We try not to and at least not all night but he sleeps much more soundly and for longer stretches. I don't sleep as well because I can't move around or stretch out. I think part of it is because when he sleeps with us he's propped up on my arm and it helps the gas.

They wake up around 6am in their own beds, but 7:30 in mine! Too bad I sleep terrible when they are in bed with me. runsyellowlites on "Does your lo sleep better when you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-sleep-better-when-you-co-sleep#post-476980 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 00:36:18 +0000 runsyellowlites 476980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, we co-sleep and co-bed for part of the night. I do enjoy my few hours of sleep without her in the bed, but after she wakes it's easier for all of us to co-bed & her nurse as she pleases. pinkcupcake on "Does your lo sleep better when you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-sleep-better-when-you-co-sleep#post-476979 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 00:32:55 +0000 pinkcupcake 476979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ She did when she was a newborn. Now at 10.5 months, I find that she sleeps better alone. boiledpnut on "Does your lo sleep better when you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-sleep-better-when-you-co-sleep#post-476668 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 21:37:06 +0000 boiledpnut 476668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. Tricycle: How do you make sure he doesn't roll off you when he's sleeping on your chest? You're sleeping too, right? That is the only way ds will sleep so far. prettylizy on "Does your lo sleep better when you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-sleep-better-when-you-co-sleep#post-476640 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 21:24:45 +0000 prettylizy 476640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ During her sleep regression the only time I got any real sleep was when she was in bed with us. I did a lot of dreamfeeding just to survive in those days. After she finished her regression, she suddenly didn't sleep well with us at all, she is a mover and needs her space. Also, our noises will wake her up now, which they didn't when she was smaller. skibobrown on "Does your lo sleep better when you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-sleep-better-when-you-co-sleep#post-476634 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 21:21:38 +0000 skibobrown 476634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes. It's our fall back when she wakes up in the night and won't go back down. She *always* falls back asleep easily in bed with us. For that reason, she usually spends full nights in bed with us when she's sick. I hate that we get in the habit of co-sleeping b/c I am much happier when she sleeps in her crib, but it is sooo easy, and it makes her so happy to sleep all snuggled up w/ mom and dad.. winniebee on "Does your lo sleep better when you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-sleep-better-when-you-co-sleep#post-476588 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 21:03:20 +0000 winniebee 476588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope. He never has slept with us - thinks ts play time. I have tried on a few occasions when he is sick - he will sleep on my chest but not actually in the bed.

I sometimes think he just needs his win queen bed! loveisstrange on "Does your lo sleep better when you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-sleep-better-when-you-co-sleep#post-473829 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 14:16:25 +0000 loveisstrange 473829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope, we all sleep better in our own beds.

Dude thinks he should have the whole bed and get pissy if we think otherwise. keiki_mama on "Does your lo sleep better when you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-sleep-better-when-you-co-sleep#post-473776 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 13:37:09 +0000 keiki_mama 473776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ For the first four months or so, yes! Now at 9 months, no way! He prefers his crib and he sleeps too crazy to be in bed with us. Mrs. Tricycle on "Does your lo sleep better when you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-sleep-better-when-you-co-sleep#post-473760 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 13:08:17 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 473760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes! At least during weeks 3-5 (where we are now), he's much easier to sooth back to sleep and he falls asleep much more quickly when he sleeps with me. Oddly, I also relax way more when he's on my chest - I think it would be disruptive, but I have significantly more anxiety when he's sleeping someplace else. It'd be nice to co-sleep in bed with DH, but he's a super heavy sleeper so for now we're on the couch. So never thought Id be one of those moms! brownie on "Does your lo sleep better when you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-sleep-better-when-you-co-sleep#post-473759 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 13:08:05 +0000 brownie 473759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm not so sure. We fee off of each other so if he stirs I stir and if I stir he stirs. But I do get more sleep that way. lovehoneybee on "Does your lo sleep better when you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-sleep-better-when-you-co-sleep#post-473754 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 13:03:26 +0000 lovehoneybee 473754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yeah, he definitely sleeps better with us, and so do I. Mrs. Pen on "Does your lo sleep better when you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-sleep-better-when-you-co-sleep#post-473751 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 13:01:56 +0000 Mrs. Pen 473751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not anymore - he moves around like crazy or won't fall/stay asleep. He definitely sleeps better in his bed now. But he slept best with us for the first 3-4 months. sarac on "Does your lo sleep better when you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-sleep-better-when-you-co-sleep#post-473746 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 12:58:26 +0000 sarac 473746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, far far better. I can't do it, otherwise we'd probably cosleep full time. My husband sleeps with her on her floorbed part of the night a few times a week. They also snuggle up for morning naps most weekend days, which is adorable. I'd personally say that most children would sleep better with a parent or sibling. Not all. yoursilverlining on "Does your lo sleep better when you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-sleep-better-when-you-co-sleep#post-473415 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 07:44:29 +0000 yoursilverlining 473415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yup; we all sleep better! It's 7:42 and LO just woke up (went to bed at 8pm, slept straight through) and is happily babbling to herself :) heffalump on "Does your lo sleep better when you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-sleep-better-when-you-co-sleep#post-473414 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 07:42:39 +0000 heffalump 473414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ She thinks if I'm there its play time. chopsuey on "Does your lo sleep better when you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-sleep-better-when-you-co-sleep#post-473406 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 07:36:54 +0000 chopsuey 473406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ As newborns/infants, yes. Dd sleeps better alone now.

I'm really terrified of giving in to trying co sleeping on a rough night. My husband is so large I don't trust him not to smush her! mediagirl on "Does your lo sleep better when you co-sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-sleep-better-when-you-co-sleep#post-473386 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 06:20:18 +0000 mediagirl 473386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ It's totally a coincidence that M slept great once I pulled her into our bed last night. Right? :-)
