It didn't take long for him to figure out sippy cup or sleep were the best options! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cosleep-and-breastfeed#post-1455106 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 14:38:34 +0000 MoonMoon 1455106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! He's almost 9 months and nurses 4+ times through the night, often without either of us fully waking up or making a sound! Sometimes it's annoying, but I'm really grateful for this arrangement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cosleep-and-breastfeed#post-1455102 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 14:37:36 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1455102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, which is why we stopped cosleeping! My sleep was just not restful. When he is sick or teething and we end up cosleeping he feeds a ton a night, mostly just because it's there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cosleep-and-breastfeed#post-1455082 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 14:32:24 +0000 Arden 1455082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. A ton. I sleep topless and rarely wake up, and neither does she. This is how she sleeps 10-10 every night. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cosleep-and-breastfeed#post-1455067 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 14:29:33 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 1455067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes he does. He's 17 months and is so inconsistent. We bring him whenever he wakes up after we've already gone to bed (which varies). Some nights he'll want to nurse every hour (kill me!). Some nights we bring him in and he falls asleep no nursing and sleeps till morning (not often enough!). </p> <p>I wish he'd figure it out. :silly: </p> <p>@skipra: We tried the sippy cup replacement and he was MAAAAD. I lost my resolve after night too. I'm a lazy momma :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cosleep-and-breastfeed#post-1454041 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 11:53:39 +0000 lovehoneybee 1454041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't co-sleep anymore, and he's weaned, but when we were co-bedding he nursed off and on all night. I was awesome because he just turned towards me and I could bring my tank strap down pretty much in my sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cosleep-and-breastfeed#post-1454028 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 11:52:14 +0000 Alivoo01 1454028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! DS wakes up or sleep-wakes up, turns towards me and starts mouthing/searching for my boob. If he can't find it after a few seconds, he gets up upset. I've been trying to sleep further away from him and sometimes he'll put himself back to sleep, but most of the time, he gets upset. I've also been trying to put him back to sleep by picking him up and cradling him with slight rocking and no nursing. It works 50/50. Nursing is just so much easier so it just depends on how tired I am at that time. Ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cosleep-and-breastfeed#post-1453924 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 11:32:16 +0000 cmomma17 1453924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We call that "sleeping at the tap" :silly:<br /> During our stretch of co sleeping LO definitely nursed 4-5 times a night! Now I still bring him into bed to nurse, but am trying to get much better at putting him back in his crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cosleep-and-breastfeed#post-1453610 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 10:25:17 +0000 skipra 1453610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bring DS when he wakes in the middle of the night and cosleep the rest of the night. He used to nurse several times and it was making me crazy so I started only letting him have a sippy cup if he wouldn't go back to sleep. He definitely still would nurse if I let him but he doesn't get fussy about it any more. The early morning nursing session is really important to him though, he refuses to get up if he hasn't had it yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-cosleep-and-breastfeed#post-1453435 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 09:54:54 +0000 autumnlove 1453435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does your LO still eat during the night?</p> <p>We aren't regular cosleepers but I shared a bed with my 10 month old for a night during our vacation. I think she nursed 4-5 times....she normally doesn't eat in the middle of the night. </p>
