Cosleeping moms- and everyone else who can help!
OK-
Back in Sept. Ry got sick with strep- wanted me at night- so I either took him in my bed- or spent the night with him on the couch...
Immediately after the strep he had THE WORSE case of coxsackie- again- in my bed or the couch-
He was finally better by the middle of October- But since we were going away on vacation(in about a week)- and I knew he wouldnt sleep in a foreign crib while we were there- I figured- why fight it now- just for him to sleep with us while on vacation- Ill break the habit when I get back...
Well we've been back for a month- and the habits not breaking!
Im a mom who is a believer in CIO- but I almost feel like- Ryan is too old for CIO now and it has no effect!
He starts off in his bed- but wakes to come into mine after a couple of hours...
I dont really mind him in their- Dh and I have our "perosnal" time for a few hours - and then he gets up- sleeps with us til 5 and then I put him in his crib and he stays their until 7am when he wakes up...
But my question is- How do you get them into their own bed again? Is it something they will grow out of? Is CIO the only answer? How did you transistion your child back to their cribs?

I would LOVE to know too! Julia is almost 17 months and still in bed with us!
I decided once we move into our new house I'm just going to buy her a big girl bed, hopefully she will like that much better!

Re: Cosleeping moms- and everyone else who can help!
I would love to know too. Dd sleeps with us, I wish i could get her to sleep in her crib for a few hours first. She was doing so well for awhile, now I can't get her to sleep without laying with her and when
I try to put her in her crib she wakes up and screams.

Ryan will be four in January. I would love to know too. Part of the problem is that him sleeping with us is easier for me

I just kept getting up and putting Emma back in her own bed. It happened A LOT but after 2 weeks she stopped waking in the middle of the night and wanting us.

Re: Cosleeping moms- and everyone else who can help!
Ah, I was going to type this long explanation with great advice & then realized I have none.
Maddie fell asleep in my bed last night because she's been in our bed when she was sick. The last thing i wanted was her sleeping in her bed with the Both End virus. She was in pullups & we had a towel just in case.
Tonight - everyone is back in their beds. They were told "that's the schedule." They'll still climb in the middle of the night if they have a nightmare & that's fine.
If you really don't want him in your bed, let him CIO. If you AND your DH don't care, then let him sleep in your bed. One day, he's going to shrug off a hug from you & head off to his own bed. It won't be forever.

Im all for him CIO- but he'll go for hours-
I just feel like its having no influence on him, and crying actually gives him more energy- hence then he wont even go to sleep in my bed- or go to sleep period

After having 2 kids that co-slept to about 1 year old, I can assure you that you can help them grow out of it. I had no issues moving them.

Well, speaking from my point of view. Gabriella is 2.5. We have let her co sleep. At some points we have had to ler her CIO and it's been difficult, but worked.

Re: Cosleeping moms- and everyone else who can help!
Never did CIO here - EVER! Back in September, Michael was getting up at the same time every NIGHT!!! Started with a cold, then teething, then cold again - it was like 1.5 months and all he wanted was ME!! He used to "push" DH out of the bed - but I worked and the only thing that worked was DH out and Michael in. Anyway, I brought him to the doc just to make sure there were no hidden symptoms and he was fine. She said that it was probably the teething since it was the same time every night. The other thing that helped us was taking the side off his crib and turning it into the toddler bed - I am not exactly sure how old your son is, but it did work for us. But back to the teeth - would your son be getting any teeth now?? Eventually his eye teeth popped through and things got better - I'm still not sure if the bed helped, but it's too late now! 
Good luck!!

With my youngest DD we just moved her to her crib (she's 17 months). We would put her in, and I sat next to her crib. I sat there until she feel asleep. Each night I'd move closer to the door. When it was time for me to leave the room, she didn't even cry, she feel asleep by herself. Its the same method she uses on Supernanny and it really worked. She really didn't cry at all.
