Another Co Sleeping Question?
My daughter is 10 months old and I have her crib in my room, right beside my bed, she be staying in there all dark and would wake once, I would just give her a pacifier for a few minutes and next she was off to sleep again. We recently moved and I hold her crib in the same spot but she has profoundly of trouble sleeping and I have started just putting her in the bed next to me. How long have you kept the babies in your bed and/or bedrooms?
We are 'bed hoppers' here. The kids (12 yrs, 5 yrs, 4 yrs and 2 yrs) hold all had there own bed since year or two old... but they don't stay there and we don't stay in ours.
Sometimes we own the three little ones with us... sometimes just the youngest with the middle two sharing beside each other, with big brother, or in their own bed... sometimes we even manage to get the 2 yr old to sleep minus us. Sometimes one or both of us go and take one of their beds and/or the couch... sometimes we metamorphose spots through the night. No telling where you will find anybody surrounded by the morning based solely on where they went to bed.
Our standard rule is 'anybody can kick anyone out of *their* bed whenever they want it for themself'. We don't *really* enforce the 'everybody out' rule ourselves till a kiddo is about 2 1/2 or 3 yrs... they are just still to much of a 'baby'. However we do 'nudge' in a minute and then and they do see us kicking the bigger little ones out.
We also do a lot of 'cool' night time 'parties' (movie and sleeping plenty in the living room... blanket 'tent' on the floor of their bedroom, etc.) Which makes the baby want to try out sleeping near the big kids. When there were no big kids we just did like peas in a pod with *us* and the kiddo and then slipped off when he go to sleep.
For me it is all about keeping nighttime 'comfy' for everyone. There is no peace in a big bedtime fray... particularly not if it means mommy listening to for a moment baby screaming for them down the hall. We may not be 100% comfy every night near feet everywhere... but the kids are happy and we are happy and we can other leave. They'll find us again when they wake up and find us gone... they always do!
If you don't want your child pitching a fit because she can't sleep with mommy & daddy, then I would start putting her to bed where on earth she will be sleeping when shes older (in her room or wherever that may be). At 4 months of age they already know their surroundings. So she may be getting a little too comfortable sleeping within your bed and may scream when you put her in her own room.
I have a 2 month ancient, she sleeps in a crib by my bed at night, then next to me in the mornings because I breast-feed. But once she hits 4 months of age, I'm going to put her down in the crib in her room.
Answers: My first daughter slept with us for 2 years, my 2nd daughter for 14 months and my 11 month aged is still in bed with us.
IMO, they are only little once, save them as close as you can for as long you can. Enjoy your baby!
You can keep the baby close to you for as long as you'd approaching. Unfortunately, we never co-slept because we have a tiny bed, but the baby did sleep in our room surrounded by her crib. We are moving to a house this year, and I am having a baby in November, and we're planning on getting a huge bed and try co sleeping...we'll do it for as long as it's comfortable for the babe-in-arms, really. =)
I moved my son somewhere between 12-13 months when he slept 6-8 hours solid. He is 16 months feeble and last week was waking up for 2 solid hours every darkness. It took a while but we figured out that we had moved his radio to the other side of the room and it was making more restrained directly in his crib. We covered the lighted screen and he is sleeping all hours of darkness again. You might look for anything small like this that might be different. It's a new house and may basically be as simple as new smells and will take her time to get comfortable.
He have a really hard time sleeping from 8-12 months because of separation anxiety, he grew out of it after 12 months and slept so much better.
I wouldn't advise keeping up with that anyone that it can be a hard habit for the child to break later on. I have extreme problems getting my little one to sleep by herself because she had gotten so used to sleeping in my bed. Its fine now and she sleeps alone but it be h.ell in the beginning.
2 years they were sleeping in own bed and we are all within the same room still. my 2 boys share a bed and my daughter sleeps with me and my husband and is 9 months. everybody is different though so i say once they hold a cup they can sleep by themselves but in the same room till 3 or until u think they will be ok contained by their own room.

My daughter is 22 months and still sleeps with us. She sleeps in our bed. My son is 7 weeks and sleeps within a co sleeper next to my bed.
my son has be in his own cot from day one and in his own room from something like 6 months. he only slept in my bed when i was physically too tired to hold on to getting out of bed to see to him in the early days.
the disturbed sleep you are getting might be down to teething as it can make them a bit restless at night
My baby girl slept with us until she be 5 weeks then she went to her crib in her room :( its dejected but its good for me & my husband. We need our time together & thats when we get it.
my 3 yr old and 1 yr old still co-sleep near us (and everyone is comfortable and happy). and my marriage is still going strong.
