Just read something on this. If yours is little like mine (3), it’s them looking to you (and your heartbeat, the thing that brought them comfort all their infant life) to help them cope while they develop the skill themselves.
Mine comes to visit between 12-2am most nights and I love the snuggles. I assume she will age out of it eventually and then I’ll miss it so I don’t follow the advice of parents of older kids who have added baby gates to kids rooms or locked the door.
Okay mine is two and going through a big phase like this right now and this just affirmed I’m doing the right thing sleeping with her
How old?
I personally don't force it. They fall asleep in their beds during the week, but anyone who comes over in the middle of the night is welcome to crawl in 😀 I just love not having to get up anymore!
My little ones are 7 and 4. The 4 year old comes over a few times a week, 7 year old much less often, maybe once a week? It doesn't last forever. I'll take my snuggles while I can get them.
No tips....just letting you know you're not alone.
My 10 year old still comes into our bed a few times a week. My 7 year sleeps in her bed and never comes into our bed. I guess it depends!
Can't help you there. My 7 year old son still insists someone sleep next to him. We lay with him in his bed and he eventually wakes up in the middle of the night and makes his way into our bed. This has been happening for a few years. I imagine it'll end once he's 12 or 13 and we will miss it.
I’m glad I’m not the only one! My 7yo also asks for one of us to sleep next to her, and comes into our room in the middle of the night a few times a week. I do enjoy cuddling with her and I know I will miss it.
Mine are teenagers now but we went thru this when they were younger and I tried everything to get them to stop. Rewards, punishments, etc. I wish I could have back all the hours of sleep I lost worrying about getting them out of my bed. I thought it would never end. I worried way too much about it. They sleep fine in their own beds now and have for years.
Do you miss them waiting to snuggle with you, even if just little?
My daughter is 6 years old and still doesn’t sleep through the night. She wakes up, we put her back to bed and then just as we doze off again, she’s back.
We co-slept up until she was around 2 years old (that’s how we got our beauty sleep in). At 2 years old she began sleeping in her cot bed but again would come into our room throughout the night. We then moved her cot bed into our room.
She is now so used to snuggling up next to us, I really do not know how to break this habit (and we are at fault in this too). She is our first and only child And there will come a day that she will not want to snuggle up with us anymore. Whilst it can be exhausting, I wouldn’t change it for the world.
I think knowing the age really helps answer this question. Because I think for a child under three I wouldn't really force it. When my daughter turned four I was able to convince her that she felt happier the next day when she got a good sleep in her own bed. Now she doesn't want to sleep anywhere else.
