Are your LO's sleeping in their bed?

My sweet baby boy is 6 weeks old and doesn't like to sleep in his bed yet. I know it is the open feeling he doesn't like because he sleeps so well if he's held, in his car seat or propped in a bobby nursing pillow. We have tried swaddling but he just kicks out of it. We lay him down in his bed and he'll sleep for a little bit, then move around and grunt/fuss and not sleep.  Just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat as me...

    My little guy is 5 weeks old and we have been bed sharing but DH is ready for him to be out of our bed so im slowly transitioning him to the pack n play next to bed and sometimes we have an issue with him waking up and grunting around. I never though about the open space idea but I could see that being our problem too. I am hoping that by 2 months he is out of our bed for the majority of sleep time but right now he is still waking to eat every 2 hrs so that may have something to do with it.

    mine's 5wks and no crib for him.  We treid the bassinet and he's not having that either.  Bed sharing it is...I can also get him to sleep on the corner of the sofa (ours is L shaped).  I figure when he's ready to sleep in his crib it'll happen...until then little man runs the show.

    DD sleeps in an Arm's Reach Co-Sleeper like this one https://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3069590&searchURL=false. She seems to do just fine in it, but she's getting too long, so soon I'll be putting her in her crib...I'm not ready yet!

    DS is 5 weeks old today and he is still sleeping in his RNP. I've tried putting him in his crib for naps, but he is not having it. So, we are just continuing to move his RNP in to his room (it's in the living room during the day) at night and he just sleeps there.

    Yes he has been since day 1. We use the halo swaddle sleepsacks and that's how he sleeps well in it. It's part of his routine to swaddle him and give him his last feeding and he's out like a light.
    Baby, you've got the sort of eyes that tell me tales...

    LO has been sleeping in her crib since day 5, when we just couldn't take being up every 30mins because of her grunting. At around 9/10pm (depending on how her feeding schedule went that day) we change her, feed her, swaddle and then rock and put her in her bed. She sleeps solidly for 4.5-5 hours before waking up and then goes right back to sleep for another 3. 

    Those first two weeks, she busted out of her swaddle a lot and we would have to go back in reswaddle and rock her and put her back down, wash, rinse, repeat. Now she loves her crib. I can't put her to nap there because she will sleep too heavily and miss a daytime feeding, which screws up our day.

     (Can you tell we love our schedule? We're doing Babywise LITE :)

    I am glad I am not alone.  My LO is 4 weeks and has yet to go down in her cosleeper. I have a nightime routine of changing/swaddling, going upstairs and rocking/feeding in the dark while playing a sound machine.  She falls asleep in my arms and wakes up crying within ten minutes of being set down.  I tried a pacifier for first time last night but she wasnt very interested.  We just got very little sleep and she was back in our bed by 3 am-sleeping like a champ. 

    I am hoping it is something that she will eventually just be ready for as she gets older. I am ready to get a good night sleep without the constant worry of rolling onto her.

    8 weeks tonight and he has slept in bed with us most nights. He started in his crib two nights and in  the PNP in our room maybe 1/3 of the time. We both sleep better if he just starts in bed with me and our pedi has no issue with it

    Our LO has been in his crib since he was 2 weeks.  I wasn't planning to put him in his own room until 6 weeks but he was just a really good sleeper so I thought I'd try it.  At first we would put his First Years co-sleeper in the crib so there wouldn't be as much open space around him.  Maybe something like that would be helpful for your LO? 

    Also my LO loves to be swaddled and I am not great at it so I have found the Sleepsack Swaddle to be a lifesaver!  It's so easy to wrap him up tight without having to get him out of bed.  I would definitely go for the cotton version over the fleece to avoid over-heating.  GL!
