted (aka, the few first months). after that, DD1 is a terrible cuddler and thinks that if we're there, it's party time. i had an awful vacay with my in laws where DD1, DH and a pregnant me shared a bed for 4 nights. last summer and i'm still recovering from the bad feelings i have about it (basically not sleeping for 4 nights and my MIL really failing big time on the planning for that trip where we could have avoided it!)

With my son we co-slept at least part of the night until he was two.
My daughter is 9.5 months but totally the opposite, she has no interest in sleeping with us. She loves her crib (still wakes up at night to feed though) and the one time I brought her into bed with us she crawled and stood and jumped around until I put her back in her crib.

Never with LO 1 or 2 at home and only during vacation.
Quite a bit between 4-6 months for LO 3 but not very much anymore at almost 9 months.

Hmm, my DS (3y) comes to our room and snuggles with us every day at around 6am. When we have the time all of us will sleep for another hour or so. But for the whole night - never, some part of the night sometimes but rarely (maybe once a month) happens.
DD (15m) will sleep in our bed when her teeth are bothering her. So she manages a couple of hours in our bed about once a week I guess. (Never the full night either though). When she isn't sick or teething she is an awesome sleeper so we're fine with it occassionally.

If she wakes before 6 and is standing in crib I put her in our bed and she will usualy conk back out

Honestly, never. I kind of wish she would if necessary, but she is too distracted and wants to play so none of us get any sleep.

Never except on super rare occasions (I think once in the last 6 months when she was sick).

@FaithFertility: so sweet!
On occasion when we're having a bad night I will try to get her to sleep in our bed but it rarely works! She's 14 months. For a long time she spent about half the night in our bed but at some point she stopped being able to settle. If it's a normal night, sometimes she'll fall asleep for a little bit in our bed because I'll bring her in to nurse but I usually wake up half an hour later and transfer her back. During the week I need her in her crib before our alarms start going off so she won't wake up and make getting ready way more difficult!

My son co-sleeps if he's sick/teething or if he wakes up early and I'm trying to get a little more sleep. So some months not at all and sometimes every night for a week, if he's sick/teething. But when it happens we usually put him to sleep in his crib and just bring him to bed if he wakes MOTN and we can't get him back to sleep in his crib.
When he was little I sleep really poorly if we tried this so we didn't do it much. But now, at 7 months, I can sleep pretty well with him in bed. Certainly better than I would holding him and walking around/rocking, which is the other option. And when we're just catching some extra sleep in the morning, I like the snuggles. We have a bed rail on one side, for when only one of us is in bed, which makes me feel better.
We recently went through an ear infection followed closely by his firth tooth, so he was co-sleeping way more than I would like, so we're trying to get him back to staying in the crib all night. It had been going well until last night and I don't know what was wrong with him last night! He was up and wouldn't even co-sleep.

We co-slept with our first until he was 6 months old. After that he slept in our bed when we were traveling or when he's sick. LO2 is 4.5 months old and sleeps in bed with us half the night (though she's still in a RnP the rest of the time).
