Co-sleeping with 19 month old

We’re also still co-sleeping after the first wake except he wakes every 1-2 even when in bed with me. It’s rough but I remind myself it’s not forever and one day they won’t need us this intensely anymore ❤️

Co-sleeping isn't a bad or negative thing. Unless you absolutely don't want to be doing it, I wouldn't view it as a failure or like something is going wrong. It's extremely normal for babies this age to still wake in the night and to want us. We just co sleep as a norm as we all get much better nights sleep. If it serves you and your family well, then embrace it

We co sleep from the get go. My 19 month olds always struggled with sleep from early day struggles like reflux, allergies and tongue tie all in one go. Like above I just remind myself that one day soon it will end and you will miss it 😢

My litle one slept through from 10 weeks till 10 months and we've been co-sleeping since then as it's the only way to get a bit of sleep😅 it is completely normal so you are not failing at all x

You are over thinking it. Me and my 20mo still co sleep, he is usually up at least 3 times a night. 3 wakes is actually considered a good night for us. It's completely normal for babies to have poor sleep all the way through infancy, which is until they are 4! So what you're experiencing is completely normal and co sleeping is a really effective way of managing it. You're not a failure. You're doing great, giving him comfort and reassurance when he needs it, and it's totally normal for him to need that.

Me and my little girl have always co slept and still are and she’s 20 months And I don’t plan on changing that enjoy it 🫶🏼

Thank you all so much ladies! I actually sleep better with him next to me, I’m not constantly checking and waiting for him to wake 🤣 plus I love to be close to him. I guess it’s just societal pressure sometimes makes you think that unless they are sleeping through in their cot, going to sleep on their own, then something is wrong! X

Don’t stress yourself, he’s not going to want to sleep in your bed when he’s 20.. just enjoy him while he’s young & enjoy the cuddles 🥹😍

Our girl (sept 2023) has her cot pushed up next to our bed & crawls in when she wants her cuddle in the night.. & our boy (July 2022) still wanders in to our room probably 3-4 nights a week & comes to get mummy to get in his bed for a cuddle & I love it ❤️
