T doesn't want any part of it!</p> <p>I never <i>encouraged</i> cosleeping, but I wasn't opposed to it if that's what T wanted. But he's very much (and basically always has been) anti-cosleeping. He wants to be in his room and in his bed. I can't even get him to nap with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-1/page/2#post-2180309 Sat, 16 May 2015 08:30:07 +0000 Alivoo01 2180309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: LMAO!!!!

We still do it on vacation. Dd2 sleeps with me a good amount. Not every night but a good amount and for naps sometimes. I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-1/page/2#post-2179968 Fri, 15 May 2015 16:13:37 +0000 snowjewelz 2179968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Didn't plan to, or read up that much about it, just started doing it early on to reduce sleep deprivation and it just stuck and it works for us now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-1/page/2#post-2179961 Fri, 15 May 2015 16:09:13 +0000 bunnylove08 2179961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: LOL she is HILARIOUS! I really like her. </p> <p>We just moved and didn't have all our furniture yet. i put her toddler bed next to our bed on the floor (Mattresses only), she was okay with that. </p> <p>Do you think a slumber party on the floor might work? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-1/page/2#post-2179951 Fri, 15 May 2015 15:56:19 +0000 birdofafeather 2179951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: that's so sweet that L likes to cuddle. R walks into my room and is so chipper and awake and asking for yogurt. she's a crazy alarm clock! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-1/page/2#post-2179940 Fri, 15 May 2015 15:43:13 +0000 yoursilverlining 2179940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: @bunnylove08: our LO's toddler bed is in our room too, and she refuses to sleep in it. "noooo, I want big bed with you!" and then cue the full on meltdown and tears and sobbing :crying: I tried your MIL's approach of buying special sheets for the bed too - LO was so excited at Target to get Frozen bedding, until I told her they were for her toddler bed. Girlfriend whipped that head around and fiercly glared at me, set the sheets right now in the middle of the aisle and said "NO THANK YOU" bawahahahha :silly: I don't know how I'll get her out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-1/page/2#post-2179901 Fri, 15 May 2015 15:12:16 +0000 Dandelion 2179901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-1/page/2#post-2179882 Fri, 15 May 2015 14:57:00 +0000 anonysquire 2179882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. My anxiety would be more of a mess if we didnt. I like to have my babies near me for the 100 breathing checks I do at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-1/page/2#post-2179876 Fri, 15 May 2015 14:51:54 +0000 PawPrints 2179876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's been sleeping really well in an arm's reach co sleeper since day one so we never brought her into bed with us. Plus DH is really anxious about it so he wouldn't get any sleep if she were in bed with us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-1/page/2#post-2179863 Fri, 15 May 2015 14:34:31 +0000 Alivoo01 2179863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamasig: I'm in the same boat. Keep thinking maybe if LO #2 (whenever we get preggo again, hopefully soon) will entice big brother to share a room with him/her. But that could YEARS from now. Oh lord... lol I love the extra cuddles and the good morning routine he's instilled himself, but he's a heavy roller and omg! we probably look like cirque du soleil during the night sometimes. haha!!!</p> <p>@bunnylove08: yay for acceptance!!! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-1/page/2#post-2179862 Fri, 15 May 2015 14:33:35 +0000 gilmoregirl 2179862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Off and on when it works or helps. Not regularly anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-1/page/2#post-2179791 Fri, 15 May 2015 13:41:36 +0000 Amelieisme 2179791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! No one gets ANY sleep if we try with either of my children (1 and 3 yo). When they were infants/nursing, we sometimes did though. Nothing intentional/regular, but I fell asleep with them A LOT. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-1/page/2#post-2179785 Fri, 15 May 2015 13:39:06 +0000 bunnylove08 2179785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: DD's is the same thing. I just sat next to her and held her hand. She protested but I told her its this way or the highway. So she accepted it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-1/page/2#post-2179771 Fri, 15 May 2015 13:33:17 +0000 yellowbird 2179771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is not a co sleeper. She doesn't understand she's supposed to sleep if she's in bed with us! Ds hasn't, but he's only 6 weeks. We'll see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-1/page/2#post-2179753 Fri, 15 May 2015 13:21:33 +0000 Mamasig 2179753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NovBaby1112: I said the same thing. Eventually #2 joins in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-1/page/2#post-2179748 Fri, 15 May 2015 13:20:33 +0000 Mamasig 2179748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: My son is the exact same way! We bought paw patrol sheets and set it all up for him at the foot of our bed. He climbs in, plays, etc. But for actual sleep it's our bed. Sometimes we do move him back to the toddler bed after he falls asleep. Sometimes he STTN and sometimes he wakes up and crawls into our bed. I have no idea how we'll move him out. I'm hoping when little brother is old enough they will share a room and be cool with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-1/page/2#post-2179703 Fri, 15 May 2015 12:54:03 +0000 Alivoo01 2179703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bunnylove08: I'll try falling asleep with DS in his bed since he's a cuddle bug when he's drifting off to sleep. However, DS's bed is the crib mattress, but on a toddler frame so this should be interesting and fun! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-1/page/2#post-2179627 Fri, 15 May 2015 12:13:49 +0000 NovBaby1112 2179627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are kind of doing things backwards it seems! DD slept in her crib until 18 months. Then she slept in a bed in her own room. A little after she turned 2 she started wanting to sleep in our bed, so she's been co-sleeping with us ever since. I used to not be able to sleep good with her in the bed, but I'm so exhausted due to pregnancy I sleep pretty good with her now. My DH loves it because he doesn't get to see her much during the week, and I secretly love it too :silly: Although I have no clue what we will do when LO2 comes along. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-1/page/2#post-2179557 Fri, 15 May 2015 11:05:44 +0000 bunnylove08 2179557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Our process took seriously 5 months. It was a huge struggle. Lots of putting her back in her bed when she falls asleep. </p> <p>I did push her bed close to mine and told her to hold my hand because she wanted to cuddle and she would fall asleep like that. She also has this weird thing where she likes to "hide" so we put her blanket over her head and she falls asleep like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-1/page/2#post-2179543 Fri, 15 May 2015 10:52:07 +0000 Alivoo01 2179543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bunnylove08: DS's toddler bed is in our room and he enjoys playing on it, pretending to sleep, etc, but actually sleeping on it come bedtime is totally out of the question. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-1/page/2#post-2179509 Fri, 15 May 2015 10:27:58 +0000 bunnylove08 2179509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: So my MIL had a great idea, for DD's second birthday she had her pick out her sheets for his big girl bed. When we put the sheets on she was really game to lay in bed. But when it was time to go to sleep, she would not have it. So everyday we just had her get use to the bed but she would be allowed to sleep in the bed with us if she wanted to. we never push DD to do anything she does not want to do because she is a stubborn child. </p> <p>I think another thing that helped is that we're in the same room as her. We have a one bedroom so her toddler bed is some what close to us (She can see us if she picks up her head). Her sleep is much better now so we can leave the room and if she needs us she just calls out and we come to her. </p> <p>If you DS has his own room, maybe putting a bed where you can stay with him for a little while can help. Once he gets use to sleeping in the bed, you can tell him you'll stay with him until he falls asleep and if he needs anything just call me and I will always come. </p> <p>Sorry if my advice is not much help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-1/page/2#post-2179495 Fri, 15 May 2015 10:20:53 +0000 whenoceansrise 2179495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and I kind of love it! My baby is super cuddly :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-1/page/2#post-2179487 Fri, 15 May 2015 10:15:11 +0000 kgbee 2179487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Little Dude slept in our bed from 4mos to about 2.5 years. Then we transitioned him to a toddler bed next to us, then across the room. Then he wanted to sleep on a full-size mattress in his own room (yay!) BUT does not usually sleep alone anymore. Now that I'm pregnant my husband usually sleeps with him and I have my own giant bed full of pillows. We expect to co-sleep/sidecar the new baby, too, as long as it works well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-1/page/2#post-2179353 Fri, 15 May 2015 08:20:26 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2179353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! Both girls in the beginning, then cosleeper at 3ish months and crib around five months.<br /> DD2 wakes to eat around five and is in bed with us until we're up for the day. DD1 wake at 7 and crawls in to cuddle/snooze for another hour. It's the best part of my day having both of my babies snuggling and sleeping in my arms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-1/page/2#post-2179320 Fri, 15 May 2015 07:53:23 +0000 Alivoo01 2179320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bunnylove08: DS is 22 months and been wanting him to sleep in his own bed since birth. lol. Our habit formed because he was a terrible nighttime sleeper till about 12 months due to illness (RSV, flu, etc.) and teething. We have a bed for him and when we ask him to sleep in his own bed, he shakes his head, points to our bed and climbs up.</p> <p>We have let him fall asleep with us, then move him to his own bed, but he wakes up upset in the MOTN.</p> <p>What was your game plan and how did you do it???? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-1/page/2#post-2179232 Fri, 15 May 2015 05:16:28 +0000 delight 2179232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never have. My DH wouldn't like it, DD is not too snuggly and it wasn't something we ever were interested in or planned on. Actually, we did it once at an airport hotel on vacation and it was soooooo awful. I'm a little jealous of you mamas who get snuggles all night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-1/page/2#post-2179206 Fri, 15 May 2015 01:42:39 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2179206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I woke up with a sore rib. She's almost 3 and she kicks. :meh: But we had a "talk" and she knows she knows we're all going to sleep downstairs (in her room) when she gets her big girl bed. This will be after vacation. I hope the transition is quick! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-1/page/2#post-2179195 Fri, 15 May 2015 01:24:25 +0000 blackbird 2179195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very rarely with E. An in-bed best, then a few hours when she was a baby in the morning...18 month sleep regression and a couple nights on vacation. She will co sleep with MIL, though. At 2, she won't with us </p> <p>I already fell asleep with T, so....but nothing formal set up </p>
