DS is too much of a roly poly to sleep with us right now; he's all over the bed! I hope once he gets older and settles down a bit cosleeping will be good for us again. brownie on "Would your baby co-sleep with you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-your-baby-co-sleep-with-you#post-300613 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 23:38:14 +0000 brownie 300613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Our LO cosleeps starting at 6 months and he is now 17 months old. We did it less for cuddles and more to reverse cycle and me get some sleep. Sometimes it is great and cuddly and sometimes, he wants to nurse constantly. This is hard when I just want to sleep. And we disturb each other. I'm hopeful that my next will cosleep but I'm not sure.

I would bring him into my bed around 4-5am when he had his early morning feeding, and we'd sleep til about 8 then "play" in bed. But once we sleep trained him, he stopped doing that. @stargal: I know! I miss that too. He always slept on me. soo sweet. now he wouldn't fit lol @Andrea: well he definitely slept better with us in the early months. But once we ditched the swaddle and he was in his crib, he started stretching out and rolling over and now I think he likes his space. In some families I do think that cosleeping is the best option for them; I know some families that practice the family bed and even the family room (older child sleeps in the room and the youngest in their bed) and that's great for them. pinkcupcake on "Would your baby co-sleep with you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-your-baby-co-sleep-with-you#post-300605 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 23:28:33 +0000 pinkcupcake 300605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My LO is a huge cuddler/snuggler but not a fan of cosleeping...girlfriend likes her space. Sometimes I try to keep her in bed with me but she likes to move around and stretch so it doesn't work too well :( BoogieBea on "Would your baby co-sleep with you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-your-baby-co-sleep-with-you#post-300604 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 23:25:01 +0000 BoogieBea 300604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My son loved cosleeping with us even though we didn't do it often when he was a baby. Now, he would sleep in our bed full time if he had a choice. My daughter never liked cosleeping even when she's sick. She doesn't even like cuddling all that much. I am happy that she is independent but I miss the baby cuddles. stargal on "Would your baby co-sleep with you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-your-baby-co-sleep-with-you#post-300603 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 23:24:57 +0000 stargal 300603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ yup but he's only ten weeks so time will tell ;) however i miss when he use to fall asleep on my chest as a newborn. now he still can but its not so easy to get him to just lay there and relax to fall asleep. skibobrown on "Would your baby co-sleep with you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-your-baby-co-sleep-with-you#post-300602 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 23:24:50 +0000 skibobrown 300602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My daughter sleeps in her crib for most of the night, but the only way to keep her asleep past 5 AM is to bring her into bed with us. I love my snuggly baby time in the morning, and I get to wake up to my sweet daughter around 7:30 AM on most mornings. ...She wakes up by "chatting" and kicking me in the side ;-) Andrea on "Would your baby co-sleep with you?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-your-baby-co-sleep-with-you#post-300601 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 23:23:54 +0000 Andrea 300601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Only for the first week or so. DD was never a fan of co-sleeping. I think that is fine for the long run. I think everyone sleeps better if they have their own space. But there are some nights when I "miss" her after she has gone to bed and I am tempted to crawl into her twin bed and cuddle!

He just woke up an hour ago and I nursed him for about 20 minutes and he was mostly asleep, I wanted to snuggle with him, but as soon as I popped him off my boob he was putting his face and hands down my bra again, then getting mad. But the moment I put him in his crib, he rolls over and goes to sleep. It's not the first time this has happened either. Some nights I just "miss him" and wouldn't mind losing a little sleep to enjoy some cuddle times with my sweet boy... but he won't sleep otherwise. (sadness) I do like that he is independent and likes his space to sleep; but I also want to cherish this special short time of his life... does your LO sleep with you; would they even let you?
