Same. Mines 20 months and I still haven’t figured it out yet
Mines 11m old and i haven't figured this out yet. For naps and bedtime we've been co sleeping. I go to bed by 8.30/9pm with her. Planning to transition her back to her next to me cot but I don't yet know how
I sneak off during daytime naps on the bed and go hangout in the living room! Sometimes I get 3 hours of uninterrupted time with my hubby and sometimes he only naps for 30 minutes. It’s a hit or miss with babies!
My wife and i sneak for sexy time into the bathroom🤣🤣. It's right next to the room and we can hear her if she wakes up. we can squeeze in a quickie in the kitchen if she is paying with her kinetic sand or playdoh but that's not often and that's only enough time for my wife to receive 🤣 She never not contact napped and now she's 2 and doesn't take a nap😭
Make the room safe so you can leave her alone in your bed.
Bed guards and baby monitor or, if the plan is long term co sleeping, invest in a floor bed (we bought a double floor bed frame and mattress for his bedroom). Now I know if he was to somehow climb out of bed before I saw on monitor (which is unlikely) he wouldn’t hurt himself as I keep a quilt on the floor where he could climb out to pad it out before I go to bed x
If you know she will go down for that 1-2 hours on her own I would start her out in her crib and then bring her into your bed afterwards.
