DS slept in our room until 7 or so months (in a portacot or our bed) when he started waking up and deciding if he could see us we should all get up and play... we then moved him to his own room and the proper cot. this time around i think we will do the same, when we start disturbing each other we will put bub in with DS (mainly cos our spare room is DH workshop :LOL bubs in the cot and DS hopefully have already been transitioned into a single....
First one 4 months. Second probably 4 weeks. Both my kids were anti co-sleepers no matter how hard we tried LOL!
But they come in for cuddles now, and both of the kids will happily snuggle up to each other when they can't sleep which is equally cute. So it's all good.
14 weeks in the bassinett next to us but I thought she'd sleep better in her own room, still in the bassinette. Now DD is 4.5 yo and still comes into bed with us most nights. She starts in her room but ends up walking down on her own anytime from midnight. Most times she sleeps through without a problem unless she is unwell then she is a nightmare to sleep with!
With DS we first had him in a bassinett next to our bed, then his cot in our room. At 6.5 months we moved him into his own room. He wasn't sleeping well, and for some reason I thought moving him to his own room would help. Couldn't have been more wrong! DS was a horrid sleeper and I lost a lot of sleep by having him in a separate room. He is in his own room now though, and sleeps through almost every night.
Having learnt what I did from DS, I decided to co-sleep with DD. First she was in a bassinet next to our bed, but she didn't always sleep in it - she often ended up in bed with us. When she got too big for the bassinet we turned the cot into a sidecar cot and it has been wonderful. DD doesn't actually sleep in the cot very much, but it gives us that little bit of extra room and I don't have to worry about DH rolling onto her. DD turns one in a couple of weeks and I can't see her moving into her own room anytime soon. Co-sleeping has saved me a lot of sleep, and until DD is sleeping through (or at least sleeping longer than 3 hour stretches) she'll be staying snuggly close next to me .
