If you co-slept with your baby...

at what age did you put them in their own bed/crib overnight?

Barely working on it now, he is 3.5 and the past week he’s finally sleeping in his own bed. I honestly don’t mind but I’m expecting another and don’t want the baby waking my toddler at night too

6 months! It was at the point where I loved sleeping with him but neither one of us were sleeping good anymore. I transitioned to a bedside bassinet before making the full jump to his own room! He wakes up twice a night on a good night to feed and goes right back to bed

i was a single momma until a few months ago. until she was like 2 she mostly slept in her crib. very occasionally in my bed. and then she started getting nightmares and being scared at night when i started working. i ended leaving the job and stayed home again. but she slept with me every night for the most part of 2 years. i can say having her in her own bed again has been nice. i enjoy not having a foot under me or her just laying on top of me. lol but i feel guilty bc she slept better in my bed.

I do a mixture. I nurse to sleep and try to put him down in his bed at least the first part of the night, but eventually give up and let him finish the night in my bed.

He’s 16 months we’re still cosleeping we started around 4 months he’s in his big kid bed I sleep there too

3 months for both. My 3 month old now still wakes around 1am for a feed but I would wake up with a very soar back and that was enough for me to get them to sleep in their own space. They sleep a whole lot better on their own too.

4 months old

3. And that was only because my living situation changed and finally allowed for me to have her own bed.

I started my son in his crib at just shy of 4 months old. Between then and now (he will be 1 in 3 weeks) he sleeps through the night with no wakes. Generally sleeps from 7:30pm until 6am on an average night. Only time he fusses during the night is cuz of teething right now or when he is sick. He is very comfortable in his own room with his red light and sound machine.

7 months

Barely starting at 9 months😄! But baby girl was definitely showing signs that she was ready for her own space and a little bit of independence 🥲 literally goes to sleep in her own bed without a problem now. Been doing this for about a week now. I’ve learned to not rush it and watch our babies. I used to try to get her to sleep on her own starting at 6 months and it was HELL! She definitely wasn’t ready

5.5 months

1.5

we still do both, around 9-10 months we started putting him in the crib for the first half of the night. sometimes i bring him to bed when i go to bed (usually around 1-2) or i’ll let him sleep as long as he will and bring him in if he wakes up, anywhere from 3am-5am. he has yet to spent a full night in the crib since he usually will sleep in until 8-9

Tried to be more consistent with it from 4 weeks but often will still bedshare from 4am as he tends to wake hourly otherwise. With my first we did it until about 10 weeks with similar early morning bedsharing

Around 4-6mo. Baby started being a lot more active during sleep changing positions to the point it was safest for them to be contained to their own bed. Was harder for me to get used to the change than baby. We still sleep in the same room for now, will be transitioning to separate rooms soon after 1yo (would try earlier but we don’t have enough rooms and are moving soon)
Edited to add we started with bassinet by our bedside from birth and co-slept as needed. Then transitioned to crib around 9mo when baby got too big for bassinet and started trying to climb out

6 months!

6 months we did sleep training and she sleeps through the night in her own bed 12-13 hours with no wake ups since then and she is 2 now. I am worried about what will happen when we put her in a toddler bed tho

We’re at 8 months and still cosleeping. We’re in her own room on a large floor bed, so the plan is to transition myself out but only once she’s ready.

Thank you for all your responses, they're all over the place (e.g. there is no "normal!")

Chile my teens still get in my bed lol the Co never stops lol..but seriously it goes on you and your house somethings you can't get advice on jus living and learning but I know moms have great advice as well not knocking any ones routine much love 💕

My daughter is 17 months and still cosleeps. But I don’t think it’s a her thing, it’s me. Lol

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?
