Anyone still bedsharing?

in November 2011 Moms

LO has always been a bad sleeper. Between the bad sleeping and me nursing in the middle of the night, we created a bedsharer! He's such a touchy feel-ly baby like his daddy.

I either nurse him or give him a bottle in our bed, then we "fight" sleep for a few minutes where we have to rock/bounce him, and then he is out. He HATES his crib and screams bloody murder in there. 

I LOVE him sleeping with us, although some days its a little frustrating. Its the only place where he will now sleep 9-4am or so!

    If DD wakes in the middle of the night she joins us.  I want sleep more than I want my own bed :)

    Nope. We gave that up in June. I didn't intend to bedshare, but it worked out well when I was so tired I was about to drop LO while nursing in the rocking chair. I've read the longer you wait to move them into their crib, the harder it is. But I haven't experienced that per se. I just followed my LO's cues and the transition was easy. GL with your transition!

    Yep!  DS is in his PnP for the first part of the night but when he wakes up, he ends up in bed with us.  Sleep is more important than having our own bed right now.

    We bedshare half of the night because DD still wakes up for nursing once or twice. I put her down in her PnP and when she wakes up the first time, usually 3 hours in, I take her into bed for the rest of the night.

    I hear ya. That's why we gave up and he just snuggles up to us! I LOVE it. Wouldn't have it any other way. I can't imagine him sleeping in his room now. ;)

    We did until 3 nights ago, I was on call sat night and DD2 slept in the crib 10-730 for DH, the last 2 nights she's slept in the crib 9p-9a!  I'm not opposed to continuing bed sharing but I was starting to get some back pain and waking up wondering how I was going to reposition w/o waking her.  DD1 did the same thing magically around the same age so I'm cautiously optimistic this will last.

    EDIT TO ADD- oh, but my breasts have yet to receive the message,  the first night I got to STTN I pumped 14 oz on the way to work, I'm figuring that won't last long though.

    Not after last night. LO is a mover, even in her sleep, and I'm horrified to admit, but last night she fell out of bed. I won't have her in our bed anymore.

    Uh oh! LO sleeps in between DH and I. If we both weren't in the bed, I wouldn't feel comfortable since I know he would probably roll over the pillow and fall off.
