My hubby and I had her crib next to our bed in order to meet her needs more quickly. But she would protested feircly every time we tried to put her to sleep in her crib. I finnally gave up and I don't regret It. We all loved it and slept longer and more deeply. <BR/><BR/>My Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15583952.post-1128372745569658152005-10-03T16:52:00.000-04:002005-10-03T16:52:00.000-04:00Mine is, ahem, seven now & I've learned simply to ...Mine is, ahem, seven now & I've learned simply to "don't ask/don't tell"!

My kid's five years old, and it's only the last half a year that we've really tried to get him sleeping in his own bed. But he <I>likes</I> to sleep cuddled up with mom and dad. He sleeps so soundly that way. But he's so long, and so active a sleeper—it's destroying our ability to sleep.

After the endless cycle of cry, rock, bounce, put in crib, cry, rock, bounce, put in crib that I experienced with my firstborn, I decided that not being exhausted and miserable in the morning might just be a worthwhile goal. With my second child, then, I just brought her into bed with us if she woke up during the night. MUCH better. She sleeps on her own now, none the worse for thatSuzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17358441701832129130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15583952.post-1127960902577247862005-09-28T22:28:00.000-04:002005-09-28T22:28:00.000-04:00"Works for us"And that is all that really matters!..."Works for us"<BR/><BR/>And that is all that really matters!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15583952.post-1127949042756928172005-09-28T19:10:00.000-04:002005-09-28T19:10:00.000-04:00Yeah, you do what you both need. :) It's what wo...Yeah, you do what you both need. :) It's what works!<BR/><BR/>Similar story, here - I didn't think we'd cosleep beyond the first few months.
