To ask if you co slept

[cosleepno]

At what point did you get your bed back? DD is 15 months.

About 2.5 years. But they still come in now if they have a cold or cough, bad dream etc aged 5.

About 12 months we moved to a floor bed in her room. But I ended up sleeping in there with her for another 6 months I think (possibly more!) and at some point moved to just getting in with her when she woke up

I booted them out when I went to work at 12m but my husband slept on their floor for a while and then they'd end up in bed with me from 5am until we got up until they were 2.

2.5 into their own bed and own room. We never slept on the floor or anything.

He's now 12yo and still comes in for a cuddle at the weekend.

yes.

If I’m not careful him and my godsons still all sleep in my bed if there’s a sleepover. He’s 12 😂😂

I go sleep elsewhere, so only have my bed back on a time share basis 😂

DS went into his own room consistently at about 19-20 months, but when baby 2 came 6 months later DH started sleeping with him most of the time as I slept with baby 2. DS now nearly 4 and comes into our bed maybe 3-4 nights a week at some point. Baby 2 still half in our bed/half a mattress on the floor at the moment though so we haven’t got our bed back yet. They’ll only be little a short time.

Baby still in the bed, though she is a baby still at almost 10m.

Big girl went into her own cot but in our room at about this age, however this baby is a boob monster and is staying where she is for quite a while it looks like. 😂

Is there room for a double bed in her room?
We put the double bed back when she outgrew her toddler bed( she's 10 and 5 foot 6 now) .
You can comfort her and still sleep .
I know she's poorly when she comes into our bedroom and asks for a ' shush pat' .
If I'm lucky , she'll say ' fancy a shush pat' night if dad is watching the football?'

3.5 for eldest (that's entirely - he used to wake in the night and come in) - about 10 months for the second (he moved in with his brother)

They're now tweens, and if either of them feels sick or has a nightmare, they'll still come and share my bed though - and on holiday I don't have to worry about the rooms as they're fine sharing with each other or with me. (too big for all 3 of us in one bed - up until a few years ago they used to come and share my bed at weekends, but I had to put a stop to it as it was too crowded and none of us was getting a decent night's sleep)

Our youngest is 2 and 3 months, still in with us but that's mostly because we are doing up a fixer upper and he doesn't have a bedroom yet, nor space in his brother's room. I would love our bed back now.

Stopped co-sleeping at around 22 months however she still comes into our bed every night at around 3am. But at least I'm getting a few hours of undisturbed sleep.

About 4 years old but I was and still am a lone parent working full time so sleep was a premium to me.

Still in the bed at 2.5 years. Only one child

Mine still cosleep at 8 and 6. Nowadays they start in their own beds but about 3am they appear in mine for the rest of the night

We’re (almost) 2yrs5m & gonna try get her in her own bed tonight. Getting fed up with a foot to the neck in the middle of the night.

Still have my 5 yo in. But he’s autistic, adhd and has other issues. We pick out battles.

Older DS was 5 but younger one just liked company. We had the best/most daft/deep and meaningful conversations over the years so I’d never change a second of it.

We never co-slept as such - she was in her own room from 6 months. When she was walking and sleeping in a bed (rather than a cot) there were spells when she would come to our bed in the early hours of the morning, and it was just easier to co-sleep rather than spend an hour trying to get her back to sleep in her own room. She mostly grew out of it at some point by the time she turned 3 and now sleeps through in her own room.

I don’t know how people continue to function with such broken sleep. It’s to be expected with small babies but children and parents need a good solid stretch of sleep.

I loved co sleeping. It’s done by many cultures throughout the world and is incredibly safe. The cosleeping that is dangerous is when parents drink and fall asleep with babies in their arms on a sofa etc.

DD slept in bed with me from birth to 2 months old then went into a co sleeping cot. She slept in her own cot from about nine months onwards, but once she was in a tiny bed and when I was single, would sleep with me at night through to about 4 1/2. I just absolutely love it. We shared a bed only the other night. She’s 15. We fell asleep chatting.

With small babies, you have to have the right set up - something that means they can’t roll over and fall out of bed or a mattress on the ground. I don’t move around much in my sleep either.

We don't have a room for DD so she is having her cot bed next to our double bed with one side off. She is 2.5y.
