co-sleeping

(Vent.) I'm going through a rough patch with my daughter's sleep. I briefly mentioned it at a parents' group and a dad lectured me about good ol' CIO and how he trained his kids to sleep 7-7 and 2x 2 hour naps a day. Just close the door and don't go in until the time is up. It's that easy...

any advice on transitioning my 6 month old to her crib? she’s always slept with me, and my husband has slept in another bed as we have different sleep schedules (he’s a fisherman and gets up at 3 am for work everyday and goes to bed at 8 pm) but we’re missing sleeping in the same bed and she...

Curious what others do. Baby started sleeping in bed with me at 4 months old and I leave the sound machine on all night just because that’s what we were doing before. She’s now 7 months and tbh I’m not sure if it makes a difference at all. Maybe it helps cover any small noises I make? But I also...

That’s where I’m at right now. I have 4 kids, and my fourth 9 months old right now. Recently, every 20 minutes or so he just yells out and wakes up. Eventually around 1 or 2 am he just wakes up entirely just playing. I’ve had his ears checked and they’re clear, no infection. I honestly can’t...

Our whole house has been hit with covid including my cosleeping 9 month old. Today is his first day with noticeable symptoms. At 1:00pm his temp was 38.6°c and he was miserable so we gave some tylenol and it went down to 36.4°c. It's now 4:30pm and his temp went back up to 37.4°c. Typically I...

Most of the week, I cosleep in our spare room with my 9 month old. She’s not a great sleeper and still wakes every 3ish hours at night to nurse. My husband is very sweet and often talks about missing having me in our shared bed, so we’re doing shared bed on the weekends when we can both afford...

Hello! My LO is 7 months and wakes every sleep cycle for boob. If he doesn’t get it, he cries. The odd time I will pick him up and rock him back to sleep. Either way, I’m exhausted and even with cosleeping I’m hardly getting any sleep. It was like this since his 4 month regression for about 10...

Hi there! I have just started cosleeping during part of the night with my 7 week old. (She sleeps her first stretch in her bassinet.) Questions if you could please help out a newbie! How do you maximise comfort? I am getting a sore hip and dead arm. We are not able to put our mattress on the...

hey there i have a unique question i haven’t been able to find the answer for in the facebook groups on threads here: i want to buy a sidecar sleeper - i heard ikea has one? but my bed is pretty low. Also, my partner and i do sleep shifts - sleeping parent in the bed upstairs - baby duty parent...

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 I’d have to nurse him to sleep, he’d detach and then I’d lay him down, he’d resettle and...

Hi, we are first-time parents and every single resource we've come across (classes, articles, doctor's visits, hospital) has preached safe sleep and having your baby sleep in a bassinet or crib by themselves. Our baby is one week old and we have tried putting him, swaddled, changed, asleep in...

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

I know it’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...

Hi all - we started a daycare transition period for my LO last week and it’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. He’s been great when it...

Hi all I started bed sharing with my LO at 4.5mo and he’ll be 6mo next week. My husband is a sound sleeper and super loud snorer so we kicked him to the couch with a kiss and a pillow lol. So just my son and I sleep in a king size bed and I have my son on a firm bassinet mattress and it’s...

Hello, I’m considering co sleeping because my son only sleeps while he is being held at night. I have something similar to this portable bassinet and was wondering if I have my son in this on the bed next to me, is this safe? I’m having trouble finding information on this. Has anyone done...

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...

Hi all, I bed share with my 7-week-old and it’s mostly wonderful. We started around 3 weeks and it was life changing, we all sleep better. HOWEVER, just this week she has suddenly started this thing where she wakes up to eat around 4 (that part is normal) and then just WIGGLES FOR A WHOLE HOUR...

Hi, has anyone found bed rails that lie flush or "seamless" against the bed , ie they have like a ledge that overlaps the mattress, so that there is no gap? This one seemed perfect, but very few reviews, and they say that it only works on a wood bed frame...

The pattern for the last few months has been our 20 month old starts off in their bed 7.30 and comes into ours between 1 and 3am. She's fed and the sleeps on. It's exhausting for my partner at the best of times but it's seen working for us on the whole - the child is happy, is easily soothed, we...
