Bed sharing

I'm just curious who else is still bed sharing.

We Co sleep too, for the most part. He also sleeps in his bed at night sometimes. I am getting in the habit of after nursing him in bed with me, i put him back in his bed.

Nope. I didn't want to and the times I tried out of desperation, DD was having none of it.

SS - I was bedsharing for awhile when we were going through a horrible wakeful period (between 3 & 6 months). Around 6 months we started transitioning him to his crib and he sleeps great in there now. I do miss the snuggles, but I don't miss the million wakeups!

We did, but now Lily wants to be in her crib. She's super fidgety if not in there.

ColieAnn31 · February 2014

We bed share right now but my plan is to transition to his crib as soon as we move out. Every little movement of his wakes me up so even though he sleeps through the night I don't lol

She only comes into our bed if she wakes up early and I want more sleep.

BC&LM · February 2014

We never bed shared. In our situation, I feel like it would be horribly unsafe. I am a fitful sleeper (kicking/thrashing, etc.), and my husband is a deep sleeper. We are both overweight. I must use multiple blankets to stay warm enough to sleep. Considering all of this, bedsharing would have been a recipe for disaster in our case, so when he slept in our room, he was always in his pack and play. Back in December, we moved him to his own room, and he sleeps in his crib.

No way-
Not that I'm against it but I would be terrified that I would roll on him or that he would manage to fall off the bed.

I did a lot more cosleeping when LO was more wakeful. There was a period of time when it was basically full time cosleeping, but now he lets me put him back in the PnP most of the time. Like PPs have said though, especially on weekends he comes into bed with us to allow everybody to get some extra sleep. Though that seems to be working less and less these days to my great disappointment.

He is so crazy at night. He moves ALL over and he makes a lot of noises. So he has been in his own crib since about 7 weeks. If he was not so wild at night and if I trusted him not to crawl off the bed in the morning I would LOVE to bedshare even for just a few hours in the AM! I just can't do it safely with him now and I don't sleep if he is with us in bed.

We are still co-sleeping but trying to get her at least part of the night back in her PnP in our room.

Faith7 · February 2014

We started bed sharing earlier this winter when it got so cold. (We don't have central heating.) It has made it much easier to put him down at night, but I find I'm waking frequently to shush & rock him back to sleep. He's never been a great sleeper; I think he has bad dreams or something. Don't know how much longer it will last, as he's beginning to roll & toss and turn in his sleep & our bed isn't that big.

RedCherry1109 · February 2014

He usually comes to our bed around his 4 am feeding. We will probably keep bed sharing til a year old then move him to his bed.

natalie115 · February 2014

I guess I should answer my own question

DS starts off in his crib. He goes to sleep around 7:30, wakes up at 8 (he cannot get past that half hour mark w/o waking up) then goes back down in his crib until somewhere between 9:45-10pm. Then when he wakes up we just bring him to bed so we can get some sleep since we both work. I have no idea how to help him get past the half hour mark w/o waking. He's too stubborn to let him CIO b/c he'll cry for 2+ hours and still not go back to sleep (we tried that once while checking on him every 5 min).

Same here! But him not her.

BunnyLove416 · February 2014

L's wake up time is 5am so some mornings if I'm desperate or he's had a bad night I'll bring him into bed with us. The biggest wish of his baby heart is to crawl off the bed though so I'm basically just bringing him in so I can lay down while I watch him, I don't trust him enough to go to sleep.

No longer the best · February 2014

We bedshared in the beginning because it was the only way we could get any sleep! Then during the sleep regressions it saved my sanity! But then at 6 months we moved him to his own crib in his own room and now he will NEVER sleep with me again! He will just 'play' or try to crawl off the bed

This exactly.

Maelara · February 2014

I also bed shared during the 4 month wakeful period. Honestly, I loved it. I knew I wouldn't roll over onto her and I slept so well because I knew she was safe. However, my husband HATED it and it started to really mess up my back and hips, which I'm still dealing with.

ladybugpjb · February 2014

DD is mostly in her crib, but she almost always stirs at 12:30 or 1:30. If she starts actually crying, I just go in and sleep in the guestroom with her. I used to bring her into bed with us when she was in the RnP, but DH didn't really care for bedsharing and the bed really wasn't big enough for the three of us plus the cat.

kelseypie · February 2014

We're still bed sharing with no immediate plans to stop.

chelsmcl · February 2014

Yep, we're still loving it so no plans to stop yet, She sleeps 1 hour in her crib at night so we get a bit of alone time and then we snuggle all night

we probably won't stop until she's around 2, but we'll see how that goes.

I have the exact same problem with my lo! I wish I knew how to get him pat that wake up. He basically goes to bed at 7ish wakes up at 8, 10, 4, and up for the day at 8
