How long did your DC sleep in your room in a cot?

[LadyOfWaffle]

I was co-sleeping with DS until he started climbing out all the time about 12 months. He is now 19 months and I am only just thinking about moving him, only really because DH has started working nights and it's abit hard putting him down for a nap with DH right there, and it means I can watch TV or read in bed. I have just realised that that is quite a long time in our room, considering most babies are out at 6 months. I don't really care that much, I wouldn't have it any other way just wondered if anyone else had their child in with them for so long (but no co-sleeping).

am glad to have found this thread.

my ds is 7m and has a cot in our room. he sleeps in it until he moves into our bed at some point in the wee hours. I've been thinking I needed to get the study converted to a nursery but now I feel I might relax somewhat... thanks

4 months old, 1 month home from hosp, they just got too big (we have twins), they were sharing a cot and we didn;t have moses baskets, so when half a cot got too small they had to move into their own room and their own cots.

Mine slept in a cot in their own bedroom from day 1.

DD1 spent 6 weeks in the moses basket in our room and then into the cot in her own room

DD2 spent 4 nights in the moses basket in our room and then into the cot in her own room

DS is due on monday, and will be in the moses basket in our room for as long as I can stand the constant snuffles.... thats why DD1 and DD2 were out so soon, im such a light sleeper that they may be out cold, but Im wide awake!

wow JARM I didn't realise you were due so soon!

yep, not long now.... getting mightily FED UP though!

DS is about to turn 2, he's asleep in a cot in my room as I type. This is partly because his bedroom isn't decorated yet - we moved house recently - and partly because he still wakes up at night and then I grab him and put him in bed with us and he sleeps there until morning. I don't want to have to go traipsing down the corridor at night, it'd wake me up too much and then I wouldn't get back to sleep for ages. When he starts sleeping through I'll probably start getting my act together and sort his room out. We used to cosleep all the time, but like LadyWaffle's ds, he won't go to sleep in our bed now unless he's utterly exhausted, because he'd rather go running around, so the cot works much better. But I do like the mornings when we all wake up together in the big bed and DS starts giggling and grinning and singing songs. I'll miss that when he sleeps in his own room all the time.

5 days for ds and 2 days for dd.

Hi again ladyofwaffle, dd seems fine in the single bed. When I am settling her to sleep at night she always makes one last ditch effort to get out but I hold on to her and once she has that over she lies down and goes to sleep. She occasionally wakes up at night and tries to get out of bed and go to the sitting room but she did that in our bed too and to be honest she is sleeping much better than she did when we co-slept. She is even napping better now so it has been a success. She really hated the cot and she spent so few nights in it when she was younger that I deceided there would be no point in trying to get her used to the cot and then in a few months move her to a bed so we just skipped the cot stage completely.
Pity we bought it at all really.
