Cosleeping?

Ive been cosleeping wit my son since he was a month. He slept fine in his bed but now after 6 months of sleeping with me he has a hard time sleeping thru the night (aside from feedings) where he never had an issue before. Im having a hard time getting him to stay in his bed now

We started bed sharing at 4 months during a regression and she’s 15 months now still sleeping with us. We haven’t tried very hard to get her to sleep in her own bed though. We sleep through the night though!

@Danika right, main reason im having a hard time having a hard time getting my son to stay in his bed. He would be fine if i stuck to it but we sleep thru the night when hes in bed with me and i like his cuddles

I put my son in bed with me bc my husband mainly works overnight, and I wanted more sleep without being interrupted constantly. We'll, he's now almost 3 and won't sleep in his own bed to save my life. I just had another baby 4 days ago, and I will not be making the same mistake. I'm just gonna have to get through it somehow until he sleeps through the night. All children are different, just telling you my experience. Good luck!

I cosleep with my 3.5 month old as well and it honestly has not helped much in the last 1-2 weeks he has woken up multiple times needing to be rocked back to sleep or fed. It might just be his sleep regression but it’s definitely stressful. I tried putting him in his crib a couple times thinking he wanted his space but that was worse lol. Rolling through the punches until he’s ready to sleep train

@Monique the cuddles are the best and totally worth it! She’s only this little once. It’ll get better later 😊

I chose to let my daughter sleep in the bed with me since she was born so that i can get some sleep only bc I’m a single mom. she’s slept through the night by 3 months . She’s 15 months now but will not sleep in her own bed. I would recommend maybe letting your baby co sleep a few days and not every night. So your transition is easy when you’re ready. Hope this helps mama.

@Danika exactly what i say to everyone who tells me i shouldnt sleep with him beside me

I love cosleeping with my baby . But I would say don’t do it cause it’s so hard to get them used to sleep their own 🥹🥹 my 11 months old girl still sleeps with me and she doesn’t sleep without me now

We started cosleeping full time around 4 months as the 4 month sleep regression hit and he was waking hourly and he stopped transferring. It was the only way to survive the nights. I can't say we didn't have a problem then getting him into his own bed as he is nearly three years and still in our bed now. He never ended up using a cot. But then at the same time I'm not sure how we could have done anything differently as there was just no way I could have got through the nights not cosleeping. To be fair I did learn to enjoy cosleeping and prefer it but sometimes I wish we had our own space again.

I co sleep with my girl, ebf, have since day 1. She will sleep in her own bed in the loungeroom from about 7-11 and then I’ll take her to bed with me, she’ll wake up for her first feed around 2, then 530, then 7am for a feed and wake up. unless she’s in a regression or pain from teething. she’s 6 month old. And those wake ups don’t bother me because I don’t have to fully wake up to feed her

We began cosleeping at 5 months and it was great, we have definitely gotten more sleep and he’s now 14 months old. Around 7 months I started introducing naps in his crib and it was hard at first, and he would only take short naps. Fast forward now he naps in his crib during the day and at night sleeps the first half of the night in his crib and then we transfer to our bed when we’re ready to go to bed. Maybe when you decide to transition to his cot you can try a floor bed.

Thank you all so much for sharing. I think we will give it a go. I wouldn't mind the baby cuddles and more sleep.
