My DP works away as well It is so much easier when he is at work to just take her to bed with me! When he is home however......I wouldnt
mind at least a few hours of .... Adult... Bed time lol
Meercat, I have the same problem with Cam, who's now taken over our bed as when DF was away o/s I'd drag him off to my bed at any chance and how he thinks big bed is for him!!!!!!!! DF is now back home and Cam sleeps most night in our bed. I wake up almost everyday with shoulder, neck, back pain and headaches later because of it (I sleep on the very edge of the bed now ). But Cam isn't ready for big bed all by himself just yet.......he wouldn't know how to get out of it. GL hun, I think the big bed for Tiah is an excellent idea!!
We have been talking about this idea here too! Was hoping to transition DD to cot but it doesn't seem to be working so thinking bout ditching the cot and going straight to single bed or mattress on the floor. I was going to post to see if anyone else had done it with a 12 month old.
SOme nights she will start in her cot ok, but re-settling is difficult if not impossible and she always end up in with us from about midnight. If i feed her to sleep and leave her sleeping in our bed however, she will often sleep for 4 hours or so even if we are not there. So in our bed, she sleeps longer and it's a much nicer experience for me and her getting her to sleep.
If she had a single bed or mattress, then it would be easier for DH or myself to help her get back to sleep but also used to sleeping by herself. If we get a bed, have been thinking about getting a safety rail too.
THe only concerns are keeping her in one place when she wakes, especially as she has just started walking and secondly that at the moment her cot is up against the side of our bed acting as a safety rail and how to make sure she doesn't fall if she does come in to our bed. She sleeps both sides of me, but i would be stressing more if she was on my outside and there was nothing to keep her for falling (stress= less sleep for me). For the first, i figure i can make sure that our room or her room is safe and just have a baby gate on the door or the door closed.
For a little person, she takes up a lot of room on our bed and DH or i are often on the edge or waking up with sore bits.
