Aw.... those were such sweet days! And did I ever sleep well
We all slept great. Sure, there was the occasional foot or elbow in the face, but all in all I know I slept better than if I had to worry about what was going on with them so far away in their own room
I'm kind of jealous! I always thought we'd cosleep more than we did.. and I think I slept a lot with my babies from about 4 to 8 months, but after that, somehow, nobody slept well, and they and we did much better with them in their crib for at least some of the night.
Now we are having a bit of a challenge with the 18 month old. I tend to stay awake WAY to late, so that I can feed her right before going to bed (usually around midnight or 1), then if I'm lucky, she'll go till about 4 or 5. My husband grabs her and plops her in bed with me, and until recently, she falls back asleep nursing and stays with us until we get up around 7. But lately, like last night, she'll come in bed at 4, and I half-sleepily realize at 4:45 or so she's still nursing and just going from one breast to the other and never really drifting back off...so she's not really sleeping and neither am I. So then hubby takes her back in her room on the balance ball and gets her back down, because goodness knows, it's not hunger anymore! So I think we are nearing the point of needing to nightwean if this continues -- she's almost capable of understanding from hubby that mommy is sleeping and they'll be more milk in the morning...I hope!
