My DD (27months) has her single bed in my bedroom but she usually ends up crawling into my bed when I head to bed. I have thought about moving her bed to her own room (right next door) thinking she might start waking less but then she might still wake and be futher away... so I don't know how long she will still be in my room!
Full-time until 13 weeks.
We moved her because the large volume of night feeds was causing really bad wind and over-fullness as well as hardcore breast refusal in the day, and left both of us crying a lot. We moved her to a cot and all of her feeds improved, as well as her sleeping.
Now, she's in a cot til 2am, then comes into bed after that.
On one side of me in his own co-sleeper cot is DS2weeks. In the middle from his first wake (anywhere from midnight until 4 am) we are joined by DS18 months.
we were fulltime until 5 months. then there were more sleeps in teh cot beside our bed as time wore on. around 6 months we went on holiday and DD1 and DD2 shared a room together (and they both thought it was fab) and from then on she has been falling asleep in there. but come 3-4am i whisk her back in the bed with us until 8ish
We have our 3 1/2 year old, and our 1 year old in our bed I definately recommend a king sized bed for co-sleeping families! A bigger bed would be handy lol
We didn't strictly co-sleep in that DS was in his own cot but his cot was right beside my bed and we were pretty much face to face. We did that until he was 12 months. Then he went into his own room but there was only a doorway between us.
DD1 co-slept until she was 5. I didn't realise that was unusual, but it seems to be! DS didn't want to co-sleep, but if he wakes in the night (maybe once a week) he comes to our bed for a snuggle. DD2 co-sleeps full time and she'll move out when she's ready! DH and I love it and so does DD. Both of the girls have co-slept from our first night in hospital when they wouldn't sleep in their bassinet but settled immediately in my arms. DS likes to spread out when he sleeps and likes his own space in bed.
With DD, on and off until she was about two. With DS1, he's nearly 3 and DH or I still sleep with him. DS2 is also still cosleeping. We will be putting DS1 into his own bed in a few months because we are sick of our sleeping arrangements, as well as the fact that DS1 has no idea how to go to sleep by himself and we think he needs to learn. When DH has a week off work in November, we will be putting both DS1 & 2 their own beds. DS1, just because it's time to do so, and DS2, in the hopes we won't end up with the sort of sleeping arrangements we have now! As well as if he's still sleeping as badly as he does now, maybe sleeping alone might help him sleep better....maybe!
DD1 coslept until 19mths when we moved her to her own bed, own room in which she was fine with it. I was pregnant and we knew it was time.
Although she would wake once a night and walk down to our bed and crawl in with us. So we kinda were still cosleeping still just not full-time lol.
DD2 is in a bassinet next to our bed although cosleeps most of the night. Newborn snuggles
