Sooooo much easier if you cosleep

I co sleep, but that was the plan from the beginning.

Co sleeping is out of the question for my family unfortunately..

no. Dh is active in the night feedings so it helps.
He usually gets her, changes her and brings her in to me. After she finishes I put her back in bed. Same way with DD1

I did for the first few months, but between 4-6 months I move them to their own beds completely. I've never been an "all or nothing" kind of parent with that though, we co-slept when it worked & they slept in their crib when it didn't.

Yes we did.

But obviously you don't have to. But I wouldn't have it any other way. I never planned to cosleeping with dd1 but when I got her home I couldn't bear not to. I planned to cosleeping with dd2 from before I got preg haha. I can't sleep without touching my babies.

I breast fed and didn't co sleep. I knew I wouldn't get any sleep because Id always be worrying about if me or SO was going to roll over onto him. When he would wake up I would sit in his room in our glider and feed him and then put him back to bed. It wasn't bad but I think I might like to co sleep with our next one and get something that attaches to the side of the bed.

That's actually a very good routine and I think something like that may work with SO and I as well. He works until 3:30 gets home around 4am... and is awake until 5 or 6 usually anyways.

Had the crib in our bedroom for 12 months (full disclosure - we lived in a one bedroom.) She slept in the crib only a few steps from my side of the bed. I'd nurse laying down (if I fell asleep for a few minutes I didn't freak) I put her back in the crib when she was done nursing.

I only co-slept for maybe the first week- 5 days of which I was in the hospital. I didn't want to co-sleep with the way that SO sleeps (he's an active sleeper and has no sense of baby squishing). We had a basinette that we used for the first few months, and because I was lazy, I kept his crib in our room until we were completely done BFing.

i breastfed and didnt co sleep, but i did lay her down with me and then moved her to her bed once she was done nursing

How was it trying to transition your LO's from co sleeping to sleeping in their own crib?

I tried not to co-sleep. I'm not comfortable with it at all... but sometimes I would fall asleep nursing him.

For the most part he would nurse at 11, while I was still up.. I'd put him in bed and he would sleep until about 5am, at which point I would usually fall asleep nursing him. We wake up before 6, though so it wasn't long.
