Question for co-sleepers

HappyMama30 · August 2012

So, just curious how you go to sleep at night, if you co-sleep. If your LO goes to sleep at say, 8 pm, do you also tuck in for the night at the same time? Do you put them to sleep in your bed, and then join them later after you've had your evening? We do not co-sleep, but I have always wondered about this aspect of co-sleeping. I would also assume any answers to this question would depend on your child's age too?

My son usually sleeps from 730/8-11 pm we put him in co sleeping bassinet or hubs holds him till his feeding at 12 am . I EP so I do my last pump at 1230-1ish am and he sleeps till about 545-6 am. I only stay up til 1230 am because I'm a night owl. Smile

We have co-slept with all 4 for about 2y each. For the first 4mo, baby is on me pretty much 24/7 in the carrier while I'm up, in my arms when I'm sitting, and next to me in bed. If they happen to fall asleep and I need some time with dh, I lay them down on the couch. After that, I put them in our bed and use a monitor until we're ready to get in bed.

We co-bed. At first he was on my schedule and would just sleep on me. At 12 weeks he would rather sleep in the bed and likes to go to bed at 8pm or so. I bring him up to our bed and do skin to skin an nurse him to sleep. Then he sleeps for 2-4 hours so I do housework or reply to posts on the bump

Before LO is mobile, I just put her down in our bed to sleep.

Once mobile, I put her down in a crib then get her as I go to bed, or if I'm still up at that 10pm feed, I just go to bed after that.

Once the 10pm feed gets dropped, I just go get LO at their first night waking and bring them into bed then.

Regardless of age we always just put kiddo in the bed and went to bed when we went to bed. Now Eleanor sleeps the first part of the night in her own bed in the kids' room. When they were really little, I'd often just leave them wrapped in the evenings.

In the early months, I didn't have any problems going to bed at 8pm so I went to bed with LO. lol! When I started getting more sleep and kept a later bedtime, I would let LO start the night sleeping in the bassinet. Once the kids were closer to 1, I'd just put them in my bed and go to bed when I wanted to.

I'm generally exhausted by the time he goes to sleep at night, so I go to sleep with him. If I'm not ready for bed, he sleeps in my arms or in a wrap where ever I am until I am ready for bed.
