Slightly sad about not bedsharing anymore...

FrauElyse · February 2012

Lately I've been exhausted all the time, and I couldn't figure out why. Then, I realized it was because I wasn't sleeping well. DS has started wiggling more and my shoulders were killing me all the time from sleeping with DS in the crook of my arm (he won't just sleep next to me).

Well, night before last, we moved DS to the bassinet in our room after he fell asleep in bed with us. He STTN and did it again last night. I still get to snuggle him until he falls asleep and after DH leaves in the morning, I move him back to bed with me, but I'm slightly sad that our full-time bedsharing is probably over for good. We're both sleeping great now, and I'm just lamenting a little I guess.

Thanks for listening.

Aww, I feel you! dd1 LOVED bed-sharing and was in bed with us until she was around 2. dd2 never liked it, and it made me sad. Now #3 is in bed with me and my shoulder is killing me as well, lol.

DD is 5 years old, we bed shared till she was 4, not all nights but some we did. We still do sometimes when she's sick. No reason to stop bed sharing for good! It's nice to stick together once in a while

I know the feeling, my LO is starting to kick in his sleep and keeping me up. So I have tried putting him in the PNP next to our bed for a few hours until he wakes for his next feeding. And even though I am glad to sleep and not be kicked. I miss him.

Awww... first step in growing up

My LO sleeps in the crook of my arm too, so I understand the kinks! So wonderful that you were there for him when he need you, and let him grow a little and have his own sleeping space when he was ready.
