How can we co sleep with our son?

Why would you want him to sleep in with you if he’s happy in his crib??

I was a single Mom. Honestly I did that but she stayed in my bed till she was 12🙄

My oldest always slept with me and still does and she’s turning 8 and she just wanted to be a co sleeper
My 16 month old does not do the same she doesn’t want to co sleep she’s always slept

Just nap with him.
Hes 100%better off in his own bed. specially for when he gets older and h cant get him out. :rofl:

Make sure it’s completely dark in the room. He’ll stop moving so much and go to sleep when he can’t see.

Don’t do it you will regret I have a king sized bed my partner an I are on the edges my one year old sleeps sico sooks an screams when you touch him an hog the whole pillows an kicks off the blanket.

We’ve never coslept with our 4 sons. They have always slept in their own beds. Each to their own tho

I always read parents begging , " how do we get our baby out of our bed" This is different. Not a hate comment whatsoever but, just go with the flow , and try to snuggle at nap time ? You need your sleep so you can work, and take care of household. Maybe next child will be a snuggler. Let each baby be who they are. Plus , how many times have you read about co cmsleeoing accidents? Happens a lot more than you think. I know cos in different states and they say it happens , but, the police don’t make it public seeing the parents have already lost enough. seriously , look up stats

Why on earth would you WANT to teach your kid to co-sleep!? That’s not only detrimental to your marriage, but not healthy for your child’s independence.

Haha I’m having the opposite issue! My son only wants to co sleep with me! :joy:

It’s good for kids to sleep in there own bed

Why in the world would any parent want to start co sleeping with their child if that child sleeps alone with no problems???

Try getting him to sleep before you lay down then, he will be asleep in the bed with you. Baby steps work up him falling asleep with you

Just dont co-sleep than. Your child is actually telling you that he cant sleep with his parents in his bed

Sounds like the baby is smarted than you. He should sleep in his own bed.

I never slept my kids with me I had a bassinet on the side of my bed and after that crib and then their room

My son is two and doesn’t have a dummy how can I make him have one now? When I put it in he spits it out but we really want to try it

Once you start, it doesn’t stop. But, co-sleeping is cozy…if they’re not kicking you in the face. Maybe get him to sleep first?

That would be a backward step. If he’s sleeping happily, don’t disturb that arrangement. Let sleeping dogs lie, applies to babies too

If he’s doing well in his crib,
I’d stick with it…
Try nap time to cuddle and cosleep or nap.

If he isn’t comfortable in your bed why force it?

if he is OK with crib why push for the co-sleeping

Try with the next child. Some just like to be left alone to sleep. Not everyone likes to snuggle .

Why the hell would you want to co sleep if he sleeps alone in his crib just fine?!?

I take the side off the cot and have it up against the bed. I have a 4 month old at the moment with a co sleeper bassinet

Usually it’s the other way around.

If he likes his crib why don’t you just let him sleep in it ?

Have you thought about a kind of cot that attaches to the bed?

Why if a kids sleeps fine alone would you want to co sleep?

If he sleeps great in his own bed , why do you want to move him to your bed ? Lol this is confusing

It’s better to keep them in their own beds. Most parents are having trouble getting them into their own beds. Y’all are just confusing your kid.

Count your lucky blessings that your child is not attached to your hip. Co- sleeping is taking steps backwards. As a mother of 4, don’t do it!!

Don’t do it,once he gets accustomed to it he will never leave!

Start by moving his crib to the side or foot of your bed to get him used to the room change before the bed change. :slight_smile:

Girl if u got ur son in his own bed enjoy it cuz once they get comfortable u never going to get them out n there goes ur sex life lol

If he is happy in his bed leave him there. You will wish you had when he is a toddler

Dont do it. Get a good bedtime routine going in their own bed… dont do it to yourself

Why would you wanna back track like that? If he’s already established a good sleeping routine by himself dont mess with it by changing things up. Just doesn’t make sense

I guess you plan to never have sex again, don’t do it,take naps on the couch if you need to curl up

Noooo, you will never get him out! He will be 13 in your bed. Don’t do it.

Naps are always a good way to transition

Try co sleeping for nap times only.

personally unless you have too I would leave him innhis crib

Sounds like you dont care if hes comfortable or not, as long as hes sleeping in your bed, you’re happy but what about his happiness, does that matter to you?

Nooo you are lucky lol. It’s normally the opposite problem!

Don’t do it! It’s a trap!

Ignore everyone saying ‘you’re going backwards’. If that’s what you want for your family then that’s up to you! My 15th month old son’s bedtime is 7 o’clock. He goes down in our bed and then we come to bed a few hours later. If he happens to wake up I talk to him and tell him it’s time to sleep and I cuddle or nurse him back to sleep. So my question would be is your baby going to bed before you or at the same time? Might help if he’s already asleep when you get in bed. We love cosleeping. And my husband and I still get plenty of time together, not that your sex life is anyone else’s business.

No no dont do it you want have mommy and daddy time.

Be quiet and pretend your sleeping ha.

Co sleeping is the worst thing you could do for your relationship. You need alone time with ur significant other and a good nights sleep. Why wouldn’t you want your child to learn that it’s ok to be alone? And let them learn independence. If he is sleek g great in his crib then he obviously likes it and is restless in ur bed bc he wants his own bed.

Should have started from birth

I wouod advice to make room for a crib in your room and not put in your bed

But on behalf of the person that said don’t fix what’s not broken ,:joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy: disclaimer :joy::joy::joy: you will have to sneak sex in the bathroom or laundryroom once a month , JUST SAYING :joy::joy::joy::joy::joy:

You want your child to cosleep not sleep in a toddler bed? I would say take advantage of the fact you don’t get kicked in the chest at 2am by powerful little feet. If you really want the child to fall asleep just roll over and pretend you are asleep and eventually they will pass out. Also a bedtime routine would help

I co slept with my first but, not by choice. After 4 months of no sleep it was that or go insane. I don’t think it was a horrible experience but, I wouldn’t have chosen it. My guess is if he isn’t settling down it’s because he isn’t comfortable. Why disrupt his comfort and take him out of his routine just because you want him to sleep with you? It seems a little selfish. My advice, let him be. Also, if you want a little more time with him, set up a bed instead of the crib. Lie down with him for awhile, read books, snuggle. Then you have the extra time and he has his space to be comfortable sleeping.

I co slept with my now 2 yo for a good 6 months when she was teething really bad at about 10 months. She got used to the habit. And my partner and i had no time alone. We contstnatly fought becaise we werent as close as we had been and because we had really poor sleep. If you can co sleep and keep your sleep and relatiinship going i say do it, if it works for you guys. My daughter became dependant on us to help her get to sleep. We still have the occaisional co sleep with her or our 10yo but they are few and far between now. The 10yo has putgrown being able to sleep in our bed comfortably so she sleeps on her floor mattress if she needs us. I personally yated having co sleeping kids i need my room to move and deep sleep without being kicked in the kidneys or smacked in the face when they toss and turn. You do you. X

well thats backwards usually parents love the kids out of their bed. turn off everything and mke it dark he should fall asleep. no sugar products after 5 pm. and he may not be interested just leave the option open if he wants to maybe just on weekends.

My daughters best friend and her fiancé co-slept with their twin babies. One on dads side, one on moms side. Twin on dads side ended up being covered up with a pillow and suffocated. They had to bury their 2 month old son because they thought it was easier to just roll over and feed the baby then get out of bed and get them out of their cribs. I don’t know why anyone would be upset about their child not wanting to sleep with them. What about your spouses/partners? What about teaching the child how to sleep in his/her own bed?

Should have started that way. Co sleeping is wonderful. But its honestly too late imo. Hes used to being where hes at, and change is hard. Besides hes going to be in his own bed someday, so why switch it up twice? Its more confusing for the child that way.

My advice if he’s already been sleeping in the crib by himself do not start sleeping with him.because once you start the child is going to forever want you to be in their bed or be in your bed or be beside them I promise I have been dealing with this with my own child. Cuz he back when she was a little baby she had no choice but to be in my bedroom due to heating and cooling the house the issues with that. Now it’s due to hurricane Michael guess what I still have an 11 year old nearly 12 year old child in my bed because she does not have her own bedroom right now. Do you know how hard it is to sleep with two adults and 11 year old and two dogs in your bed??? It’s a good idea to not even put them in the bed with you for 20 minutes. Because then the child is going to go over they sleep with me this long I don’t fall asleep now they got to stay even longer trust me. My husband and I used to do this. It was 20 minutes at first and then the kid wanted 30 minutes and then the kid wanted longer and longer and longer until we reach up there over an hour at a time of peace. That was an hour and a half I could have been down there or my husband could have been down there and US been together. Because see it doesn’t matter what time I child goes to bed me and my husband are going to have mommy and daddy time we usually smoke a little bit watch a movie play a video game do me and him even if it’s at 2 in the morning. It’s just something that we’ve always done together in our marriage. trust me you do not want to start anything that you think is going to be a burden later because trust me five and six years down the road and your child is wanting you to sit there for an hour hour-and-a-half until they fall asleep you’re going to be like oh my gosh I’ve been doing this for 5 and 1/2 6 years now go to bed. Because he’s some children really depend on you as a parent doing that. My mother who has my one daughter and I have the other daughter she’s still going through it Charlotte does not want to sleep in her own bedroom in the hurricane didn’t take away my mom and dad’s house now it took away my house. So my other daughter has her bedroom and she’s 10 years old and she will cry herself to sleep if my mom does not sleep with her she will keep my mom up at night and make her tired at work because Mommy has to get her water get her a sandwich before she goes to bed sit on the bed and sing a lullaby sit on the bed and read a book let Charlotte jump up and down for 10 minutes and get tickled get some more water go to the bathroom go to the bathroom again. At 10 years old I was laying down in my bed I knew better. trust me I understand my mom’s dating to me you want her to be an independent child now. once you start baby in your kids and you do absolutely everything for them they grow up 6 7 8 9 years old going on my mommy and daddy does everything for me I just get to sit there. You don’t want that trust me. My daughters like that. I stopped chores because of our living situation in her money was getting stolen from her from her chore money I was giving her. Now I have an 11 year old who thinks she ain’t got to do any. Excuse me when I was 11 years old I was babysitting kids taking care of a disabled father making lunches making dinner is making Babs picking up after myself I got $80 a week to clean my mom and dad’s house so they didn’t have to. sometimes we want to protect our children and we want to do everything for them sleep with them everything until they grow up a little bit and then we’re sitting there and we realize hey my kid could have been doing this by herself a year or two ago. So if you do read all this please remember the more you baby the child and the more you baby them growing up the more of a baby they’re going to stay. And I’m saying this from the bottom of my heart if the child is already sleeping by itself there is no need to start sleeping with that child in the same bed because this child is going to expect it and want it those babies are smarter than what we think they are. They’re going to know what you’re doing this child is going to know hey now they’re sleeping with me okay they cry when I get a bottle right okay they cry they get a pacifier right okay so if they cry what is mommy and daddy going to do Go sleep in the bed. I just thought I would give that little bit of advice thank you

I made the mistake of letting my 1 /12 year old sleep with us at night. He turns 3 in 10 days and let me tell you, I pretty much sleep on the couch now because he will fall asleep in his bed but within a hour he will be in ours. My 6 month old sleeps in his crib and I’ll stick to that with my second lol

I’ve never done cosleeping…straight to the crib from hospital

Still sleeping with my 7yr old. Don’t do it.

Do you ever want a sex life in the next 10 years? Just being honest.

Let him fall asleep in his crib. Then transfer him.
