Question Mommies: How did you get your baby to sleep in their own space? Or do you co-sleep? (My boy is 2months and has been co-sleeping with me & my bf since the beginning, we find it hard to get him to sleep in his own space)

How old is too old to co-sleep?
You want to try co-sleeping with your child, but you do not know until what age you can:
- Co-sleeping is doable from birth.
- A child's need for security often corresponds to the breastfeeding period, sometimes up to 2 or 3 years old.
- Know that it might be harder to put your child in a separate room if all they've been used to is sharing sleeping space with you.
- Co-sleeping can have a negative impact on a couple's sexuality, so make sure you find sleeping arrangements that work for everyone!

Co-sleeping vs bassinet And comment y I will be ready feeding but I really want to do bassinet😩my older sister is trying to bully me into the co sleep
Sheyenne
Honestly, I was always that person that was very against cosleeping until my baby was actually here once my daughter was here I was also breast-feeding and would fall asleep sitting up breast-feeding her so at that time I just started cosleeping for a while because it was safer than falling asleep and accident dropping her or something when she was three months, we went back to the bassinet but around six months I went back to work and was gone all day from her so we ended up starting to co-sleep again because I missed being with her now she is eight months old and I am back at home again as a stay at home mom so we are working on moving her to her crib, everyone is so different. There is nine of us and everyone is so different. There is multiple siblings that have kids that cosleep and some that are very very against it and have some that are still figuring it out

Any tips on sleep training 7month old?😩 she’s been co-sleeping in her co-sleeper but I need my bed back and she needs to start sleeping in her crib. Someone please help💕
Jaesyn
You could start by trying out her napping in her room during the day and walking around in her room/area she will be sleeping to get her used to the area she will be sleeping in...and slowly transition into putting her in her bed every few nights and closing the gap closely...I haven't personally done this but was told this was easiest way to try to start building the habit to sleep alone

So for a week now ice been co sleeping with my baby since she screams when she's not sleeping with me.. today at 6am she learned how to roll and fell out of my bed and hit the floor super hard.. it broke my heart to hear her screaming Like that. I didn't know she could roll but I do wanna co sleep. The guy I've been talking to made me feel super bad about everything that happened today and I cried for 4 hours. She's at the hospital rn. She seems ok but I need to get her checked out😔💔

co sleeping can be dangerous IF you’re not doing it right. I ABSOLUTELY HATE when other mother’s try to make us mothers who do co sleep feel bad for doing so. TONS of mothers co sleep and their baby’s turn out fine. Just find SAFE ways of co sleeping. I co sleep because I feel better feeling my sons every movement I’m quicker to react if something is wrong if he’s right next to me. you can’t do that when they’re in a bassinet. Also my baby has to feel me in order to sleep. I just put him in a sleeper and keep him without blankets next to me. I am a light sleeper and I don’t move in my sleep that’s why I am comfortable with doing so. If you deep sleep or move a lot in your sleep then yes I suggest you put your baby in a bassinet. Regardless of co sleeping or bassinet sleeping neither is wrong! But to each it’s own!

I agree definitely by preference… me I’m not doing it just like you said I’m a deep but also light sleeper but also can be a wild sleeper depending on how tired I am Im too scared … but luckily my aunt bought a bassinet that the sides let down so if something was to happen god forbid I can respond and call 911 or do cpr which ever … but it definitely depends on the parent

Yes! Everyone knows which one they’re more comfortable with doing I have a bassinet too so when he does let me put him in there I do but if my baby isn’t in a deep sleep and I try putting him in his bassinet he’ll cry😭 I think his eye site is getting better too because when I do put him in his bassinet and he’s awake I’ll set up my phone in there and put on a kids movie for him and he just be so quiet watching it 😂❤️

my baby sleeps so much longer laying next to me. and when she wakes up all I have to do is pop out a boob (sideline position) she feeds, burps, and back to sleep. I know why co-sleeping is frowned upon, but we both sleep so well lol do not regret it.
Tina
literally same with my baby girl. after I got her into her nighttime routine, she does so much better laying with me
