He was breastfed throughout the night, was refusing bottles during the day while I was at work. It was great cosleeping, we both got as much rest as we could.<br /> Now at 13 months DS falls asleep on his own (weaned around 11 months). Every so often he'll wake up at 4/5am. I usually just bring him to bed with me so he's comforted and again, we both get a bit more sleep before I head out to work. </p> <p>I honestly can't imagine him sleeping in his own bed early on. I would've been up and walking around the house to nurse every 2/3 hours and then trying to fall back asleep and be at work at 8am?? Would never ever happen. I probably would've lost my job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cosleeping-mamas#post-550427 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 12:29:28 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 550427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We co-bed (still do most of the time) with our first daughter. Cons:<br /> -The milk machine is right there, so they don't really sleep through the night that well.<br /> -It's hard to get them out of your bed once you start<br /> -Safety, against AAP recommendations.<br /> Pro:<br /> -Incredible bonding<br /> -Easy breast feeding<br /> -Easier for mama to get sleep in those times when baby wakes 4 times a night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cosleeping-mamas#post-550324 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 11:48:00 +0000 Clementine 550324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>PROs<br /> It's been great for bonding and super convenient for night time nursing sessions.</p> <p>CONs<br /> Sometimes I wonder if my LO is too dependent on skin to skin contact to stay asleep. He seems to know the minute I bring him back to his crib and wakes up. Also If I ever need to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, you need to either wake up your SO or put him in his crib in case they may fall off the bed. Sometimes, bringing them back to the crib, at least for me, caused him to wake up.</p> <p>Earlier on, he would sleep in crib then I would bring him back later to nurse and we'd wake up together. Now he refuses to be in his crib and basically cosleeps with us exclusively. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cosleeping-mamas#post-550315 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 11:45:26 +0000 oliviaoblivia 550315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We co-bed with LO on my chest sleeping while I read from 9-12 then she goes in the co-sleeper after her midnight feed. She stays in the co-sleeper before and after her 3am feed until she wakes for the day at 8:30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cosleeping-mamas#post-550304 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 11:40:08 +0000 littlebittyhouse 550304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>CoSleeping/bed sharing mamas - Lots of questions and would love to hear about your real life experience!</p> <p>Pros/Cons of cosleeping for you? Where do your babies fall asleep? If they fall asleep in their crib, at what point do you bring them in with you?</p> <p>We are currently cosleeping for part of the night. LO goes to sleep in his crib but comes in with us around 11pm. We are trying to decide if we want to make more of an effort to get him spending the night in his crib or continue to cosleep. LO is 7mo old and nis nursing 3ish times per night. </p>
