I really need to know...Am I the ONLY one still sleeping w/ my 5 mo old???

I know I should start breaking the habit but it's SO hard - for me as much as him.

Re: I really need to know...Am I the ONLY one still sleeping w/ my 5 mo old???

It is a hard habit to break - but I bet if you do break it you both get a better nights sleep.

On the other hand, if you aren't ready - then maybe it's just not time yet, when the time is right you will know.

Well perhaps but I am still sleeping with my 13 month old. I didnt break that habit until Emma was 14-15 months so Jeremy has another 2 months to go!

Nope. Miranda is still in our room. She's not in our bed most of the time but I have no plans of moving her to her own room any time soon. I just don't want her to be that far away and she still wakes up often so its just easier to have her nearby.

My son doesn't sleep in our bed, but he sleeps in a bassinet right night to my bed and he will be until at least 6 mos old. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Funny that you posted this, I was thinking the same thing today.

My son is still in our bedroom in a pack and play. He did sleep in his crib the other night and I slept on the floor in his room!

Damien is still in our bed at 2.5

Re: I really need to know...Am I the ONLY one still sleeping w/ my 5 mo old???

Well, this makes me feel a little better and alot worse...he is IN my bed. EVERY NIGHT. And trust me - it's not because he sleeps thru the night that way either - he still wakes up 2-3 times a night. I don't know what it is - I just can't move him. Is this terrible???

He does nap in his crib but it doesn't last more than 30-45 minutes.

KP - was it tough transitioning her @ 15 months?

do you have a video monitor? I find that really helpful - so whenever I wake up at night I can take a peak at Talia in her room and know she is ok....maybe that will make the transition easier?

Im still sleeping with my 8.5 month old so dont worry, I dont mind it really that is where he likes to sleep we couldnt do CIO and I like the idea of being close and comforting him- they're only young once and I have heard positive things about the long term effects of co sleeping although its still not the general preffered method and many people dont agree with it- it works for us and thats whats important

Re: I really need to know...Am I the ONLY one still sleeping w/ my 5 mo old???

my 3 kids are in my bed as we speak! My son starts out in his co-slepper. comes into bed with us around 2:30, the girls are usually in their room, but by 5am we have everyone in bed with us!! I love it!!!

Emily is in her crib every night but sometimes I just miss her terribly. I loved having off all last week so that I could at least take cuddle naps with her.

Re: I really need to know...Am I the ONLY one still sleeping w/ my 5 mo old???

6 months old and still going here!!!!!

Hallf the night in the crib ( which is in our room) half the night in out bed. WE need our sleep and he sleeps with one hand on each of us!

Re: I really need to know...Am I the ONLY one still sleeping w/ my 5 mo old???

Molly slept in our room until she was 5 month old..some nights in her bassinet, some in our bed. She almost always started out in her bassinet and then when she woke up during the night moved to our bed. With working it really was the only thing that got me hours of steady sleep so I took it.
Now she sleeps in her crib with NO problems and has since she was 5.5 months old. If she wakes up at 5am she comes to be with us until she rewakes at 7 and then we all get up for the day.

Stacey slept with Damian for a long time in her bed. You can ask her about it.

Yes - we have the video monitor. When he naps in there I STILL check him ever 2 minutes even with that thing!
