And now we're cosleeping half the night

LO wins. We need sleep and can't convince him to sleep in his crib the second part of the night due to his separation anxiety. I am hoping as that improves we'll be able to get him back to his room.

    I'm sorry. FWIW, my sister has been letting my niece sleep with her for half the night as well. She turned 16 months today.

    :( Amelia is still cosleeping with us. She wakes up anywhere between 12 and 1am to come snuggle with us. I'm struggling to get her back in her room. I hope you have an easier time.

    Ugh. I'm sorry.  It has to pass right-the separation anxiety?

    I just realized I'm totally being used for middle of the night feedings that she doesn't really "need" anymore.  not looking forward to trying to break this cycle starting next week.

    Forget all the "shoulds" and "supposed to's."  You know your baby better than anyone else does.  If it works for you, and it works for him, then it WORKS.  :)

     

    I say, enjoy the snuggles.  Soon enough, he will be off at slumber parties and embarrassed that you want a kiss goodnight.   Babies grow up fast enough without us pushing them.  Sleep

    We're in the same boat. Once we bring her to our bed she snuggles up and is out. Otherwise it takes us at least 1hr to try to get her into her crib. She'll want milk and will need to rock her to sleep. And once she's in her crib she'll wake in another couple hrs.

    We started around 8 or 9 months and DD is 20 months old now and still in our bed.  We did have her in a big girl bed for a couple weeks but then her canines sare coming in and she's been sick with a cold for over a week so now she is back in our bed again.

    DD is 3 months & I've been cosleeping with her in the mornings after DH goes to work for the past 1-1.5 months so I can get more sleep.  She just started this phase where she doesn't seem to be able to (or want to) sleep well unless she's practically comatose or attached to the boob.  I've started to do night feedings in bed because I need the sleep, but I'm afraid that she'll never want to go back to her bed, either.
     
    I love cosleeping with her, but want to be able to choose when to do it, so I think I understand where you're coming from.  I hope this phase passes quickly for both of us!

    How about a play yard in your room? We have a Chicco play yard with the MamaDoo Kids mattress topper and everyone is comfy and happy and sleeping well. We use both items also when traveling as they are portable. Good luck!
