We do every night. DD starts out in her crib and then gets in bed with us after she wakes up.

Is there a poll? I can’t see the choices. We try not to, but dd2 comes to our room probably half the time. Dd3 gets brought in out of desperation. I worry less about it now that they are bigger. Bitty babies in bed freaks me out.

We don't share as a rule. It interferes with my already spotty sleep too much. But if one of them is sick or has a bad dream we'll let them cuddle with us for awhile. When S got croup as a baby (before he had a pillow) he'd sleep with us so we could prop him up.

We sleep in her bed pretty often. Get her down, fall asleep, wake up, go to own bed, she wakes up, and repeat. Hubs has declared he is done and wants to CIO I am having a lot of anxiety about this. It makes me physically sick to listen to the crying. I told him I can't think about it until our vacation. Since we will be staying at home I said I would consider trying then.

Can’t see poll on Tapa but I sleep in dd2’s room every night.
She has a queen sized floor mattress, and I put her down in there, go have the rest of my evening. If I’m really tired I will just go to bed in her room when I’m ready for bed, if not I will start out in my own bed and move to hers when she wakes up.
Did the same thing with dd1. Now my H will go in with dd1 if she wakes up and has a hard time sleeping, but she sleeps pretty well these days.

We bedshared until earlier this year. DD sleeps in her crib all night now. With DS we bed shared much longer but I just couldn’t make that work this time.

Then bringing her to your bed once she wakes up? Have you thought about getting a bed for her room so she can get used to sleeping in her own room? That way you guys can have your bed back, and there will be more room for everyone to stretch out and sleep! I think if I were in your shoes that’s the first thing I’d do. Every once in a while dd2 will wake up an hour or so after going to bed. My H used to be able to get her back down, but I don’t even bother letting him try anymore - it never works. I usually go in and 5 minutes later can sneak out again. I was a lot more stressed out about dd1’s sleep than I am about dd2’s this time around. Now it doesn’t bother me to get up and go to dd2’s bedroom around midnight and sleep with her the rest of the night. I thought it was “weird” or I was doing it wrong when dd1 was younger. Now I DGAF - I need some sleep! And, for the record, dd1 started sleeping longer and deeper just after she turned 2. All kids are different but I’m hoping it’s the case for all of our kiddos.

nellieoleson we recently discussed putting a big girl bed in there but weren't sure if that would be causing new problems. I am beginning to think it's the best idea though. I'm really ok with all her sleep stuff, just wish the first wake-up after one hour would change because it really keeps us from hanging out at night. I think you are right, it would be a lot easier just to Kat next to her then try to get her to sleep and then transfer her. She has never been in her crib awake and not cried... so don't see that changing. We need to get a big girl bed and really work on making it an ok place for her!

And if you put even a full sized bed in there you would have plenty of room to join her. I’d start with it on the floor or you could do a low platform, too. We have dd2’s set up kind of like this: Another plus is that it’s fun for them to play on when they aren’t sleeping. The dds love to run and jump on dd’s bed and play on it all the time.

I love that idea. I really want her to be happy on her bed and I think changing from the crib is a good start because we could read in bed/ play, etc. we have a crib that changes into a bed so we will probably start there and see how it goes.... I think a bigger bed would be better but want to try out what we have first.
I love the set up in that pic! So cute!

I think you are going to run into a lot more difficulties if you go that route... I say pack up the crib entirely and hope kid #2 gets more use out of it! (Says the person who has a like-new crib after having 2 kids)

With DS we coslept until 17 months or so and then we converted the crib to a toddler bed so we could lay down with him and help him get comfortable sleeping in his room. Then I could leave after he was asleep and I’d go sleep with him or pat him back down when he woke up in the night like Nellie is doing. The toddler bed from crib was NOT comfortable for the parent. It didn’t take long before I completely converted his crib into a full-size bed and it was so much better. @welltothewell does your crib convert to a full as well? I’d get a mail order full size memory foam mattress (Tuft & Needle, Casper, etc) and go that route if you can. Or just throw it on the floor and put the crib away for baby #2! 😉

Occasionally I've let DD1 or DD2 climb into our bed for a bit when it's storming at night or in the morning when I wanted to get just a bit more sleep. None of our kids have ever slept better in our bed, though. In fact, they're usually very restless. So we pretty much never bed-share.

DD1 hated the crib. I ended up buying a mattress pad and her and I slept on the floor. Some nights I would start in my room and when she woke up I went in to her room. About 2-3 weeks before she turned 2 she got a big girl full bed because I needed to get her out of my bed and I needed to be out of her room. DD2 starts in her crib and usually is there half the night. When I’m at the point of being too tired to try to put her back in the crib I just bring her to mine. Every night is different. Some nights she’s good in my bed, some nights she restless and I put her back for peace, and others it’s a mix.

This exactly- my kids can't get settled when they are in bed with us. Neither one is much for snuggles we did the Ferber method with both kids.
