This is us to a T. LO2 slept in her crib from night 1 (in our room). We even put her back in there after all wake ups. This continued to work even when we moved her to get own room around 6 months. But then teething happened, and many nights we have both darn kids in our bed from midnight-ish on. Ugh. I don't have the energy to fight it currently.

But to be honest, I think this is mostly kid driven. LO2 had been a better sleeper and much more independent baby from the beginning.

I think this time around I'm more knowledgable and have more confidence. DD2 is 5 weeks and sleeps next to me in bed but I do plan to put her in a bassinet then hopefully crib after 6 mo. I'm totally open to cosleeping again tho.. To me it's not just a way to cope; I truly loved it and still miss having DD1 in bed with us.

@Cole: one of the bloggers posted about this! I want to say ms cereal?

@LindsayLou: @Cole: if you guys plan to transition your older I advise to do it soon! We totally procrastinated setting up her big girl room and then we were just lazy and wanted good sleep/more snuggle time. She was napping in her room but we only moved her for night when I cam home to the hospital... So I think all the transitions were a bit much. It kinda works out that DH sleeps in there with her now so that he can get some sleep too

LO1 used to come in our bed every night. As soon as he got in he would sleep the rest of the night without waking. When LO2 was born, we had him in a cradle next to the bed. LO1 didn't like being woken up by him so he just started staying in his bed all night. It was amazing!
LO2 was mostly staying in his bed by the time LO3 arrived but there are still some nights he ends up with us. We make sure LO3 stays in the RnP if LO2 comes into our bed.
