Honestly with my kids being so close when my oldest gets kicked out the baby will at the same time. But who knows when that will be. They don't wake each other up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-co-sleep-with-1#post-2408801 Mon, 04 Jan 2016 13:52:25 +0000 Alivoo01 2408801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 2.5 and currently sleeps with us in the middle/between me and DH. He rolls too much to sleep on the edge (aka we've had quite a few falls despite "blocking" him in). </p> <p>DD is due to arrive in about 2/2.5 months so will be in a PnP or Halo Bassinet the first month or two. We're hoping she takes to her own bed/crib early on and stays there. </p> <p>DS couldn't be sleep trained and was sick every month his first year so that's how we ended up co-sleeping. There's not way he'll sleep in his own bed now. We've tried numerous times, even bringing in a bed for him into our room, but he'll just shake his head, run to our bed, climb up, get comfy then tell us to "lie down" so we can all go to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-co-sleep-with-1#post-2408584 Mon, 04 Jan 2016 11:56:46 +0000 Jruess 2408584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My girls are 18 months apart. I was planning to have DD#2 sleep in a bassinet or rock in play in our room in the beginning but she wasn't sleeping well unless in bed next to me. I bought a side rail for our king bed and sleep in between the girls. For the most part it has been great. They occasionally wake each other up but go right back to sleep so it was never a problem. We did add a white noise machine to help. It's getting harder now as the youngest is 10 months old &amp; wants to stand and play instead of going to bed. The oldest went through a spell where she would wake her sister up as soon as she woke up by touching her, kissing her, telling her hi, etc. 😊 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-co-sleep-with-1#post-2408536 Mon, 04 Jan 2016 11:40:41 +0000 Mrs. Cereal 2408536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: @snowjewelz: No protests from #1 and no wake ups either. She generally sleeps through his feedings. We also use a dohm noise machine so that probably helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-co-sleep-with-1#post-2408520 Mon, 04 Jan 2016 11:35:35 +0000 snowjewelz 2408520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cereal: Did #2 wake #1 up tho for MOTN feedings and what not? </p> <p>@Mrs. Pink: DH would be 100% opposed to yet another body in the bed too, haha! He always says he sleeps in a twin size king lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-co-sleep-with-1#post-2407520 Sun, 03 Jan 2016 01:49:05 +0000 Mrs. Pink 2407520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd love to cosleep FOREVER or move to one of those cool family beds where everyone is close but you know, not trying to fit 4 people in a bed 😂</p> <p>My 2 year old plays to much at bedtime and is rowdy (before bed? Totally fine. Lights off? Freaking mosh pit) and so it's more of a "I only like this when you're asleep" type feeling that's pushing it into the "get outta my bed you beast" attitude I have. She actually slammed her face into my husbands forehead last night- he had tooth marks and she bloodied her nose. That's an extreme example but she jumps around and tries to stay awake-- and her head is like a wrecking ball!</p> <p>She usually calms down once she's injured or gotten hurt feelings from being shouted at because she's narrowly missed my nose... But that half hour? Hell. </p> <p>I miss teeny baby snuggles... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-co-sleep-with-1#post-2407519 Sun, 03 Jan 2016 01:45:02 +0000 Mrs. Pink 2407519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: yep! June 7th! Are you on the June '16 board? I'm still trying to keep track of everyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-co-sleep-with-1#post-2407514 Sun, 03 Jan 2016 01:04:17 +0000 hellocupcake 2407514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did divide and conquer. DH slept with LO1 in the guest room (queen bed) until we felt LO2 was old enough for us all to cosleep (9/10months). We now share the bed (king) with both babies (15 months and 3yo) and don't see an end in sight. We love the arrangement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-co-sleep-with-1#post-2407512 Sun, 03 Jan 2016 01:01:22 +0000 pinkcupcake 2407512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pink: are you due in June too? I'm due June 29 :) Congrats and FX that your #1 will be in her own bed by then! (I've given up hope on mine... Sigh)</p> <p>@sera_87: tbat would be awesome if our #2 was an independent sleeper! I'll have to def keep my FX for that :)</p> <p>@Mrs. Cereal: good to hear it's working out for you! Did you have any protests from #1 when #2 joined you in bed? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-co-sleep-with-1#post-2407509 Sun, 03 Jan 2016 00:45:55 +0000 Mrs. Cereal 2407509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL #1 was 17 months when #2 was born. We side-cared the crib to the bed (king size) the day we brought home #2. #1 sleeps most of the night in the crib or right on the edge of the bed and crib and #2 sleeps in the middle of the bed in between hubby and me. It's working out pretty well so far, #2 is 6 months old now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-co-sleep-with-1#post-2407503 Sun, 03 Jan 2016 00:26:05 +0000 sera_87 2407503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard of sidecar-ing the crib to make sure everyone is safe. Does lo1 sleep in between you? I would start moving her to sleep on either side of you(s) so lo2 can go in the middle. </p> <p>Also I co bedded with 1 but #2 wanted nothing to do with it so he was on his own from pretty much day 1. Maybe that'll happen with you too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-co-sleep-with-1#post-2407501 Sun, 03 Jan 2016 00:24:29 +0000 Mrs. Pink 2407501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>following!! LO #1 is only 2 and we've moved a twin bed into our room along side our king but I'm not confidant that she'll actually be in her own room by June... especially since this week, she's still not interested in staying in her bed until after she's fallen asleep in our bed....</p> <p>Hubby is 100% opposed to another body in our bed... so I'm getting a cosleeper... but it will not fit with a king and a twin in our room already!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-co-sleep-with-1#post-2407500 Sun, 03 Jan 2016 00:21:22 +0000 pinkcupcake 2407500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>... what did you do when #2 arrived?</p> <p>LO #1 is almost 4 years old and still in bed with us. I doubt she will be moving to her own room any time soon (and we're fine with it, we don't want to rush her at all and want to wait until she's comfortable sleeping alone, whether that's age 4, 5, or 40. LOL). I'm planning on keeping LO #2 in our room for the first few months at least in a crib in our room, but would like to transition him/her out to their own room around 6 months. </p> <p>But what happens if #1 is still sleeping w/us? Anyone else in this situation? Are we just gonna end up with another body in our bed? (thank God it's a king) </p>
