My child is getting closer to a year old and he sleep on the bed with me and my husband. He has a crib and room to himself. I can’t seem to get myself to have him sleep on his own. He doesn’t feed during the night any more. He doesn’t wake up during the night that much either. I feel bad keeping him in bed with us but I have some much anxiety moving him and I can’t explain why I am having a hard time.

In the same boat. I don't wanna quit sleeping next to my baby...she snuggles me so hard all night.

The anxiety is just that you don't want to be separated. It's really normal. Means you're a good mama.

It's normal! I think it's more of a Western practice to have babies sleeping alone in their own rooms.

Mine too! I’m not ready to transition him to his crib but I’m thinking we’ll give it a try at 1 year and see how it goes. I love the baby snuggles too much!

If you are not ready, that's okay!

I co sleep with my now 10m old. But then again i have her crib in my room

Literally same. We have had his crib right up against my bedside, without the front rail part for a couple months. So he has his own little sleep space but the last two weeks he has only wanted to sleep right up against me 🥺 I guess he just needs more comfort lately.

I felt the same way. I ended up moving my daughter to a playpen right next to my bed. You can buy a mattress for it to make it like a small crib. Literally the perfect transition for me because I can see her right there. 💚

Same! 11 months and we still go-sleep, not ready to change yet but thinking we will in the next couple months? We’ll see..

I completely understand. My daughter is 11 months. She still feeds at night but just for comfort. I’m not ready and I don’t think she is either. Luckily my husband coslept for most of his childhood and he said he doesn’t mind her being with us as long as she wants and when he have a second we can switch he’ll cuttle her while I cuddle the newborn 😭

Like everyone else mines still in the bed too. She feeds to sleep and maybe 1-2x over night. But I love having her in bed. Especially waking up to her smile. No plan to move her anytime soon. She’s 10 months as well. She’ll be in our bed till she doesn’t want to anymore. She’s our only so I’m in not rush

How does co sleeping work with with pillows and blankets? Genuinely wondering. Like where does the baby sleep? My baby is way too active and would crawl right off the bed. I am gonna keep him in my room for even longer though. I like him here. Its more convenient too.

Litterlly in the same position, my daughter is 11months old now on the 17th and I cannot for the life of me put her in the cot even if its right beside my bed, I just want her close to me, she loves to sleep beside me and she sleeps so much better aswell, I just want her to always feel safe and secure and for her to know that mammy is beside her ❤

Literally in the same situation. We have been co sleeping since he was a month old and I just can’t see my bed without him. I got him to fall asleep in his crib last night. I cleaned up and made hubbys lunch for work and right when I walked past his room I couldn’t leave him there. Scooped him up and laid him right next to me and we cuddled all night 🥹

I coslept for the longest time. Finally I made the decision to transfer to the pack and play beside the bed. Since I’m still not comfortable with her not being in the same room at night. It’s not easy. But, do it only when your ready.

Was more just curious how it's done? Under the pillow by the chest? Mine loves sleeping on his stomach so he wouldn't do it. He also crawls insanely fast to the edge whenever he's on the bed.i love having him in the room though. I was just curious where on the bed the baby sleeps and how.

He goes in his crib at the start of each night and when he wakes up he comes to my bed I don't plan to fight him. He something sleeps the whole night others he up 30 mins later.

I can’t seem to get ours to sleep in her crib even if we want to… she’s a sprawler and wakes if she hits the side of the crib 😅 I may get a Montessori style mattress going on with guard rails but idk. You’ll know when it’s time for everyone! I feel like soon she’ll learn to love her room and bed when it’s not summer and she’s not going through leaps
