    I created a dependency Iā€™m not fond ofā€¦what do I do?

    My baby (5mo) got his first cold. And then I got sick immediately after. Prior to this he was a good sleeper. I could lay him down for naps after walking and humming him to sleep and walk away. Sometimes Iā€™d have to nurse him to sleep, heā€™d detach and then Iā€™d lay him down, heā€™d resettle and...

    False starts and cosleeping!!

    Hey yā€™all! Weā€™ve been cosleeping since baby refused the bassinet at 2 months old. Sleep has never been amazing but when LOā€™s 4 month regression hit it was brutal and we went from 2-4 wakings per night to hourly wakings for 10+ weeks. Heā€™s almost 7 months old and since about the 6 months mark...

    7 month old wonā€™t sleep alone

    I know itā€™s my own doing, and I know the dangers of co-sleeping. I initially had the Snoo which worked for 4 months when we went overseas to meet her dad, time difference etc threw everything off. She slept on a mattress on the floor next to me, waking countless times needing to be cuddled back...

    5.5 month struggling with daycare

    Hi all - we started a daycare transition period for my LO last week and itā€™s been touch and go. He has been EBF, contact naps and co-sleeps since he was born, so he is very attached. We are starting super slowly with a few hours and trying to work up to one nap there. Heā€™s been great when it...

    When will Americans finally not care that I cosleep?

    My LO is 5 months. At bedtime I put him in his crib because I stay up a few hours later than him. When I go to sleep, I sleep on a floor bed in the nursery. In the morning he usually wakes up around 5am and falls asleep while nursing in our floor bed. I then either transfer him back to the crib...

    I need stories of your kiddos moving to their own sleep space

    My LO is 2 months and we bedshare out of desperation. And contact nap. I keep hearing ā€œso and so slept with their kids and they were in their bed until they were 10ā€ I can tell you I do not want that (fine if you do, I donā€™t). I love sleeping with my LO for the convenience factor, she sleeps so...

    10m baby can't sleep without being rocked

    My baby always needs for the overnight sleep to be rocked in someone's arms. Sometimes it works to bounce on the yoga balls, sometimes she wants to be walked around. For the day naps she falls asleep while cosleeping fairly easy (sometimes she needs to be held in my arms but without rocking or...

    11 week old kicking and squirming

    Iā€™ve been co sleeping with my 11 week old pretty much since birth and we were all sleeping quite well (about 2 wake ups on average each night) until recently. I used to sleep through his active sleeping most of the time but recently, as heā€™s gotten bigger, this has been hard work. Heā€™s a big...

    Help! 8 month old suddenly canā€™t sleep unless heā€™s in my arms

    We have coslept since pretty much day 1 from the hospital. Typically I can put him down and heā€™ll sleep for 1-3 hours without waking up. Then I join him in bed and when he wakes, Iā€™ll pop a boob in while Iā€™m still laying down and heā€™ll eat and then go back to sleep. Lately (past week or so)...

    How to manage baby thrusting self in every direction??

    My baby is 9 months old and has recently starting aggressively falling backwards to get himself to sleep. Iā€™ve always let him self-soothe (in addition to nursing) to get himself to sleep. Heā€™s always been able to either nurse to sleep or shake his head to fall asleep. However, now that heā€™s more...

    Going on a cruise with a cosleeper

    Bub is 7 months (will be 8mo on cruise), and just started co-sleeping maybe coming into 3 weeks now, and after hourly waking since 4mo regression, I'm finally getting some sleep. Currently, she sleeps like a log, no rolling and Dad is in a separate room, just for extra safety and space. Our...

    Will a few nights of bedsharing get my 7.5-month-old hooked?

    Our baby loves his crib, so weā€™ve never felt the need to cosleep. This week, however, weā€™re doing some work on the nursery. Baby is set to share our room for at least the next three nights. We tried using the pack and play last night, and he hated it (I donā€™t blame him. It looks uncomfortable...

    Close call this morning but canā€™t figure out how

    I had a very close suffocation call this morning but have been racking my brain trying to figure out how it happened. My son is 9wks, he mostly sleeps in the crib at night but we will cosleep in the very early hours of the morning. We are following all safe sleep 7 guidelinesā€”I nurse him, we...

    I am severely sleep deprived

    My baby is 4mo now and since heā€™s been born, Iā€™ve been doing all nights. Even before he was born, Iā€™d say I was already sleep deprived while pregnant because I was HUGE. Since I was doing all his nights it didnā€™t take long for me to ditch the bassinet, and we currently bedshare (if youā€™re going...

    Cosleeping and babysitting?

    For parents that cosleep, how do you go out without your little one? Our baby is 8 months old and weā€™ve only ever coslept for naps and longer stretches of sleep. Sheā€™ll stay sometimes if I get up at the right time but usually sheā€™ll wake pretty soon after. Weā€™ve never left her with anyone else...

    Co sleeping isnā€™t working. Nothing is working

    I donā€™t know what to do. Nothing works to keep my baby asleep except in my arms. My back is killing me, my arms are killing me. We have tried every tip and trick I can find on the internet and in these subreddits. Falling asleep is the easy part, he just wonā€™t stay that way. He keeps waking up...

    C curl

    Iā€™ve been co sleeping& c curling with my LO for the past 9 weeks (sheā€™s 12w) it started from her being so over stimulated from Christmas that she didnā€™t sleep for almost 20 hours and would only sleep on me, she loved her crib but Iā€™ve created a very cute little monster (although I must admit I...

    Baby is waking up every 30 minutes at night

    I cosleep with my 9 month old breastfed baby. When we first started cosleeping it was a lifesaver, she would sleep 6+ hours at night without waking up. It was almost concerning. Over time she has started waking up more and more, usually 6+ times a night. This week, however, she has been waking...

    Feeding question

    How to you switch breasts at night with cosleeping and feeding? Does everyone just have a ā€œnight timeā€ boob? šŸ˜‚ my LO sleeps on my left side so I would feed her in side lying in the L, but I donā€™t feel comfortable switching our positions because my partner is also in the bed and that would put...

    Husband wants to stop cosleeping and let baby CIO

    Our baby has had a tough time sleeping since she exited the womb nine months ago (8mo corrected age). I finally got her into a good nap schedule last month. On a good day, her schedule is approximately 2.75/3/3.5 with two naps ranging from 1 hr to 1.5 hr (between 2-3 hrs of daytime rest). Her...
