I was petrified because she never even let me open her door to check on her at night. There was absolutely no sleep that night. Now that LO is almost 4 she asks to sleep with us when she's sick. It still means a sleepless night.

He sprained his foot and woke up sore at 6am so I gave him medicine and he curled up and fell right to sleep with me. Never ever happens, but if he would actually be calm and sleep we would let him. As soon as he is in our bed he's usually crazy.

So I see the argument for cosleeping at least a bit when your baby is little-so they learn how to do it. Mine never has and doesn't know how to. Perhaps when she's older and in a big bed maybe she'll want to cuddle while she falls asleep or something although it doesn't seem likely with her personality the way it is right now. I babysit a boy whose parents cosleep whenever he is ill or sleeping rough and he naps on their bed on the weekends and stuff. He can just be cuddled to sleep. It makes me a bit jealous sometimes!

It doesn't work. She sits up and looks around in bewildered entranced wonder.

They prefer to be alone.

DD feels better with lots of mommy cuddles.

We have a king bed and she's a good snuggler so we just let her stay. youboots on "If you don't cosleep on a regular basis..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-cosleep-on-a-regular-basis#post-2665715 Thu, 15 Dec 2016 11:17:39 +0000 youboots 2665715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes sometimes as long as everyone is sleeping.

Particularly when there is vomiting involved. I'm convinced that I can minimize the mess by staying close.

Usually it's dh since I haveto get up with the baby. The baby won't really sleep in our bed and we haven't tried in ages. We end up just rocking her in her room. autumnlove on "If you don't cosleep on a regular basis..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-dont-cosleep-on-a-regular-basis#post-2665696 Thu, 15 Dec 2016 11:02:56 +0000 autumnlove 2665696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Do your kids sleep with you when they are sick? LO 2 always wants to sleep with us when she doesn't feel well. We are usually too tired to try to keep her in her room!
