A mixture of crib in our room and bed sharing. He also still naps in his swing. I'm so tired of everyone telling me that I'm creating bad habits. I work more than full time and have a LO. This mama needs sleep any way she can get it.
First we had eachother.5.27.11
Then we had you.6.16.12
Now we have everything.
She only sleeps in her crib, unless we're traveling, then she will sleep in her pack n play.
When/if I have another, they will go straight to the crib in his/her room. I let Anja sleep in our room in her bouncer for the first month or so of her life.

Parker has always slept in his room. He was in the RnP for the first 3 months and then in his crib.

Whatever happens will happen and it will all be okay.
I was one of the evil uncaring mothers that sleep trained to get my dc in her crib. She sleeps all night there now.
My first bed shared forever bc I was too lazy slash guilty to sleep train... And I hated it. So I bit the bullet in training this one and it was so worth it for us.
If bed sharing is working for you great, but if you want to get your LO in the crib in anticipation of number 2, IMO the sooner you start sleep training the easier it is.
DD is in her crib for most of the night. If she wakes up before 4am, I feed her & put her back in her crib. If she wakes up after 4am, we bring her into our bed. She likes her crib and sleeps much better in there than our bed.
DS has been in his crib in his own room for quite some time - I think we transitioned him by the time he was six weeks old. At first we'd had him in a play 'n' pack in our room, but none of us slept well. Once he went into the crib DH and I both started sleeping better.
DS still wakes up to nurse once or twice a night most nights, and I have been known to fall asleep with him in the recliner. Though now he likes to sleep on his side so that only lasts until he tries to turn and I wake up and put him back in the crib. The night snuggling is one of the reasons I will be sad to wean him.
A mixture of crib in our room and bed sharing. He also still naps in his swing. I'm so tired of everyone telling me that I'm creating bad habits. I work more than full time and have a LO. This mama needs sleep any way she can get it.
AHH I'm so glad I'm not the only one whose LO still naps in the swing!! It's so hard for working mamas. I work nights so any sleep, hers OR mine, is precious.
Other than naps though she's mostly in her crib in her room. She still wakes 1-2 times a night, and I usually bring her into bed to nurse if she wakes at 4-6ish.
DD sleeps in her crib, she slept in her RNP until Thanksgiving, then a PNP (big mistake for us), then the crib. In hindsight I wish we would've skipped the PNP. I think that you have to trust your intuition and do what's best for your family...

Re: Where is your LO sleeping now?
First we had eachother.5.27.11

us too...in fact I gave away ds' crib & didn't bother to replace it as we rarely used it w ds. Ds still co-beds too.
When/if I have another, they will go straight to the crib in his/her room. I let Anja sleep in our room in her bouncer for the first month or so of her life.

we have the opposite going on...DS will only sleep in our bed...he thinks its play time when he's in his crib.
My first bed shared forever bc I was too lazy slash guilty to sleep train... And I hated it. So I bit the bullet in training this one and it was so worth it for us.

This. We used to bedshare but I had a hard time sleeping and DD now sleeps better in her crib so it works for us for her to be in her room.
