Any bedsharing mommas out there?

Question

I’m currently bedsharing with my 9 week old, wasn’t the plan but she has always hated her bassinet
How long do you plan to share for and any transition tips to transfer her to bassinet/ crib? ( which will be in my room)

Answer

We bed share. Wasn’t planning on it, was actually VERY against it. She falls asleep in her bassinet next to our bed, which I’ve been slowly moving further and further away from our bed. But, in the middle of the night she will wake up and the only way to get her back to sleep is to put her in our bed. 
I keep telling myself I’m going to stop, but I’m so tired and out of it when she wakes me up that I forget I was going to stop doing it😂

Answer

I am bed sharing and I am not sure when will I put him away. Definitely not before six months. Probably somewhere between 6 months to 1 year.
To be honest, I think my baby is ready to sleep on his own but I am not because i really love having him in my bed.

Answer

Could you try transferring your scent to the crib sheet? Maybe lay on or wear the crib sheet for awhile then get her to sleep on it.

Answer

We bed share. I don’t like it because she takes up so much room and I can’t get a good nights sleep, but she won’t go to sleep unless we do. I’m thinking of pulling our bed out and putting her bassinet at the head of our bed just to see if she will sleep in that to transition over.

Answer

We bed share from 6am-9am. For some reason during daytime she won't settle long in her basket so seeing as I'm exclusively breast feeding this has just been easier for me and baby. I am very careful though, no blankets and only 1 pillow that's far enough away from baby's head. I also wait until my partner leaves for work so we can sleep closer to the middle of the bed. If my partner isn't working then he usually ends up squished against the wall.

Answer

We bed share! It wasn’t my plan but it’s what works for us. I want to start her transition to a crib once she’s weaned or sleeping longer stretches. We are still on the every three hour thing at two months. I plan on breastfeeding until 6 or 7 months. I say I want her out of my bed but deep down I love cuddling with my girl so it will probably be a more difficult transition for me more than her!

Answer

We bed share, I did it with my first from birth to 6 months and then transitioned him to his crib in his own room using the Ferber method. It worked in 1 night and he’s been sleeping 11 hours a night since then (now 20 months old). I plan to follow the same schedule and routine with this babe.

Answer

We bed share. I plan on allowing it until she's ready. She also doesn't mind the bassinet but only sleeps in it for 1.5-3 hours. When she sleeps with us it's 2-5 hours.
