Nope. I'm also way too paranoid. She was in our room for the first month and a half, but in a bassinet.

I planned in not co sleeping but DS had reflux and needed to be in a vertical position to sleep. One thing led to another and here we are co sleeping.

As a rule we don't- I wanted to keep our bed ours and have him in his own space. About once a week he fusses too much, we are too tired, so we give in for part of the night just to get sleep. Only a couple of times has he spent the entire night in our bed.

In fact last night was my night off, so I really don't wake up for anything less than hysterics from my son or husband... and this morning I woke up to find my son and husband cuddled up in bed. Turns out it had only been from 5am on, so technically he made it all night in his crib.

I've only done it a handful of times on the odd night that he was really worked up for whatever reason, and in the guest bedroom. Papa Y is also a super deep sleeper.

We chose not to co-sleep and still don't (except for last week when we were on vacation and had to).

I thought I wouldn't because I didn't think I'd be able to sleep well. She slept next to our bed for the first 6 months and now she sleeps half the night in her bed and half the night in ours. I love the snuggles though. I'm hoping it's not too much drama to move her to her room but right now it's just so nice to snuggle in with her.

Sometimes you have to do things that you don't plan on doing, which in my case, was cosleeping. We did it from about 6 months to 9 months, because we had serious sleep regression. I slept in the nursery on the bed with my son.

I plan to do all I can to avoid co-sleeping. Not only am I paranoid, but I'm a fussy sleeper and DH's a deep sleeper. Plus, I take my sleep very seriously and wouldn't want to sacrifice our sleeping habits long-term.

I did hear that co-sleeping is the easier option. DH thinks he'll have a hard time saying no if our baby pouts and asks nicely. I, on the other hand will be more firm (at least that's the plan)!

I didn't swear we wouldn't, I just didn't think we would. Not out of any principle, I just didn't think it was going to be necessary. She slept in the swing for the first 10 weeks, and after that, it was obvious she slept MUCH better in bed with us. My husband works mostly nights, so I grew pretty attached to having my cuddle buddy in bed with me. (At bed time, she climbs in bed next to me and gives me a hug and yells, "Hi, cuddle buddy!" It's soooo cute!)

Now that we're transitioning her to her own bed before the new baby comes, I think I'm kind of dragging it out because I miss her! She's definitely ready for it, though, she actually sleeps better without us at this point. The tough part is getting her to stay in bed if she wakes up in the middle of the night- she keeps running into our room and jumping in bed with me around 2am.
