? or co-sleepers

We co-sleep and I love it! I don't plan on moving my son to his bed anytime soon but when do plan on it? I'm afraid that once he starts rolling over and becoming more mobile it may be a problem....I don't want him scooting around and wind up on the floor!

I love it to- co-sleeping.
I think we will get the crib when she is about 5 months to begin to introduce sleeping on her own during the day.

i regret sleeping with my older daughter seeing as she is STILL in my bed as a matter of fact she is there now sleeping sideways so i slept on the couch it is becoming very uncomfortable at night to have her in bed with us ..so this time emma started sleeping in her bed and she doesnt even like to sleep in our bed she only wants her her bed when its time for bed......i think 6 months is a good time to start we moved emma in her room at 5 months and she is doing great!

I don't mean to alarm you and I'm certainly NOT criticizing you but a big worry I have with co-sleeping is accidentally rolling over on my baby and not waking up and having him sufforcate.

my three year started sleeping with us when he was 6mths old, due to the fact that we had family down and using his room, he movedin with us, plus he was very ill at that time as well, and i wanted to make sure he was fine, it has taken us nearly 9mths to get him back into his room as he was used to the company and i am still having him waking up in the night looking for us, so my advise is to do it asap and not leave it to late..

I don't know!!! I love my daughter sleeping with me. She is getting pretty rolly polly though. I'm not worried about her rolling off because she's in between my husband and me. She just wakes me up because she moves around, wacks me in the face, and kicks me all night. I was thinking around 6 months I'd try putting her in her crib but I said that I would when she was 4 months and I didn't so who knows. I'm realy going to try this time because she getting too big and I don't sleep well. I probably won't sleep well with her in her room either but ya know...

i feel dumb for asking this but what is a co-sleeper? ive heard people talk about this a bunch and i was just wondering

I let my older son sleep with me for a little while when he was younger and it turned into a HUGE problem .. We didn't get him out of our bed until I got pregnant with Ryan and webought our new house .. Once in awhile I co-sleep with Ryan because he is teething and cranky and I breastfeed so it's a lot easier but that is once in awhile .. I don't plan on making a habit out of it .. I'm really not sure how I feel about co-sleeping .. It makes me nervous thinking about people doing it because of all of the stories you hear but I've done it .. I suggest you start putting the baby in the crib for naps and such and eventually he will become more comfortable sleeping in there .. The sooner the better .. You might end up like me with a 4 year old in your bed every night  

Thanks for all your replies. Co-sleeping just means that the baby sleeps in bed with you. I was thinking 6 months as well. To be honest though I don't mind if he has a hard time sleeping on his own and still wants to be with us. I just feel like he needs us at night just as much he would during the day. I'll play it by ear I guess and see what happens.

I dont have any kids of my own (yet) so obviously Im not speaking from personal experience here.... however two of my good friends , both single moms, had their babys sleep with them for various reasons, and being single, they got just as used to it as the kids did and now.... Lisas 7 year old absolutely cannot sleep by himself, not even for a nap. Its ridiculous. She cant even get a baby sitter because whos going to lay down with a kid everytime he wants to go to sleep??? And Kelly has a 9 year old who still sleeps with her... not always in the same bed, but always always in the same room.

It can be a tough habit to break for both the parent and the kid if its not dealt with @ an early enough age!

Well that's what happenend to my sister and I. My mother divorced my father when I was 4 so I guess she enjoyed the extra company. We slept in bed with her untill about 9 years old then we just kind fo choose to go to our rooms on our own. My mother never seemed to mind and now that my mother has past away it's one of my fondest memories.

i cannot wait until ally will sleep all night in her bed.......i need a good nights sleep

Aiden sleeps in his portable crib, but for his last feeding (around 5 or 6)I usually transfer him over to my bed, I looove waking up next to him!!

William slept with us for the first 5 and a half monthsof his life untilhe started rolling over by himself,then we decided it was time to put himin his crib. Now he sleeps most of the nightby himself (well, his crib is in our room, but on the opposite wall from our bed...). I'll still let him sleep with me if he wakes up to eat, which is usually around 3-4 AM, until it's time to start the day around 7:30- 8.
One thing that worked wonders for me to get him to sleep by himself, was that I'd put either the shirt I wore that day, or another of my shirts that I had worn at least once, in the crib with him, and he'd snuggle up to it and fall asleep pretty quickly...
This saturday, I put him in there without the shirt, and he was up and screaming in 5 minutes, but as soon as I put one of my shirts in with him, he grabbed it and went right to sleep. I didn't say anything, or touch him,just put my shirt next to him, and he was back to sleep in 30 seconds.
I always check to make sure it's not covering his mouth, but he just likes it near his face so he can smell me....
