    We're still bedsharing at 13 months, I don't think that'll ever stop

    My parents bedshared with all three of us early on, and I think we had our own beds from about 3ish, but we were always welcome in their bed (with fair warning!) until we grew out of needing help to sleep My mum used to lay next to both my brothers in their beds until they was asleep up until about five or six. She probably did that with me too but I don't remember.

    Reading that, it seems like my parents are super-duper AP parents lol - they're not, really, my mum's just a big softy and loves us to death

    Teni - what a gorgeous way to describe your mum

    DS2 - turned 2 last week & still snuggling up every night. He loses it if I'm not there, even if I am there but not holding/feeding him he loses it. I'm just keeping the faith that most 15yo's aren't still snuggling with mum and eventually he'll want his own space. DS1 is with us most nights, and he's going to be 5 soon. DS1 only started to do the co-sleeping thing since DS2 was born though. And now DH has decamped to DS1's bed, to get a better night's sleep. Which secretly works for all of us, cos he can snore like a freight train

    Spock is 16months, and sleeps in a single bed next to our bed. I'm thinking of moving her into her own room. but I plan on moving the single bed too, so not sure if 16 months is too young to be in a bed... how do you know if they are ready?

    Dd stayed on our room til 4y1m ish, in toddler bed, until she moved to her own room and get double bed so I'm not much help.

    I would think if you're planning on moving her, keeping "her" bed with her would be a good move so at least some things are familiar kwim?

    thats what i though BG, better than going 'backwards' and moving her into the cot...

    from the rest of this thread it seems 16months is about average. I thought it would have been at the young end. (your girl BG obviously pulling the average up =) )
