Co sleeping experiences please!

[loveskaka]

I sometimes co sleep with my 15month ds, he usually wakes up in the night and after trying to settle him I give up and bring him in with me as I really don't do well with being really tired and also have work in the morning. I am worried about it never ending and him being in with in with me till he's 3/4/5. I am thinking of putting his cotbed in a bed to see if that helps, I think it would maybe be easier for me to try settle him as I can give him a cuddle in his own bed instead of taking him to mine and falling asleep. Please give me your co sleeping story's.

I’d really like to hear about this as co sleeping at the moment but really looking to stop this soon!

DD is 3, starts off the night in her bed and comes into us between 2-4am each night.

She co-slept in a side sleeper cot until she was 2. Had no issues with her going in her own room, but she just doesn’t settle after the first wake up and I’m too lazy to stay sat in her room for the rest of the night when I know she’ll sleep in our room.

If we wanted to I’m sure we could persevere and get her sleeping the whole night in her room. But right now it’s just not an issue for us.

It can stop whenever you want it to stop if you don't mind the drama! I did mind the drama so have waited until he was ready to sleep on his own. At 4 he was doing most of the night in his own bed and at 4.5 finally sleeping through in his own bed. I miss him! I moaned about it lots but actually it's such a short space of time in the grand scheme of things and I'm glad for the extra cuddles and that I helped him feel safe for as long as he needed it. I also think DS was later than most as he's a sensitive soul and was very scared of the dark and being alone.

I loved sleeping with my babies, but everybody was in their own bed by the age of 2. Yes, they can get up and trot around, but always being put back in their own bed. Takes a bit of perseverance and chasing them around, but they're not little for long.

Weco slept as a conscious decision (never had a cot!) with both of ours. Worked well for us- happy to answer questions!

Co slept with my son and will probably co sleep with my daughter if she wants in.

Do what you need to do to get some sleep and move them when you're ready.

My son went into his own bed at night and used to come through to us during the night. He then started staying in his own bed from 4.

I miss the snuggles.

I love it too but his dad is a very restless sleep and I feel comfortable with him in bed with our ds. Also would like to try for baby no 2 soon. Do yous think 15month is too young for the cotbed?
