We don't other than when our daughter comes into our room in the middle of the night and snuggles in between us.

No, we never have. DH was ultra paranoid about this when E was an infant and now that he's a toddler he's all knees and elbows, so no one would get any sleep.
-
No way. We have tried (vacation and when LO 2 is sick) but my LOs are violent bed hogs.
-
I voted no....but sometimes if R wakes at an ungodly hour I bring him to bed and nurse/sleep with him. T we have bed shared on vacation and it just led to demanding it at home = not good!
-
We co slept with her for a good 2 years. With some resistance from DD we successfully have her sleep in her own bed. It took us about 3 months LOL.
-
We have off and on. My son had a good stretch from 11 months to 2 years where he slept alone, but we're back at it. He's 4 and I am ready to move him out, lol.
-
My DD is almost 9 months and sleeps with us. She has since the first night we brought her home! Will probably try and stop sometime after she turns 1.
-
We never have.
-
On occasion, I wish my daughter would sleep well with us! Love when she does!
-
not for a long time or in rare situations where she just won't go to sleep, but usually DH sleeps with her. she's too active for me and i can't fall asleep. when she was an infant, she was in our room but in a cosleeper, so she had her own space.
-
We are right now, although I am still super paranoid about it, and was totally against it (for us) before my son was born. We just get so much better sleep, and it's easier to nurse at night lying down.
-
No. Hubs was really paranoid about it. The few times we have brought him into our bed, none of us sleep. He gets too excited about being in there with us so he's all over the place!
-
Yes every night with DS1 and sometimes with DS2 if he wakes up in the middle of the night. It feels very natural. And I enjoy the extra cuddles.
-
For the first few months we did. We've tried occasionally since but he takes up a lot of room and it's pretty uncomfortable
-
We did for the first 6 months with E, when he's sick now, and occasionally when we travel. He sleeps a billion times better alone, though (except when he's sick, then he needs Mama), so it's hard for any of us to get any good sleep. When he's sick D usually sleeps on the futon so we have more space.
-
No, my son isn't very snuggley. I would like if he would get into our bed for an extra hour on a Saturday morning or something but he has no interest.
-
Yes, we still cosleep at nearly 3 years old. My LO is *extremely* snuggly and wants to sleep right next to me, sharing my pillow and holding my hand, every single night. She will want to sleep on her own before she leaves for college, I’m sure….I’m hoping.
-
We didn't until about 6 months and then I wasn't scared of smothering him in my sleep. He always goes to bed in his crib, but during rough periods of regression and teething I sleep with him in the guest bedroom if he wakes up during the night.
-
Not regularly but we have let her sleep in bed with us a few times as a toddler. Once or twice as an infant but it was horrible sleep for me!
-
We're not bedsharing at the moment but I slept with Miss A from 6-20 months (just from the first wake up) and it made life much easier allowed us all to get plenty of sleep. Wee chap is six weeks and sleeps in the bassinet next to our bed but he'll be moving into his own room when he's ready for the cot (probably within the next month because he's getting big!!)
-
@yoursilverlining: Aw! My little boy is like that too. He likes for me to lay next to him and hug him. He curls up in a little ball next to me. It's the sweetest feeling. Last night he kept whispering "love you mama." I will so miss that when he starts sleeping on his own.
-
@yoursilverlining: that is so sweet.
They will not go off to college sleeping in bed with us. I know it's true.
-
Only out of desperation when we're away from home and they won't sleep in their pack n plays. No one gets much sleep when we're co-sleeping, but at least they aren't crying the whole time like when they're in the PNPs. We try sometimes to bring our early risers to our bed in the morning on the weekends to see if we can get some extra sleep while they nurse, but it never works. It's too exciting in our room, especially once they catch sight of our dog.
-
We fell into it around 2 months and embraced it until about 4 months, then went to crib as primary. Occasionally during regressions, he'd end up back in bed with us. And even now, at 2.5, when he's sick or wakes up too late to get himself back to sleep, we'll bring him to bed, but it isn't the magical tool it used to be.
-
Never once.
-
Only when sick or teething or in an unfamiliar place. We both sleep much better on our own though.
-
Occasionally, and like @twodoghouse: said, only out of desperation, either when we are traveling or when DS is sick -which sadly is very often. Sometimes we bring him in our bed if he's up super early. That usually results in hair pulling, dental exams, and eye poking (by DS of DH and I). The dogs also view it as an invitation for one and all to join us in bed
-
Yes, most of the time. We didn't plan it that way, but around 6 months I decided I liked sleep better than I liked having my own bed. We toy with getting her to fall asleep in her own bed, but it is often not worth the fight.
@yoursilverlining: mine is this way, too! She is definitely a contact sleeper, and she needs to be *this close* to someone to fall in a deep sleep. I am that way too, though, so I can't blame her!
-
@CakeLady: Our dog comes up sometimes, too. Squish!!
-
@twodoghouse: Yep, once she sees the dog, it is all over.
-
She needs her space lol so nope. My baby isn't cuddly at all.
-
Sometimes we fall asleep together if I bring her in bed to side nurse. I don't usually slee well though, so I try not to make it a habit.
-
@winniebee: This!
Only when DD wakes in the MOTN and I am so tired I cant nurse her and get back up- I will sleep with her there. (but only in the guest room, DH gets too nervous with her in the bed and I do too! he is a heavy sleeper and would probably throw a pillow on top of her!)
-
Our five year old has started sleeping through the night in her own room just recently (last couple weeks). My sleep is so much better... But it appears Theo is taking her place
-
We don't typically but we're traveling right now and in a king bed suite so we all crashed in it last night since Ds no longer sleeps in a crib! Slept like normal and I loved the extra snuggles
-
If he wakes up around 5:30 DH might bring him in bed. I hate it. We room shared until about 9-10 mo with each.
-
Occasionally (some weeks are better than others) LO1 climbs into our bed in the middle of the night and sleeps with us. Some nights we don't even notice that he is there, but he manages to get in and put the blankets on top of himself. LO2 has never tolerated co-sleeping.
-
No, we never did. Not to sound mean but I like having the bed to myself (well, with DH lol) and just being able to have that alone time at night.
ETA: DS (21 months) has also never been a big cuddler and likes his own space when he sleeps so it just worked out that way. He slept in the same room as us though until 6 months, then we moved him to the crib in his own room. We'll see what baby #2 is like!
-
Nope. It was recommended to us by fellow adoptive parents but we were not having it. He happily sleeps in his crib.
-
@yoursilverlining: we're still cosleeping at almost two. My DD also likes to sleep rightuponme. My in-laws are always asking when she'll sleep in her own bed, and I tell them the house rule is if you're bringing boys home, you have to sleep in your own bed
They will not go off to college sleeping in bed with us. I know it's true.
