And that's why you dont let them sleep to much during the day, the little fucker must sleep during the night.

Everyone should familiarize themselves with the amount of sleep their baby needs at their current age and go from there.

He might cry for an entire hour, but try to make yourself get through it.
Yep. Teaching them to sleep in their own room is incredibly valuable.
Amonrob
My 2.5 yo waltzes in from her own room into ours and does this shit almost every morning. A bad morning is when her 4yo sister joins in.
GravyHavok
Serious question: Why not set boundaries like not coming in if the doors is closed or after a certain time?
The older one knows she’s supposed to wait until a certain time and usually does. Sometimes she even just goes downstairs alone and plays.
veewonroadate
We got a tiny mattress that we keep under our bed for our daughter. if she gets nightmares she still feels safe and can sleep again
You put her under your bed? That’s outstanding!!
It looks like they're in a giant crib that's designed for adults.
StoneofThor
Doesn't always work that way my friend.
Short of not having the space or money to not shared beds/rooms this is entirely the parents fault.
GreySeasAbound
Just because you got lucky doesn't mean other parents suck :)
Children find security and comfort in routines and consistency. Luck has fucking nothing to do with it. What a cop out.
You got lucky your child responded well to whatever you did and it's delusional to think luck has nothing to do with it :) I've seen other

Sure, but you gotta wean them sometime.

Downvoted for speaking the truth ? 30 minutes of this can still be better than having to get up at 5am if that's the alternative...

Or getting up for the 5th time that night. “Not sure if I slept better but at least I was in bed”

I don't know any adults that aren't already getting up at 5AM or earlier for work.
Well I'm sorry, I guess.

Kids are individuals. What worked with the 1st one doesn’t work with the 2nd. Plus the pandemic has sucked for kids worse than adults even.

I laugh at all parents that co sleep with their kids. Unless of course it’s your only option. Just don’t do it. They will fall asleep in -
RoundThreeFIGHT
I'd always be scared of rolling on top of them ?
meskarune
In most cultures and places co-sleeping is normal. Find something actually funny to laugh about.
Snowcean
Isn't that dangerous for the babies?
Not if you don't use western style plush bedding.
Jemmos
My parents, my dad mostly, did it with us on the easy chair. All of us slept on his belly zonked out. I can sorta remember it sometimes.
It's also very dangerous, babies can be smothered without the sleeping adult realizing it.
Dreamsarebetter
Really not true. Kids are individuals. They are all different. I used exactly the same techniques with both of mine but one took to the cot
Fine but the other could never do it. You have to realise that kids are people and people are all different.
I get that and all, but if you try hard enough it will work. My wife and I didn’t sleep for 3 days, baby barely slept those 3 days too—
But after those 3 days of hell trying to get him to sleep in his crib, he did. No problems after that. Same with our second. If you cave —
In and let them sleep with you, they will get hooked. What’s better than sleeping next to food source. Don’t give them the option and -
Their crib eventually. Some just take longer than others
zappka
Letting them cry themselves to sleep is not good for them. You can put them down in their crib after they've gone to sleep
Uh no, you don’t let them cry it out. What you do is lay them down tired but not asleep. And then you say good night and leave.
If they cry you go back in to settle them down and tell them goodnight. You wait a minute before going in again. Then settle them down & say
Night, you just extend the time before you go back in by a minute each time. It works. They just need the reassurance that you’ll come if
I never said let them cry it out, I said don’t co sleep. The longest I’ll let my kid cry is 5 minutes. If he can’t get himself sorted -
In 5 minutes, daddy to the rescue.
pflugerville
5 minute rule. Go in every 5 minutes to calm them down and after about the 4th time, they'll fall asleep without crying themselves to sleep.
Sure. But it shouldn't be used on children under 6 months
That kid aint under 6 months. Its from a book called The Happy Sleeper. The first week or so was rough but we stuck with it and its worked.
UpvoteGenerator
I concur. Breastfeeding is more successful if cosleeping too. Also bonding happens easier as well through cosleeping..
The damage done by 2 or 3 nights of crying is more than offset by the benefits of proper sleep and routine. Not to mention how much better
ThisIsTheBestICanDo
MickeyCallahan
Uh-huh. Yeah. Sure they will. Maybe even yours did. (I don't believe it.)
Its from a booked called The Happy Sleeper. It started out rough but worked after sticking with it.
Crookie281
Parenting is hard enough; don't shame for stuff like this.
Read a fucking book on sleeping. This is not hard. So yeah, I will shame you for this if you whine about it.
Fine, dipshit. Guess I'll shame you for the whole "cry it out" mentality. Your idea of "read a book" is conclusion shopping. Fuck off.
Bitch, I didn’t say shit about “cry it out”. It’s sad that your children are stuck with such a cunt for a parent. Grow up.
BanadecCamberbootch
Honestly, we coslept with all of our kids and didn't really have any issues transitioning them to crib. It was fine, and I miss it :)
Co-sleeping just means sleeping in proximity. It doesn’t have to be in the bed. Our baby slept in a bassinet in our room at first.
Bed sharing is co-sleeping but not all co-sleeping is bed sharing.
Agreed! We have a 7yr old who occasionally still climbs in, and my partner keeps suggesting I bring the 13 month old in with us more.
uhushuhu
What age did you move them to the crib?
Most of them moved out by about 2 or so.
melmboundanddown
I was 29 and 33
I know. There such a special feeling you get from that time. I feel a bit sad that both of mine didn't want to co sleep.
Weren't you afraid of smothering the baby while sleeping? It does happen and causes deaths every year.
Yes and no. Yes because of course you gotta worry, no because I'm a very light sleeper. Also a healthy dose of "won't happen to me" :/
But most smothering deaths like that have many other risk factors. Weight, drugs, etc.
MoreAshyThanLarry
SIDS and suffocation are risks with bed sharing.
Dentistman
From this video it looks more like SPDS!

Isn't that a concern for babies under 1 year? To me this kid looks older
Vorphalack
That’s a misconception. Read this: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20210222-the-unusual-ways-western-parents-raise-children
esopillar34
Horrible thought, but could the high SIDS rate be because other deaths aren't a factor? Like a wealth country has more deaths from "old age"
The article cites research showing cosleeping Pakistani families in the UK have lower SIDS rates than white British families. Check it out.
dschuma
Yeah you're wrong. I personally know someone who gave their kid permanent brain damage because of cosleeping
Read the article. There is less SIDS in countries where co-sleeping is the norm.
Those countries also have lower rates of obesity, I agree in perfect circumstances you're right, but it's disingenuous to leave things out
Risk IS increased according to your reference and other scientific articles if a parent drinks, uses drugs, is obese, or has a bad bed.
It's usually a parent who has been drinking
Or on drugs, or is obese, or isn't on an appropriate bed, etc etc. There are too many requirements to just broadly state that theres no risk
I would be willing to agree that in PERFECT circumstances there probably is no increased risk, but that's unreasonable to assume
Rolled over on him and kept him from breathing for minutes, he lived but he's now mentally handicapped
Curiously, was it the father? Ive read that the baby should sleep between mom and a wall because new moms are so hardwired to wake easily
Yep
