If you co-slept, how long did you do it for?

Just that really.

I know it's not necessarily linear (I co-slept with one of mine when she was 3, but not when she was 1 for example. In that case, just pick the oldest age.

I'm leave it upto you whether you include partial co-sleeping (where they end up in your bed but don't start there).

I’m currently co sleeping with my 20 month old. Started after he was unwell in hospital at 11 months old and hasn’t stopped yet. I’d like to at some point in the next 6 months, but he still breastfeeds during the night and at the moment co sleeping guarantees a bit more sleep for me than I wouldn’t otherwise get!

I’m a solo parent and coslept until my daughter was a little over two. We coslept again over the summer when she was very unsettled, but she is back in her own bed again now.

Started at 4 weeks because he just wouldn't settle in the bassinet, from about 6 months he would start the night in his cot and then we'd cosleep after first wake, fully sleeping in the cot around 11 months.

He's now nearly 2 and we partially cosleep /still when he's poorly, but have a floor bed in his room rather than my bed

Fully co-slept all night with both til around 12-18 months.

Went to bed in own rooms, but came in at first wake up after we went to bed until about 3.5.

Youngest came into our room to sleep at some point during the night maybe 2-3 nights a week until 6. (Eldest never had this option because not room for both of them 😂)

They both very happily sleep all night in their own rooms and there was no real transition. They just did it when they were ready.
