Those still rooming in

DCMerged

We'd like to keep our LO in our room unti he is 5 to 6 months. He is 3 mo now. For those of you still with your baby in your room, where are they sleeping? Ours is in a RnP but he seems to not be as comfortable in it as he was so we end up putting him in our bed when he starts fussing then he goes back to sleep. I don't want to start bedsharing now though.

We moved the crib in our room. She sleeps her first stretch in there and then is in bed with us after she wakes up from that.

LO always slept in her mini crib by my bed. She was STTN but now is waking 3x/ night.

I wouldn't start bedsharing now. We are currently bedsharing, and while it makes middle of night wakings easier as far as breastfeeding and going back to sleep goes, it is also encouraging my little one to wake up 6 to 8 times a night to nurse. I'm exhausted and we are now going to start transitioning to the crib (it is going to be right next to my bed) so we will stop waking each other up with our movement but he is still close.

LO sleeps in the basinett by our bed.

We use a cradle next to our bed. We bought it because it had a higher weight limit than most bassinets.  It should last until six months.

Henry sleeps in a pack n play (bassinet) in our room. I plan on keeping him there until he is 6 months.

We used a combination of RNP (until about 4-5 months), then co-sleeper and bedsharing until we moved her around 8 months.

We just have his crib in our room. Not that he doesnt have the whole king bed to himself while I sleep by the wall some nights

We do co-sleep. DD starts out in her crib (which is set right against our bed with that side taken off, basically turning it into an 'extension' of our bed), and whenever she wakes up to nurse for the first time I pull her in next to me. It's just easier to feed her that way without really getting up, etc.

DS is going on 7 months and sleeps in his crib in our room. I plan to keep him near for a while. Part of it is that we have a small apartment but I also like being able to glance over and know he is okay also.

DS sleeps in our room still and he is sleeping in a PNP. He will be in that until he is sleeping later than 4 am because he and DD will be sharing a room. Once we can get him to sleep until at least 7:30 he will be in a crib and DD a twin bed in the nursery.

In bed w me . I didn't start bed sharing w ds until he was about four months and it didn't cause him to wake more, which just shows that all babes area different.

I have been sleeping on a twin bed in the nursery since day 1. For the first month, LO hated his crib so much that I would basically just hold him all night. At one month we got him a RNP which he slept better in. At 4 months I transitioned him to his crib with a Magic Sleepsuit. Now I am about to take the big leap and move back in my room with the hubby! He is waking every hour at night to nurse so we are starting night time weaning and sleep training next week, and I think it's probably best for me to not be in his room anymore when we do so. It's going to be really hard on me to leave him!

I'm curious about this because our DS is almost 5 months old and wakes up often in the night without a particularly specific pattern. DD generally sleeps 7:30 to 6:30 with the very occasional 4am wake. She is rowdy toddler who loves her brother but is a bit rough with him and is quite jealous of him. We had her in her own room by 3 months old but I'm nervous to put DS in her room for fear of her climbing into his crib and accidentally hurting him. How long do you think we should wait? 

Thanks for you input!

He sleeps in the pack and play. It has a bassinet-type insert that we use. He seems really comfortable still.

We have a king size bed, which is right next to a twin sized bed, which has the crib sidecarred to it.  DH sleeps on the outside edge of the king.  Our 3yo either sleeps next to DH or in the crib.  Baby Bug sleeps on the twin bed.  I move back and forth between the king and twin beds.  The king is super comfy, but too squishy for a little baby.  The twin is much safer for Baby Bug, but isn't nearly as comfortable for me.

DD (4.5months) sleeps thru the night 9:30/10:00-5:30/6:00 very well. We still swaddle at night and she sleeps next to our bed in a RnP.  She is still very comfy in the RnP and will most likely not outgrow it until around 6 months. She is tiny though at only 11lbs./24" tall.

We are working on preparing her to sleep in her crib in her own room by the end of the year (7 months). So, we have started having her nap unswaddled and laying flat, and I have her spending some play time in her crib in her room, then we will move to having her nap in her crib, unswaddle at night in our room, and finally unswaddled and in her crib in her own room. Hopefully, the slow transition will work and she will continue to be a good sleeper.

DS2 is in his crib beside our bed.

Reading about all the beds in your house being squished together made me all warm and fuzzy. That sounds so cozy! It makes me think of all those old books and movies where you see the kids beds in a row

She sleeps in the bed with us. We do have a crib in our room. I;m sure she would do just fine in the crib....but i love my snuggles!

He spends the first part of the night in his mini P&P beside the bed, and the rest of the night we bedshare. Soon we're going to move the crib into our room and he'll sleep half the night there and half the night in our bed.

We bought a minicrib for our room.
