Olive is just over a year old and sleeps happily in her jail, I mean her crib.
Charlie is in a toddler bed, or actually just a futon that's on the ground. He loves it, but getting him down has definitely been trickier since he's no longer behind bars aka a crib.
Where does your LO sleep? Do they sleep well in there?

@mrbee: hahahaha DH and I totally call cribs jails too..
He sleeps in his crib and he loves it so much he won't sleep anywhere else- including with or on me.

Crib from night 1! He is 8 weeks. He sleeps 9-12 hours so I guess he likes it.

@lydg: Wow, amazing! Does he wake up at all or is it straight sleep?

He is in a bassinet in our room. He's only 9 days old, and wakes up twice a night to eat; so far he seems to like his bassinet! I am kind of dreading moving him to his crib (which is a whole 10 feet away from us).

DD is 2.5 and in a twin bed. She sleeps great in there. No difference from when she was in a crib.

DS has been sleeping in his crib since he was born. He's always slept well in it and has trouble sleeping elsewhere.

@mrbee: sure, when we both get really sick of our kids, we'll swap! and then that'll make us really miss them again!

DD has been in her crib from day 1 and like @Coco Bee, only really sleeps the best there. She also learned to nap in a pnp at grandmas when we work, but ultimately naps and sleeps best in the crib. Her crib is in our room about 5 feet from my bed. In a few weeks she will be going to her own room and I think I have more separation anxiety than her. I am freaking out about not having her right there.... might camp out in her room for a few days (or weeks) to make sure she's ok. Well ok to make sure I'm ok......

@mrbee he will occasionally wake up around 4 am on his own...i was a little worried about it so i asked his pediatrician about it on friday and she said it was great. i have a super baby!! (thank goodness b/c DH lives/works out of town 4-5 days a week!)

Crib. She loves it and sleeps really, really well, usually around 14 hours straight through.

She sleeps in her room on a twin mattress on the floor.
She usually sleeps 12 hours (straight though the night), but every once in a while she'll get up and come to our room.

DD sleeps in the bassinet of her PnP in our room and has brilliant sleep in there! She's 4 months old and does 12 hr stretches overnight in there. For naps, she'll sleep anywhere - on her playmate, the floor, Mummy's lap etc, it doesn't matter.

LO sleeps happily in her crib for naps and at night for 12 hours straight (woot!!)
@hilsy85: When Prettybaby was little, I had the same fears. I kept her in our room until she was just over 5 months old. I tried mover her over earlier and she wasn't ready and neither was I. They let you know when it's time. By that point she was waking up if we moved or did anything and she needed her own space.

DD sleeps in her crib for most of the night. Sometime between 5 and 7 AM she wakes up and doesn't go back down easily by just putting in her binky. At that point she gets moved into bed with us for the remainder of the night (we get up with her usually around 7:30-8 AM). She definitely sleeps better in bed with me, but I'm glad she can stay in her crib alone for most of the night. Last week while she was sick she spent the majority of the night with me for a couple of nights. It was tough convincing her to go back to the crib after that!

Wagon Jr. is STILL in his crib. After he learned not to vault out of it, he's never tried to climb out. He actually loves it in there now and most mornings we have trouble convincing him to come out. He'll be 3 in December, but we figure, if he's not complaining we'll just leave him in the crib. We have the rail to make it a toddler bed ready. We just moved him into his "big boy room" (to move LMW into the nursery) two nights ago and he's doing great so far.
LMW slept in all kinds of places (rock n play, swing, bouncy chair, crib, bassinet) until her epic 5.5 hour swing nap two weeks ago. Now she sleeps in her crib at night and most naps. She's doing pretty well at night but most of her naps are now only 30 mins long

DD sleeps in her crib--she started sleeping through the night at 7 weeks old and we think its because she feels like a queen in her crib rather than the tiny bassinet where she has no room.
DS sleeps in his toddler bed, it took awhile for him to get use to it but for the most part he stays in it.

L's been sleeping in her crib since she was 3 months old. She sleeps very well in her crib - she has a really hard time sleeping anywhere else.

LO sleeps in a crib, but at 16 months he is already trying to figure out how to vault out and we're going to transition him to a floor bed sooner than later.

Our younger one happily sleeps in her crib. My husband now has a permanent single futon in our son's room. My son is in his toddler bed. I'm wondering if switching him into a real mattress would help him.

She's in a crib, and she sleeps awesome. From 8:20- at least 8:30, usually later.

Naps in her crib, and then half the night in her crib and half the night in our bed. She does not sleep well anywhere.

my LO doesn't sleep well anywhere besides in bed with me! he will go down in his crib at first only for about 3 hours then sleeps the rest of the night in our bed.

At the moment my LO doesn't like sleeping anywhere. fwiw, when she sleeps 95% of the time it's in her crib, the other 5% in bed with us.

On a mattress on the floor. We never had a crib; LO has always slept there and done so fairly soundly.

For the past 2-3 weeks dd has been sleeping her first 2-3 hours in her crib and the rest of the night in bed with us. She isn't/never had been a great sleeper, but will sleep a 5-7 hour stretch once in bed with me. I'm so jealous of babies who sleep well-12 hours through wow!

My LO sleeps amazingly for 35 hours a day in his crib. Haha. But seriously, he can sleep in pack and plays and his travel crib just fine but sleeps like a dream in his crib and really seems to love it in there.

DS is 20 months and has slept snuggled next to me in bed every night of his life so far. When we were at his cousin's house we put him in her crib/jail and he was totally perplexed! He immediately tried to climb out of it.

Toddler Girl sleeps in her room on two stacked twin mattress on the floor. She sleeps pretty well 
Wonder Baby sleeps in a crib in our room. She also takes a morning nap in the Ergo because I can't get her to settle on her own, and often takes the second half of her afternoon nap on the nursing pillow propped up on the compute desk (but in my lap, does that make sense?) Which is where she just woke up from, nap time over.
