We always end up co-sleeping. She’s in our bed now. Swear she sleeps longer in ours. I’d just randomly hear her during the night and I look over and she’s standing looking at us and trying to get our attention
Yeah I thought I would NEVER.. my husband is a physician and we talked about never co sleeping prior to babe being here. She was a phenomenal sleeper before the 4 month regression. Around 6 months of was going crazy waking up all the time to feed her.. so a lot of early mornings my husband will go get her from the crib and she’ll be in our bed. Ranges from anywhere between 1-5am when we get her. One day she’ll sleep through the night and I’m sure I’ll miss this 🥲 Follow cosleepy and heysleepybaby on insta - they have great resources!
Yes, we’re also co-sleeping. It really works for us because we both sleep better. I can’t remember when we first started, maybe month two. She still falls asleep in her crib for naps but not always. Some of my friends co-slept until age one and then moved them to a crib full time and as far as I know they didn’t have any issues. My bestie with boy girl twins always kept them in their own room and now as the kids are older they join her in the family bed so you never know! I can usually change her diaper in bed while she sleeps as well, which is nice. Just need to get better with sticking to a consistent bed time. Glad to hear that co-sleeping is working for you. Even two of my mom friends who are nurses co-slept with their littles. You got this! 💞💞💐💐 Happy early Mother’s Day!
We cosleep too! We all sleep better this way. Just got a floor bed now that's he's more mobile and I'm afraid of him falling off the bed. The Instagrams Jenna suggested are super great as well as happycosleeper.
We cosleep! My little was an awful sleeper from the time we brought her home. I tried for months for her to sleep in the bassinet, the pack n play, the crib. Nothing worked. She would be awake every 20 minutes. The longest she ever slept alone was maybe 45. Again, this went on until she was about 4 months old. I was adamant that she’d sleep on her own, but my mental health was declining like crazy with the no sleep. My husband worked nights, so I felt alone. After looking into co-sleeping and doing the Safe 7, I felt a bit more confident. My girl has now slept 6-7 hours straight, waking once for milk, and goes right back to sleep for an additional 5. I feel restored.
I have her in her crib in her room until she wakes up (usually around midnight) and then I bring her to my bed. I sleep in a full size mattress on the floor, pushed against the wall with some blankets shoved in to close the small gap between the wall. My husband and 2 year old sleep in the king size in our room 😂 it’s the setup that gets everyone the most sleep. When they are closer to 3/4/5 years old we will work on sleeping more independently. I’m not overly concerned for now but it does make travel difficult bc I can’t find a safe way for her to sleep in the hotel beds I will add, I didn’t feel comfortable cosleeping until she was a bit more mobile (able to roll over, etc). I think we started around 6.5 months or right at 7 months. I personally wouldn’t feel comfortable with it before that point.
Thanks so much everyone! I don't know why I kept trying to do stuff to make him sleep in his cot 🫣 co sleeping works so much better! Thank you all!
we've been bed sharing since newborn days. couldn't deal with the constant wake ups after transferring. much easier.
we moved our mattress to the floor for the rolling. there's an IG account called cosleepy i think is her name? lots of good information there
I co-sleep with both my kids (I am in the middle). We have bed rails due to this. I sleep so much better, and baby goes back to sleep faster, too. My toddler was sleeping in her room by herself from around 17 months until her sister was born 🤷🏻♀️
My baby sleep for stretches of 2.5 hours. We put him to sleep some time around 7 and 8, first waking I feed him and soothe him back in his crib. I’m usually up for his second waking at around 12-1 and then I go to sleep. The next waking after that either me or my partner just move him in bed with us cause I am to tired to go in there and do the whole back to sleep routine. We then sleep (better I might say) until 7 am
