We still Co sleep with lo and she is 10 months. She sleeps through the night now but it was a little bit of a struggle because she was teething. I think she sleeps better co sleeping with us because when she wakes up she sees she's near us and then goes back to sleep

Right around 4/5 months co-bedding stopped working for us. Too much squirming and he refused to fall asleep. This is when we transitioned to a Rock 'n Play, but we still shared a room for a little while longer.

@Baby Boy Mom: thank you for asking this question! I am very curious too. LO regressed at 4.5 months and we haven't recovered either. Makes me sad! I agree, I think because they smell the milk they're more apt to search for the boob to comfort in the night. Does your LO take a soother? Do you put LO to bed in your bed first or crib then at first wake up move him into your bed?

I'm not ready to move him out but wonder if I should start thinking about it. How was the transition with your toddler? LO is not a good self soother at all so it worries me!!

LO started sleeping through the night as soon as we started co-bedding. She is almost 14 months and STTN, we mostly still co-bed but sometimes she sleeps on her floorbed, which is in our bedroom. She had a little bit of sleep regression around 9 months, but not much.

@Baby Boy Mom: hmmm mine does too! I think that definitely makes it harder.
That sounds like a good set up with the twin bed.

I'm not ready to sleep train yet but maybe I'm just putting off the inevitable - not sure?!! Lol Glad it worked so quickly and well for you with toddler boy.

That's a toughie on what to do though, as you may have everyone waking up for the first while. Everyone that I know that has coslept/bed says that you 'just know' when it's time? I'd guess that time is whenever it isn't working well anymore. That said how do you know if the night waking are from a 'wonder week' per say - or if you don't believe in that a developmental phase of some sort. Teeth?

Sorry I'm really not much of a help at all! Keep me updated.

We co slept from the beginning with DS who is now 2.5 years. We have a queen bed plus a sidecarred crib, though he never slept in the crib. He night nursed until he was 22 months and stopped when he stopped nursing. This was the last session to go. He did it pretty naturally and also I was pregnant.

For me I feel like it will be time to move him out when he's old enough to be excited for his own space. Until then... we are going to need a bigger bed!

@Baby Boy Mom: she dropped it on her own. Took a lite while but she started to sttn again around 7 months. She had a couple of sleep regressions Before 7 months

@Baby Boy Mom: DD only sleeps through the night when we co bed.. I've created a monster..

@Baby Boy Mom: we love it actually

We started cosleeping after the 4mo regression. LO doesn't sleep through the night but wake ups were more manageable with him in bed with us. At 13mo he is now sleeping longer in his crib (7:30-1ish) huge for us. We miss him now though, go figure.

We were also in the never camp but it is so lovely to have him next to us.
