If you cosleep, and don't go to bed when LO does...

how/where do you put them to bed?

acia · July 2010

I nurse her to sleep in our bed, and then just roll away and leave the room once she's asleep. She stays there until I come to bed, which is usually a couple hours later.

We have bed rails and a video monitor that I keep my eye on the whole time, and as soon as she wakes (which unfortunately is about 8 times a night) I get in there before she sits up or crawls away. I definitely wouldn't do this without the video monitor - it's a must!

We put him in a little bassinette-co-sleeper next to our bed....I bring him into bed once he wakes up. He's outgrowing the bassinette, though, so I'm not sure what we're going to do when that happens....we have bedrails but it still makes me a little nervous.

He falls asleep at his last evening feeding (7:30 or so) and we put him down either on the couch (he's not mobile yet) or in his crib like we would for a nap. I then bring him to bed with me when I go. Although lately we're working on transitioning away from bedsharing so he'll be staying in his crib until he gets hungry.

this exactly! I do sometimes lay her down in her crib. Depends if she wants to be rocked to sleep or lay down and nurse to sleep.

Now that she's mobile we put her to sleep in the crib, then bring her into bed whenever she wakes up after we've gone to bed. We moved the crib into our room for ease.

the day LO went to sleep without me at 7pm was the day I got my life back! same bedtime every night, nursing and sometimes I lay with him. We use the video monitor which is worth every penny. Sometimes he fusses and is able to put himself back to sleep, w/ the monitor I can see if I need to go in in person to comfort him.

I do the same.

DS sleeps in a pnp in our room most of the night. He started to roll a few weeks ago, and we don't have bed rails, so the pnp is the safest place for him.

LOs crib is in our room. He goes to sleep 30-90 mins after he BFs. If he wakes up in the night I BF him in bed and he sleeps beside me for the rest of the night
