Do sleeping (8 month old)

[ohhi]

Yes or no to co sleeping? Just want some
Opinions.

Yes if done absolutely correctly. Saved our sanity

I do it unwillingly. My back dislikes lying still and my subconscious doesn't let me fidget with my "precious" next to me. As they get more mobile they are less than restful bed companions - like the song about 3 in the bed and the little one said roll over - generally ended with small person starfished in the middle and adults clinging to the edge...

Toddlers also have sharp elbows, knees, heels and hard heads.

No, i would never co-sleep

I’ve co slept with both of mine. It’s been lovely and we’ve always gotten plenty of sleep. Youngest is only 10 months but older one I co slept with (by conscious choice) until she was 3.5. She happily moved to her own room when she was ready with no fuss. Still going with the younger one with no plans to change anything.

Yeah, if done safely I think it can bring such relief.

Yep for me it is the best way

Ye

Oooos. Sorry about the above.
Yes from me, it's lovely and everyone sleeps better.

Yep, both mine did it from birth. Done safely, it's ideal.

Yes, reluctantly. Have done so every night with my second since she was born, she's now 12 months. I sleep trained my older son but never felt good about it. This feels overall better.. she still wakes multiple times a night but resettles quickly with me beside her. Tbh I'm desperate for her to become less dependent so I can have a night away or just sleep normally in bed on my own, but I honestly think it's better for them not to cry themselves to sleep so I can't see any alternative for me for a while.

Yep. I did not start until 6 months but we happily coslept until 20 months. Now at 2.5 we sleep in her bed as needed.

Yes if it’s the only option that gets everyone enough sleep. Otherwise I personally prefer the bed to myself!
