Do your kids still sleep on your bed?

[sleepy]

my elder slept in her own room at 18 months old

my younger one slept with her sister since she was 5 months old

the younger they are, the easier to move
they won't protest so much

Both my kids co-sleep with us since birth. Don't foresee any changes in near future cos we enjoy this arrangement tremendously. For us, the bonding and closeness from co-sleeping is simply too precious. My hubby always says to treasure it while it lasts.

sorry when u guys say sleep together meaning kids & parents sleep on the same bed? or sleep separately but in the same room? I wonder does it make a difference?


my girl will want to sleep on my bed and i’ll accompany her until she sleeps. thereafter, i’ll transfer her to her cot which is in my bedroom.

Same bed. It seems like same room is generally accepted. Anyway, during the good old days, my parents managed to squeeze our entire family of 9 people in the 2 rooms of a 3 room flat. But we were all sleeping on our own mattresses, and my parents' bed remain sacred

same bed, same room. co-sleep

it started right from birth till now, as i breastfed and it makes things easy.

sometimes can b quite irritating when they start conquering every space.

other than that, we’re loving it

How to train the kids to sleep on their own?


My daughter is coming to 5 soon. She doesnt like the idea of sleeping alone. She was taken care by my mother in law since young and she co-sleep with her.

My son is having the same problem too and he is 2yo.

I tried putting both of them in the same room but they still dun feel secure. We have tried waiting for them to sleep and move out but then they will come in mid of the night and ask one of us to move over.

anyone have a good solution in how to get your kids to sleep in their own rooms yet?


tried the decor/painting thingee… body was sore from all that shifting and painting… with no results… my 5-yr-old princess still jumps right in after her parents have gone to sleep…

Get her a sister to sleep with?

[Shera]

My baby is sleeping on his own during daytime and his daddy sleeps with him every night at baby's room. From my observation, he always wake up in the middle of the night to see if his daddy is around then goes back to sleep again.


Actually some children are more ready to sleep on his own than others. I guess only time and trial and error will solve our problems :oops:

*er erhm*.... 2 will be just fine thankyou...

the pattern is currently:

. mummy reads to her in her room on her bed
. mummy falls asleep before story ends (dun laugh hor)
. she then gets out of bed and potters around the house like daddy
. daddy gets irritated says \"little girl.. time to sleep\"
. \"okay daddy\" and promptly disappears to another part of the house to quietly continue pottering
. mummy wakes up, yells at daddy, \"oi so late, go and sleep!\"
. mummy goes back to the master room and knocks out before her head hits the pillows
. 'little girl' squeezes-in on the same bed
. daddy sometimes has to sleep with 'gor gor' coz i get kicked out of the parents bed.

sound familiar?
