How long did your child co-sleep for? I think it might be about time for my 3-yr-old but can’t convince them!

That really. I cosleep with my 3-year-old. DH sleeps in spare room. Would like to make 3-year-old their own bedroom (in spare room) but a little worried to, in case it doesn’t work, and we’ve lost the double bed that DH needs (as he can’t cosleep with us).

The double bed takes up the entire spare room so I can’t keep it - it needs to be a single to make a bedroom for 3-year-old, to fit toys in etc. And I thought the more exciting and “theirs” it looks, the more likely 3-year-old will want to sleep in it?!

Anyone who long term coslept? When did it stop? And how did you manage to?

DS was almost-4 when he started to stay in his own bed all night. The 'project' started when he was 3 and was a very gradual process, with him joining us later and later in the night until he didn't join us at all.

He still sometimes says he wants to sleep with us (though he much prefers to have his own space, in reality)!

Dear God, how can this be healthy for your relationship?!

Oh, he's almost 5 1/2 now.

Dieu me and dh have a very healthy relationship. That’s with three and two of them co sleeping. Still manage to have sex Two or three time’s a week. We are very happy, but then dh is very secure in himself and I snore anyway so he gets a better nights sleep.
