Partner says to stop co-sleeping

Nope. I’m still co sleeping with my boy, have done since he was 2 weeks old! I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon unless he wants to which I don’t think he will lol.

I’m not with my son’s dad but he does have him on weekends and he sleeps fine there. Even though when he’s with me he can’t sleep unless I’ve got my arm around him.

I think your partner needs to find his own way to get your boy to sleep, shouldn’t be expecting you to stop co sleeping because he can’t find a way to settle him by himself

We have our toddler bed right next to our bed lol so we still have the space but if he wakes up or anything I’m right there ❤️ half way through the night he usually climbs in 🤣 but better than nothing I guess

We have literally put a gate up today to try and encourage independent sleeping for our boy. Until tonight he gets put to bed in his room then comes to join us during the night. Often we don't even wake up when he comes in, hence getting the gate. We are hoping with the gate he will either take himself back to his room or wake us up with noise so we can take him back to his room across the hall.

The only reason we are needing to stop him is because I have a back injury and will be having surgery soon, so can't risk having LO kick me in the back during the night, he is a constant wriggler. Otherwise we would probably stick with putting him to bed in his room and then joining us when he needs comfort.

I think it will also help him when sleeping at grandparents to not need to sleep with them, but only my dad is against LO doing that because he is old school in thinking kids should be put in their room and left all night (he doesn't remember how often mum would wake up to put us back to bed when we were kids)

Absolutely no reason to stop co-sleeping and I don't think I care for his misogynistic view on it!!! Agree with the other comments that he absolutely should be finding his own way for better sleep when your boy is at his house because children are very good at adjusting to different care from different care-providers. You keep doing what serves you and your son best. Just remember that co-sleeping or family sleeping is completely the norm for half the world.

My boy only started co sleeping with me at Christmas but no chance he’s stopping now lol, and neither am I tbf. Your partner has a view that’s not backed up in any evidence and is part of a view where all the evidence of co sleeping contradicts his perspective. Invite him to challenge his beliefs on this and do some research. It’s ok to sleep independently but it’s absolutely ok to co sleep. He’s 2.5 years old, he’ll grow into a man in years to come. Your partner might be jealous? I’m having a lot of silly projection issues from men in my life that clearly weren’t loved enough as children tbh, or loved in different ways to how we choose (co sleeping, extended breastfeeding etc). You do you xxx

My little gets up at some point in the night and comes to our bed. Sometimes it’s as late as 5am, sometimes much earlier. For now, he’s 2.5, I’m happy to comfort him!

Hats off to you co sleepers, I put my baby in her own bed (and room) at 4 months old. She sleep beautifully and is independent in falling asleep.
No judgement either way you choose to do it, I just needed rested sleep to function and I would never had been able to do that co sleeping

You do what you want to do. He is your baby to choose to do that x

I think that's the thing, my absolute best sleep came from co-sleeping, especially when breastfeeding. These moments are precious and limited, I'll take all the snuggles and restful sleep right now which is beneficial to both of us!
