Co sleeping

53 replies

My son is 13 weeks on Monday. He safely co sleeps with me in bed.

I have no idea when I should move him to his own room. I would happily have him in with me for the foreseeable future as I gave 9 months of maternity leave left, but want to do what's right for him.

I'm ebf so this works well as I feed him in bed.

Any advice? I'm genuinely lost and don't know what's best.

You'll know if and when you're ready and you'll get it done. Don't worry about it until then. Good advice for all parenting decisions to be honest.

My 7 year old still sleeps in my bed. My younger child doesn’t. Different children, different needs.

Everyone sleeps well, everyone is happy. Nothing lasts forever and there is no right or wrong. Don’t overthink it or give a damn about what other people do or think. Do what works and what feels right.
No big deal

Do whatever works for your family.

One thing I wish looking back is that I didn’t worry so much about doing the ‘right’ thing
with my first born. Second is due imminently and if they need it we’ll co sleep straight away and for as long as it suits us all.

As it is first born went into their own room at around 8 months, planned on 6 but it ended up being my husband who wanted them in with us for longer! I got annoyed by the wriggling and wanted my space back by that point but they still come in for early morning sleepy cuddles which is yummy Smile
