See, it was the right choice :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-be-ok-with-quitting-co-sleeping/page/2#post-1125305 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 07:29:42 +0000 MrsF 1125305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We moved M to her own room at 8 or 9 weeks and we all slept so much better. You have to do what you think is best for your family. Glad you had a good night!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-be-ok-with-quitting-co-sleeping/page/2#post-1125290 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 07:14:49 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1125290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: please don't be so hard on yourself! If you're waking each other up, neither of you are getting a good nights rest. </p> <p>I co-slept and co-bed with Chloe for about 12 weeks. We transitioned her into her crib mid-January 2012. If she woke up in the middle of the night, we let her come in our bed. She's almost 2 and we still do.. But she also sleeps like a starfish so it isn't comfortable for anyone involved. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-be-ok-with-quitting-co-sleeping/page/2#post-1125281 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 07:11:02 +0000 lawbee11 1125281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: It pisses me off that you got mommy-shamed for this. Why do other people care where your child sleeps?! I am glad you did what's best for you and got some much needed sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-be-ok-with-quitting-co-sleeping/page/2#post-1125265 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 06:59:41 +0000 bushelandapeck 1125265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yay! Gald to hear you both got some much needed sleep! We kept LO in our room until just shy of 6 months. I wish I had moved him sooner because we both slept so much better once we did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-be-ok-with-quitting-co-sleeping/page/2#post-1125257 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 06:51:24 +0000 Smurfette 1125257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: :happy: :happy: :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-be-ok-with-quitting-co-sleeping#post-1125228 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 06:12:02 +0000 Boheme 1125228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Only got up twice! Or i could probably count it as once, since he got up the second time a few minutes before my alarm. I feel like a new person! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-be-ok-with-quitting-co-sleeping#post-1125212 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 05:40:13 +0000 Smurfette 1125212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: How did the whole night go?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-be-ok-with-quitting-co-sleeping#post-1125200 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 05:09:27 +0000 Ra 1125200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started putting B in his crib Monday night. I cried like a baby. </p> <p>He hasn't made it a full night yet, but we are working on it. Our goal was also 6 months but his pedi wants him moved into the crib (the RNP is making his head lopsided!)</p> <p>It sucks. You gotta do what's best for your family though. Screw those mommy-shamers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-be-ok-with-quitting-co-sleeping#post-1125195 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 04:34:35 +0000 rachiecakes 1125195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: awesome!! I'm a believer in the 'mom knows baby better than anyone' way of parenting.<br /> For us it was the opposite, I never intended on cosleeping but it was the only way we both slept. (Pedi suggested we move him at 4 months)<br /> Sounds like you both needed this :) congrats on the sleep, mama! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-be-ok-with-quitting-co-sleeping#post-1125193 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 03:38:07 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1125193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: Yayyyyy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-be-ok-with-quitting-co-sleeping#post-1125178 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 02:33:34 +0000 ALV91711 1125178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: glad it is going good. Hope he continues sleeping well in his own room and you get some sleep too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-be-ok-with-quitting-co-sleeping#post-1125177 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 02:33:01 +0000 deerylou 1125177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is my belief that nothing goes as planned, in the infant sleep department. When I was still pregnant, I planned to have DD in a bassinet until she was 3-6 months old, and then transfer her to the crib in the nursery. Now, at 11 weeks, we are still bed sharing - something I never thought I would be enthusiastic about. Truth is, DD is a pretty quiet, still sleeper, and we all sleep great, all the way through the night (save for my usual bouts of mild insomnia). There are no immediate plans to change our nighttime scenario, but I won't hesitate to reevaluate iff we all start keeping each other up.</p> <p>Do what works for you and your family! No use feeling guilty about providing quality sleep and a restful night of relaxation for all. So happy to hear tonight was a success! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-be-ok-with-quitting-co-sleeping#post-1125132 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 23:22:37 +0000 Mrsjets 1125132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awesome! So happy for you! Cheers to sleep :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-be-ok-with-quitting-co-sleeping#post-1125125 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 23:12:42 +0000 MamaJ 1125125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: Yay! Hope he does well the rest of the night :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-be-ok-with-quitting-co-sleeping#post-1125124 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 23:11:14 +0000 emg86 1125124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: Yay!!! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-be-ok-with-quitting-co-sleeping#post-1125121 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 23:04:35 +0000 Boheme 1125121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went for it. I figured why not go all the way if we're going to do this - DS is in his crib AND he isn't swaddled. Since I only got two hours of sleep last night, I figured it couldn't get any worse. And guess what?? He's giving me one of the longest stretches of sleep he's had in his little life! Looks like we needed our space :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-be-ok-with-quitting-co-sleeping#post-1123871 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 13:46:32 +0000 Kemma 1123871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha, my LO went in to her own room at four days old! Having said that, we've been part time bedsharing since six months old...</p> <p>Do what works! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-be-ok-with-quitting-co-sleeping#post-1123842 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 13:39:15 +0000 hilsy85 1123842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't let ANYONE shame you for anything--unless they're the ones waking up with him at all hours of the night, they don't get to make you feel bad!!</p> <p>I thought we'd have LO in our room for the first few months at least. We moved him to his room at 1 months. Confession: I wasn't even really sad about it! I was happy to have our room back to ourselves! </p> <p>If it's notworking anymore, then don't be afraid to change things. Nothing is permanent--you can always go back to co sleeping if the situation changes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-be-ok-with-quitting-co-sleeping#post-1123497 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 11:31:53 +0000 shopaholic 1123497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You mean co-sleeping in the same room? I moved K to her own room ~7 weeks I think? Total fluke and I wasn't planning it, but after that first amazing night of sleep after weeks of waking up to every single sound, we all slept better and I never looked back. That's not to say that there have been times when I go get her, so tired, nurse back to sleep and leave her in the bed with us. But I can never sleep that peacefully when she's in bed with us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-be-ok-with-quitting-co-sleeping#post-1123480 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 11:25:56 +0000 lamariniere 1123480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only co-slept for 6 weeks. It was completely fine moving DS to his own bed, first his bed in our room, then his own room around 2 months. I mean, he still slept like crap, but it was no worse than when he was in our bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-be-ok-with-quitting-co-sleeping#post-1123473 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 11:23:38 +0000 heartonastring 1123473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We coslept with DD in the PnP right beside me until three months. We had intended to go until six months, but none if us was sleeping very well and we all kept waking one another up. Everyone's slept better since she's been in her own room! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-be-ok-with-quitting-co-sleeping#post-1123471 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 11:23:23 +0000 .twist. 1123471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. I'm trying to figure this all out too. I don't like co-sleeping, but we do it out of desperation... He sleeps ok for the first stretch at night, but then he's up every hour after that and by 4 am I just can't take it any more and move him to our bed. It kicks my husband out, which I hate, but we at least all get sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-be-ok-with-quitting-co-sleeping#post-1123457 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 11:21:40 +0000 Smurfette 1123457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: When they are sleeping crappy is the best time. That is when we went ahead and swaddle weaned, she was getting up so much anyway. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-be-ok-with-quitting-co-sleeping#post-1123446 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 11:18:16 +0000 Boheme 1123446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: He takes incredible naps at daycare! And his teacher can always tell when we've had a bad night because he takes an extra nap all on his own. She weaned him off of sleeping in a Rock N Play, so I think tonight's the night we'll try out the crib! He already gets up so much I've got nothing to lose :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-be-ok-with-quitting-co-sleeping#post-1123431 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 11:14:32 +0000 Smurfette 1123431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it isn't working then try something else. How does he nap at day care? You both need sleep!</p> <p>We never co sleep, give or take a handful of times to just get her back to sleep for a couple hours, but we moved her in her room at 8 or 9 weeks and DH and I slept much better after that. We didn't have to tip toe when we went into bed. We could watch TV in bed again. Could have sex again without worrying waking her up. All in all in helped our marriage and us feeling like humans again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-be-ok-with-quitting-co-sleeping#post-1123429 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 11:13:38 +0000 Adira 1123429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never co-slept, but he was in a bassinet right next to my bed for the first 3 months and then we moved him into his crib in his own room after that and we all slept SOOOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER for it! We weren't waking each other up anymore! It was glorious!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-be-ok-with-quitting-co-sleeping#post-1123395 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 11:04:13 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1123395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just switched from co-bedding to having her in a Pack and Play - and I totally understand why people like having their LOs in a separate room. Babies are SO noisy. </p> <p>Do what works for you, mama. Sleep is precious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-be-ok-with-quitting-co-sleeping#post-1123368 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 10:54:40 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1123368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: We moved her to her own room really early. I just wans't sleeping hearing her stir all night long. </p>
