When have you stopped co-sleeping?

boob, he nurses for a bit a returns to sleep. We really love our little arrnangement. Of course we try not to listen to other people who tell us he'll be with us until Kindergarten if we don't break him out of our "dirtly little habit" People scared me with the "window of opportunity" thing -- there's a theory that it's easy to transition before 6/7 months, and it's easy at 3+ years when they want to, and it's total hell in between. So if you're sure that you don't want, say, an 18-month-old in bed with you, you'd better get the transition at least partly started by 6 months. Totally didn't happen for us. She coslept exclusively until we bought her a toddler bed; never slept in anything but our bed at night before then. We transitioned her very easily at 21 months. She'd crawl into our bed to nurse at that point. We night-weaned her at almost 23 months, also not traumatic. Your baby may vary, but that was our experience. We also love cosleeping. Sproutkin sleeps in her toddler bed about 75% of the time, and with us the other 25%. Mary S. mom to the Sproutkin and a new wee babysprout, due October 1 |
