Have you tried getting her a special new bed? Or explaining to her that you can only stay with her for a little while, but you will always be nearby? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/co-sleeping-parents-how-many-hours-do-you-spend-in-bed#post-1906355 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 23:37:52 +0000 anonysquire 1906355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What if she snuggles with one of your shirts? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/co-sleeping-parents-how-many-hours-do-you-spend-in-bed#post-1905999 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 11:44:26 +0000 derevival 1905999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This sounds like me although I've been lucky; my LO usually has no problems staying asleep. I definitely have to lie down next to her for naps and at bedtime, but it's not horrible time wise. It's amazing how much I've been on my phone too! I can't wait for the Hellobee mobile version. </p> <p>I'm not looking forward to sleep training. I fear she's going to be a bear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/co-sleeping-parents-how-many-hours-do-you-spend-in-bed#post-1905966 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 10:53:20 +0000 Mamasig 1905966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It takes my LO forever to fall asleep at night. On a good night it's 10 minutes. On a bad night, one hour or more. I usually pass out with him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/co-sleeping-parents-how-many-hours-do-you-spend-in-bed#post-1905932 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 09:56:02 +0000 pinkcupcake 1905932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So the other day, I was thinking about how I feel like I have less time during the day to get anything done, and I realized it's b/c I spend *so* much time in bed so my LO will sleep. (She's 30 months old)</p> <p>She won't sleep unless I'm lying next to her in our bed, and if I try to get up once I think she's asleep, she usually wakes up in a panic and starts crying. This means I'm in bed with her around 8PM... and I try to sneak out around 830PM but she usually wakes up crying so I'm back in bed :T I can't go to sleep that early so I'm usually just lying there on my phone!</p> <p>Then, during naps, she needs me next to her, too... so that's another hour of my day I spend lying next to her. </p> <p>I love cuddling, but I calculated that I spend close to 12 hours lying next to her! No wonder my days feel so short :( :( </p>
