I didn't at all with my first, but she slept really well. The baby is a brutal sleeper and will just twitch around all morning. Plus it's been a really cold spring her. She usually comes to bed with us after the early morning feed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cosleep-in-the-early-mornings#post-207130 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 20:48:40 +0000 brownsquirrel 207130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I co-slept with my eldest when she was breast feeding. Usually from 5:30-7:30ish, if my memory serves me properly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cosleep-in-the-early-mornings#post-203751 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 18:46:49 +0000 Rubies 203751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to when LO was little! Same as you - she'd wake up at around 5:30am and I'd just grab her and lay her on my chest still swaddled and she'd sleep cozily until 7-7:30! But one time her little swaddled body literally rolled off of me and onto the bed! LOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cosleep-in-the-early-mornings#post-203581 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 16:13:26 +0000 loveisstrange 203581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will usually put her downstairs in her swing after her 6-7am feeding and we'll go back to sleep, her in the swing and me beside her on the couch. Only way I get an extra couple hours in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cosleep-in-the-early-mornings#post-203569 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 16:08:07 +0000 regberadaisy 203569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, she has been waking up at 5am to nurse. I usually nurse her in cradle with a boppy and she falls asleep in my arm. Our day starts at 630am. If I let her sleep in my arms she'll sleep if not she'll be up and ready. Sometimes if she's up earlier than 5 and I don't fall asleep nursing I'll put her back in the crib. Sometimes she'll sleep till 7 sometimes not. It's a crapshoot really. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cosleep-in-the-early-mornings#post-202792 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 01:32:34 +0000 lemondrop 202792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes, my favorite time of the day! If he would let me stay there snuggled with him all day, I would! Sometimes it is in the recliner, sometimes it is in bed, but I love it. </p> <p>Last night I know he got me up in the middle of the night to feed, I have no idea how long we passed out in the recliner for when I woke up and put him back to bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cosleep-in-the-early-mornings#post-202754 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 23:52:32 +0000 skibobrown 202754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Guilty. I always was adamantly against co-sleeping for my baby, but now I totally see the value since it extends my morning sleep. DD usually wakes up to feed around 4:30/5 AM, and then she'll wake up again at 6-something, not b/c she's hungry, but b/c it's light out. I've found that if I then bring her in bed with me, she'll sleep soundly until as late as 9 AM... so yes, we definitely co-sleep in the mornings! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cosleep-in-the-early-mornings#post-202750 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 23:00:06 +0000 KT326 202750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If he wakes up at 6 I bring him to bed with me so I can try and get another hour or so of sleep. We finally mastered the side lying feeding. If he wakes up before that we stay in his room to nurse and he goes back in his crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cosleep-in-the-early-mornings#post-202728 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 21:52:26 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 202728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes!!! she doesnt; go back to bed after the 5:30 feeding unless i'm holding her. i don't want to co-sleep... so im gonna try and break her habit . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cosleep-in-the-early-mornings#post-202723 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 21:35:48 +0000 kgbee 202723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to keep him out until at least 6am, since that hopefully means I can get some extra sleep (I don't sleep soundly if he's in with me, and he's a light sleeper between 4 and 6 anyway). But after 6am, totally! Love snuggling my bug in the mornings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cosleep-in-the-early-mornings#post-202697 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 20:47:49 +0000 mooncici 202697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! LO wakes up between 5-6 AM and I usually just bring him to our bed so we can get some more sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cosleep-in-the-early-mornings#post-202671 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 20:08:34 +0000 cvbee 202671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: co-napping: what a great tradition! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cosleep-in-the-early-mornings#post-202670 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 20:07:07 +0000 cvbee 202670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAGS: I've got a morning grunter too. I think that's how I got to waking up early: I think he's about to wake up so I sit up and get ready to nurse, but he just keeps grunting and wiggling but not actually waking up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cosleep-in-the-early-mornings#post-202652 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 19:33:35 +0000 Mrs. Pen 202652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: oh I totally agree!! I love staying up late and getting up late. 8:30am is my ideal wake up time, but not practical with my son.</p> <p>I totally cosleep in the morning. Some mornings it's earlier than others, like as early as 3 or 4 am, but most mornings it's 5-6am, then we sleep til 8-9am.</p> <p>If I get up before he's awake he may sleep another hour without me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cosleep-in-the-early-mornings#post-202645 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 19:22:30 +0000 Navy_Mommy 202645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every day! NavyBaby wakes up between 5 and 6 and I just bring him into bed with me to nurse and snuggle until 730 when we get up. I love my morning snuggles with him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cosleep-in-the-early-mornings#post-202501 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 17:12:47 +0000 LAGS 202501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most mornings yes. I'm my most tired during the early morning feed and usually fall asleep while nursing. Plus, she's extra grunty in the mornings when in her bassinet. She seems to sleep a little more soundly while beside me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cosleep-in-the-early-mornings#post-202488 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 16:54:07 +0000 erwoo 202488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not in the mornings but I do often fall asleep while nursing him in the afternoon while watching TV. He sleep eats so he also gets some z's in as well. I tend to nurse for longer than I normally do during those feedings. :P I'll look and it's been 50 minutes. :O! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cosleep-in-the-early-mornings#post-202487 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 16:49:29 +0000 Mrs. Bee 202487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>olive goes to bed around 6pm, so 6am is not an unreasonable wake up time. but if i can get her to sleep til 7:30, i'm going to take it! i think waking up early for the day is harder than waking up in the middle of the night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cosleep-in-the-early-mornings#post-202477 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 16:41:26 +0000 MsMini 202477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, when DH goes to work for the day, I bring Sawyer into the bed with me to snuggle. DH doesn't sleep well when he thinks Sawyer is in the bed with us, so we don't co-bed when DH is in the bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cosleep-in-the-early-mornings#post-202469 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 16:36:40 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 202469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has pretty much been sleeping with us all the time, but until we made the decision to co sleep, she would come in our bed around 4 a,m, by this time we were just both so exhausted that we didn't have the energy to try and get her back down in her crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cosleep-in-the-early-mornings#post-202458 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 16:26:01 +0000 banana 202458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did and would totally do it with my daughter too! Sometimes you just need that extra hour of sleep to really make a big difference in the day. I felt like I needed it to be more alert...which in the long run is safer for the baby. Otherwise I would be super drowsy all day long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cosleep-in-the-early-mornings#post-202348 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 15:14:25 +0000 amy 202348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do and my son is 2. He likes to wake around 5:00 and its just too early to start the day, I bring him back to my bed and he snuggles. This hasn't affected his ability to goto sleep at night in his crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cosleep-in-the-early-mornings#post-202333 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 15:06:01 +0000 chopsuey 202333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do! LO wakes between 4-5 for food and I'm too lazy anad tired to go back to my bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cosleep-in-the-early-mornings#post-202298 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 14:46:55 +0000 Boogs 202298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to with my LO. He doesn't like me anymore, but the extra sleep was sooo nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cosleep-in-the-early-mornings#post-202288 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 14:40:18 +0000 rachiecakes 202288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS has been waking up somewhere between 2 and 4am and I nurse him back to sleep in my bed (don't have a glider or a good place to nurse him upstairs other than the bed). I almost always fall back asleep with him. He'll sleep next to me until I have to get up for work at 6:30am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cosleep-in-the-early-mornings#post-202260 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 14:19:18 +0000 ainsworthe 202260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I absolutely did when jellybean was nursing. It's just so early and so easy... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cosleep-in-the-early-mornings#post-202257 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 14:17:41 +0000 heffalump 202257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. But my mom and I used to take naps together when I was in preschool after she took me home and gave me a snack. I'm hoping to be able to do the same... I'd love an excuse for a nap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cosleep-in-the-early-mornings#post-202180 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 13:27:53 +0000 Weagle 202180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only do it if she wakes for her second feeding before 6:30. After 6:30 she can go back to sleep in the PnP if she wants (usually lasts only long enough for me to shower and dry my hair), or we'll both get up for the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cosleep-in-the-early-mornings#post-202111 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 12:46:47 +0000 mamajaja 202111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Just started doing this. Before I would just let her sleep on me and move from the glider to the couch, but learned yesterday morning I can actually take her into bed with me and she continues to sleep too. Is that bad? haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-cosleep-in-the-early-mornings#post-202087 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 12:29:22 +0000 enjollah 202087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes guilty! Well... If I am still awake after he nurses, I will put him back in his crib in his room. But if I'm asleep, I wake to him flapping his arms and kicking this blankets back. Haha </p>
