6 mo DD2 bunks with me. I didn't plan on it but she just seems to need lots of reassurance at night time and I've adopted the path of least resistance (and tear-free baby). DH is now in spare bed in DD1's room.
Baby is BF, wakes every two hours after 11ish, sometimes hourly coming closer to morning, sometimes like now I end up holding her in my arms and mumsnetting till DH takes over at 7. I had been starting her off each night in the cot and transferring in with me when she wakes after I go to bed.
We're all happy enough with the current set-up but I do ultimately want to get DD2 in her cot and DH back in with me!
We're moving house in 2 months so may tackle it then. I may be crazy but I'm thinking of putting the two girls in the same room for company.
I just wondered what others' experiences were- how long did you co-sleep for? Did your DC naturally "grow out" of it or did you have to actively end it? Did you ever regret co-sleeping or wish you'd nipped it in the bud?
I'd just love to know months down the line I'll look back fondly on co-sleeping and be glad I did it (note past tense!).
Thanks for your experiences!
