Default When have you stopped co-sleeping?


In short:
When and how did you stop co-sleeping? Also why?

Thanks,
Lisa


Both of my girls needed to be moved out of our bed when they started
walking. They were both little enough when they walked (about 12
pounds), that they could get away without waking either of us, and
they both got injured walking off the edge of the bed. (One got
wedged between the bed and the cedar chest at the foot of the bed, one
fell and cut her head on a vent) I don't know if they were
sleepwalking, or trying to get away with something being sneaky, but I
used to sleep with them on my arm, or under my arm, and they managed
to get away, however they did it.

The transition was easy with one, harder with the other (who then had
to be moved from the crib because she was climbing out, and got stuck
hanging by her ankles at about 18 months), but after a few bad nights,
they eased into it. They both moved out of our bed by about 10
months.

I wouldn't worry if you think he's getting enough sleep overall,
everyone wakes up periodically, and if you like it, stick with it for
awhile longer, I'd think. Once he starts moving around, you can
reevaluate ; )
