We ended up sleeping together last night anyways around 3ish am. ..:arg I was so nervous about not being able to hear him on the baby monitor that i kept waking up and straining to listen to it to see if he was okay and kept going in his room so I ended up not sleeping anyway....so I ended up just saying screw it and sleeping together again..I guess I am really not ready yet and DH will just have to deal with it. I will try again a month before DH comes home.

Aww, I think that is ok. It must be really hard with a baby and DH gone.

I had Nate is my room, right next to the bed until he was almost 6 months old.. I was not comfortable right awat leaving him in his room alone.. Also the idea that I may not hear him freaked me out.. Dh was gone and right before he got home I tansitioned Nate into his room.. I think at that point we were both ready.. SO (sorry for threadjacking) it is ok and don't feel bad.. when you are ready you will know...

Landen is in our room in his crib b/c we are in a 2 bedroom apt but when I lay him down for a nap in his crib I just put the baby monitor at the top of the crib close to his head and turn up my end of the monitor full blast and I can here him breath. I woudl try that when your ready. I have these monitors http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4241544 so even if he makes a faint noise the lights so up and I can see it. It's ok girlie you will do it when your ready.

thanks jessica..I think I will have to look into getting that one..the one I bought is really crappy I think..because it is really static like no matter what channel.

Kaleigh sleeps with us we had to buy a king size bed for the three of us, unfortunately sh is far to comfortable to want to sleep in her own crib, I was parinod to when she was born though I think the first month I only got like 15 hours of sleep, I know it's hard but try to break the habit now while it's early because it suck trying to share a bed with a one year old... the feet and butts in the face will keep you up alot..

Yeah that is what I and DH are kinda worried about..my sister is 12 and she still sleeps with my mom all the time unless she has a friend spending the night..so we definetly don't want that lol.

we are going to keep the baby in our room for at least 6 weeks and then make a decison from there

The first night Preston was by himself was two nights ago. It was horrible. I kept waking up and going in his room at any noise and ended up bringing him in bed with me around 4 am.

He slept WONDERFULLY last night in his own room, and I slept a lot better as well. So it might not hurt to try again. I have the same monitor that Jess has, and it is really sensitive...I kept hearing the fan cord dinging the first night.

I'm in the same situation you are, though Preston is a bit older. It's still tough :hugs

good luck sweety

I understand you completely. We all share the same bedroom here. The 2nd bedroom has kinda been made into a walk in closet/storage room. I dont plan on moving them until we move back home then they will be in a room together until they are old enough to be in their own room. Im a whimp I just couldnt move my babies

Jasmine still sleeps in my room in her crib and she is 6 months but once we're moved and settled I will start to ease her into sleeping in her own room. So don't feel bad about having ur little one in there with you sometimes when Jas is really fussy at night I break down and put her in bed with me.

DS slept in a bassinet beside our bed until he was about 5 months because i couldnt sleep with him in another room. I would try doing that at first so you can get him out of your bed but dont have to worry since he's right there.

DS slept great from 5-7 months in his crib and then as soon as DH left and we moved to my parents to wait on him ds wouldnt and still wont sleep in his crib. He justed turned a year old and DH will be back next month so i'm really trying hard but it isnt working for me.

When I had to get my baby out of my bed, I started out sleeping on a pallet on the floor next to his bed. It helped me not worry about not hearing him, and go him used to being without me. Of course, I got tired of that floor real quick, so in less than 2 weeks we were separated, lol.

Glen is 2 and is starting to sleep in his own room. We loved having him in our room. When he turned 1 he slepted on his bed right next to us. Smooshed him up against the wall and he slept like a big boy. Now he is in his own room. Don't worry about what others think about your child sleeping with you. If you and your DH are alright...don't worry about it.

I let Cam sleep with me. I'd love it if he'd sleep in his pack n play right next to the bed but my bed is much more comfortable he's decided. I am going to get him to start sleeping in it soon though and then when dh gets home and we move back to SD he'll be about 6 months and I'll transition him into his own room. I'd be doing the same thing as you! When he was only a few months old I'd wake up all the time to check on him and he was in the basinet right next to me. I say do it on your time, when you're ready.

Madelyn is still in our room. She sleeps in her crib but I'm not ready to have her in another room yet. I want to be able to hear her whenever she wakes up.
