Anyone else still cosleeping?

Question

We’ve been cosleeping ever since the 4 month sleep regression started. He was waking every hour and I couldn’t function at work so I just brought him in bed with me. He’s starting to sleep a little better, but still wakes about 3 times a night to nurse then goes back to sleep. I would love to have my bed back and be able to be intimate with my SO but every time I try to put my son in his crib, we’re up every hour again and I just can’t do it. I reallllly don’t want to sleep train either 😭 is that my only option? Are there any success stories with babies sleeping through the night without sleep training?

Answer

Still co sleeping here also! I said six months I’d start to transition, she will be six months the 23 and I am more than comfortable admitting I am not ready 😂 she is an absolute dream girl but we both had a very traumatic birth and if I keep her longer than that’s what happens🥰 I TRY to make myself be more gentle with me, especially because becoming a mama is crazy.

Answer

I was bed sharing with mine and wound up having to sleep train to get him sleeping in his crib. I did a very gentle version of the Ferber method - never let him cry longer than 7 minutes. He was sleeping in his crib with no problems by night 3. Every once in awhile he fights it when I lay him down, but he doesn’t cry. Just kind of fusses for a minute or two and is out. He still wakes 2 times a night to eat, but he was premature so the doctor says he will probably need those extra calories at night for a little longer. Its still way better than him sleeping in bed with me because my husband and I have our space back. And my son actually seems to like sleeping in his crib now.

Still co sleeping too. I wake up at 5:40 for work and my husband doesn’t get up with baby at night so I’m too tired to try to sleep train rn. I am leaving my job in a week and a half so I’ll try to sleep train then.

I still co sleep. Daughter sleeps in her crib for all naps and sometimes will start out in there at night but then wakes up after a few hours and I bring her to bed. I got tired of “going by the book”. I can’t sleep when she’s in her crib anyways because the mama bear in me just feels like a piece is missing at night. She only wakes up once now usually and that’s it. It’s working for us and I’ve come to terms that she’s still a baby and baby’s need comfort and attention even at night. It just doesn’t feel natural to me and I’ve learned that that’s ok. Gotta do what works for you and your family as well as what makes you feel comfortable.

Answer

My son slept with us until two weeks ago. He now sleeps in the crib. We did not sleep train. He wakes 2 times a night to feed. Some nights are worse than others in terms of him needing rocking or having a diaper blowout or just being fussy. So it’s not perfect, but my husband and I can now spoon in bed, and we have some sanity back!

Answer

Mine was doing that and we were co-sleeping from 4am to 7am. I ended up having to sleep train and now he sleeps all night with only one wake. I did a modified sleep training he kept his soother and I gave it back to him when I checked in every 5-10 minutes. I told myself I would never let him cry more than 40 minutes total without stopping but that never happened. It took 2 nights, first night he cried for 30 minutes , second night 20 and now he fusses but is stopped before I even get to the door. He’s also still in our room so if he wakes up during the night I don’t let him cry (because my husband is sleeping and has to work) he only wakes once now though and I pop his soother in and he’s out again. Before we did sleep training I was up every hour putting the soother in and finally would give in and bring him to our bed. We are all so much happier and well rested now.

Answer

My baby sleeps through the night without sleep training but idk if it’s due to anything we do 🤷🏼‍♀️ She sleeps in a pack n play in our room, we either nurse or rock her to sleep every night, sometimes she wakes up crying when we put her down and we try to rock her body with our hand on her chest rather than picking her back up, sometimes we have to pick her back up though. Putting her to bed can take up to an hour if she keeps crying when put down. Once she’s asleep for the night she’ll sleep until 7 am. Our room is super dark and we have loud white noise on all night. Other than that we don’t really do anything by the book. I wish she could put herself to sleep at bedtime, but I know she can do it since she sleeps all night so I’m hoping it’s a skill that develops with age.
