Did she magically start sleeping thru the night? Does she wake up her brother?

He will sleep on his own until about 1am then sleeps with me.

MoonMoon on "Do you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-2#post-2349695 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 18:27:54 +0000 MoonMoon 2349695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes. LO has had his own bed but it's right next to ours. We make it a point to put him to sleep in his own bed, but he eventually ends up in ours, usually around 6 in the morning. I'm good with that. I'd so much rather nurse him in the morning and get a couple extra hours of sleep. Purpledaisy on "Do you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-2#post-2349693 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 18:25:26 +0000 Purpledaisy 2349693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope. She never has and has never wanted too. Even as a newborn she would just want in her rock and play. She likes her space! I wouldn't mind the extra snuggles sometimes. Torchwood on "Do you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-2#post-2349657 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 17:51:38 +0000 Torchwood 2349657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yea, she doesn't even have a crib. We bought a king size bed while I was pregnant specifically for cosleeping. I LOVE it. I can't imagine not having her close for so long. And she sleeps 6-8 hour stretches, so it's working great on that front. Ginabean3 on "Do you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-2#post-2349641 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 17:33:57 +0000 Ginabean3 2349641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes! I never did with my first, but my second (3 months) is so high needs and is a very light sleeper. I find it easier just to have her there so I can tend to her when she wakes up (a billion times a night :sad: ). I'm setting a deadline though...at 4 months I'm going to try to put her in her own crib.

Ms. RV on "Do you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-2#post-2349624 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 17:06:14 +0000 Ms. RV 2349624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No but she sleeps in a PNP adjacent to the bed. I don't sleep well unless she is that close. MsHangry on "Do you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-2#post-2349613 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 16:51:28 +0000 MsHangry 2349613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have done a couple nights but DS (5.5m) thinks it is just an all night buffet. For his first 4 months he was in a crib in our room. Now his crib is in his own room. I think that transition was harder for me than him. He does fine so far. Alivoo01 on "Do you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-2#post-2349192 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 13:26:30 +0000 Alivoo01 2349192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Ash: DS is a heavy roller so he's all over the place, although he favors me a bit more. If he ends up on DH's side, DH will just get up, put a body pillow in his place to keep DS from rolling off and sleep on the floor or couch in the living room. For me, I just tough it out unless it's impossible for me to sleep (which is currently the case since my belly needs more room than 6"). I flip the other way and put my head at the foot of the bed and my feet towards the head of the bed and still act as a barrier for DS. matador84 on "Do you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-2#post-2349133 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 13:05:20 +0000 matador84 2349133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We didn't at all with our first child, but was short on space with our second and pretty much co-sleep from birth night 1, on. In March (13 months) we transitioned to a crib, and it has been crib part of the night, bed part because she doesn't STTN. This past weekend we moved crib into DS's room to get her to STTN, and let's just say I am sleeping much better! Mrs. Champagne on "Do you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-2#post-2349111 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 12:49:52 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2349111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope. I cannot sleep with him in bed. Anya on "Do you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-2#post-2349101 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 12:46:37 +0000 Anya 2349101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We the same as others posters- she starts the night in her own bed but if she wakes up after midnight she comes into bed with me. babycanuck on "Do you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-2#post-2349089 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 12:41:22 +0000 babycanuck 2349089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DS is only 3 weeks - I usually have him sleep on/with me one wakeup during the night, generally the one I'm most exhausted and can lay him next to me to nurse then pass out. snowjewelz on "Do you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-2#post-2349087 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 12:40:37 +0000 snowjewelz 2349087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes! We kinda fell into it and still going strong. DD is 11 months. We don't plan to stop for now, so we are thinking about bringing her crib in and start getting her to sleep in there side-carred to us. DH can pass out anyhow, and I don't mind (or got used to) having her next to me. We all STTN so we're gonna keep doing it! rachiecakes on "Do you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-2#post-2349081 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 12:35:52 +0000 rachiecakes 2349081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @mediagirl: pretty much the opposite of your sleep arrangements - LO goes to bed with me and when DH gets home from work (he works nights) he moves him to his bed. Astro Bee on "Do you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-2#post-2349077 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 12:29:55 +0000 Astro Bee 2349077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We part-time co-sleep. If/when our 7-month old wakes up needing to be fed after 1:30-2:00, DH will go in and brig him back to bed so I can nurse him. If it's earlier in the evening/night, I will nurse him in his room and put him back to bed in his crib. We may try some sort of sleep training in the next few months, but right now it is mostly working for us. Ash on "Do you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-2#post-2349066 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 12:14:47 +0000 Ash 2349066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Alivoo01: my dh asked if they make anything bigger than a king (he's usually the one hanging off the bed and getting kicked in the face)! 😣 I vowed to not bring dd into bed because of not knowing how to transition ds out but that was a total fail. Let me know how it goes! Alba4 on "Do you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-2#post-2349065 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 12:14:11 +0000 Alba4 2349065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No, not since he was 4 months old. Once he moved to the crib we never let him back. He is a really good, independent sleeper, thank goodness. kitty on "Do you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-2#post-2349061 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 12:11:46 +0000 kitty 2349061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We do part time. DS goes to sleep on our bed then transfers to his crib in our room. Sometimes he comes back again if he is having a rough night and can't get back to sleep on his own. He's only 2.5 months though! Mamasig on "Do you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-2#post-2349046 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 12:01:59 +0000 Mamasig 2349046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @NovBaby1112: You give me hope! Whenever we mention it to DS1, he gets all anxious and says no he has to sleep with mama. I think one day it will click and we'll get there :happy: NovBaby1112 on "Do you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-2#post-2348978 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 11:22:00 +0000 NovBaby1112 2348978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We did for the longest time- from like 18 months to just a week or so ago at almost 3 years. I was finally successful in getting DD to sleep in her own room in her big girl bed all night and go to sleep by herself- never thought I would see the day!! Mamasig on "Do you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-2#post-2348964 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 11:16:10 +0000 Mamasig 2348964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yup, us and the 3 year old and 18 month old in a king size bed. The 18 month old used to start off in his crib but lately he's not having it. I don't sleep great but it would be worse waking up and getting out of bed every time they cried. They need me to sleep. Oh well, I'll sleep one day. pinkcupcake on "Do you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-2#post-2348913 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 10:55:52 +0000 pinkcupcake 2348913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yup, it's three of us plus one dog (thankfully she's small ;) ). We have a running bet on when she will leave ... Husband thinks she will prob be at least 6 before she moves out ;) Alivoo01 on "Do you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-2#post-2348889 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 10:44:02 +0000 Alivoo01 2348889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Ash: LOL!!!! I'm expecting #2 in March and I've been thinking about this. Like what if we're still co-sleeping with DS when she arrives and sleeps in our bed too?? Oh man! Not sure there's enough room for us all! Who knew a king sized bed could be "small". Sheesh. Ash on "Do you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-2#post-2348836 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 10:21:46 +0000 Ash 2348836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Alivoo01: hahaha same! We cosleep with our 2 year old and once in a while if I'm desperate for sleep, I bring our 4 month old into bed too. lovehoneybee on "Do you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-co-sleep-2#post-2348833 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 10:21:07 +0000 lovehoneybee 2348833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No, not unless he's sick. We all sleep so much better when he's in his own bed...he's a very restless, starfish sleeper, and wakes himself up when he smacks me in the face (or rolls on top of me, or kicks D). When he's sick he pretty much wants to sleep on top of me. He comes in to our bed some nights, and might cuddle for a minute or two (or more if he's had a bad dream), but he wants to go back to his bed pretty fast (no matter who suggests it).
