She slept in there at night just fine though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-babywearing-interfere-with-night-time-independent-sleep#post-1844623 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 00:35:41 +0000 HLK208 1844623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't wear my first but he didn't STTN until 12 months. I wore DD1 all the time as a newborn and she STTN by 8 weeks. I wear DD2 even more and she has been sleeping through the night since 5 weeks (7 weeks now--knock on wood!) so from my experience, it hasn't interfered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-babywearing-interfere-with-night-time-independent-sleep#post-1844621 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 00:28:47 +0000 Boheme 1844621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've read a lot of literature put out by attachment parenting experts that suggest it's the other way around - that the secure attachment that is fostered by wearing can lead to better independent sleep. My son is/was a terrible sleeper, but my friends from babywearing group have some amazing sleepers, so who knows? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-babywearing-interfere-with-night-time-independent-sleep#post-1841319 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 20:18:41 +0000 birdofafeather 1841319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we wore her a ton when she was an infant (still do) and she slept on her own just fine at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-babywearing-interfere-with-night-time-independent-sleep#post-1841297 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 20:10:11 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1841297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD slept well at night and in a carrier. I never thought about there being a correlation between baby wearing and poor sleep. I'd have imagined it was the other way around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-babywearing-interfere-with-night-time-independent-sleep#post-1841247 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 19:51:20 +0000 Foodnerd81 1841247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When C was teeny she slept in the moby all the time, but we never co slept regularly (just occasionally on really bad sleep nights). She was not a good sleeper as a newborn or young infant, but I don't think it was because of the baby wearing. If anything she slept better alone when I wore her more during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-babywearing-interfere-with-night-time-independent-sleep#post-1841225 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 19:36:13 +0000 heffalump 1841225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo has napped on me, either in my arms or in ergo until she turned 9 months. Now her morning nap is in the ergo or car seat and afternoon nap is in her crib. She's always slept well in her crib at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-babywearing-interfere-with-night-time-independent-sleep#post-1841220 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 19:29:55 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1841220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you baby wear a lot especially for naps does it intere with them being able to sleep alone at night? Or do you also co sleep? </p> <p>Asking particularly about newborns or young infants but any input welcome. </p>
