Creating bad habits by bed sharing?

Also having a baby in beginning of 2025 so not sure if occasional bed share with her is better or worse

I think you’ve just got to do what works for you. We’ve bed shared on and off with our two year old since he was born. Sometimes we just need sleep, sometimes he’s poorly. But if he’s ok he generally will sleep in his bed. I love the cuddles and know I’ll never get these years back so I don’t mind it. We have a little one due in March 2025 and we will probably use the spare bed so we all have plenty of space if more bed sharing is needed. Obviously we do it all very safely x

we bed shared from around 4 months until 15 months when our daughter started sleeping through in her cot and we moved her into her own room. we still let her into our bed if she wakes through the night. also bed sharing with my 3 week old since day 1. i love it and know they will both not need me to sleep at some point, so i enjoy bed sharing (in the safest way possible) while theyre little. i would try not to worry too much about creating bad habits and do what feels right to you xx

I always said I wouldn’t bed share before our first arrived then before he was 6 months he was suffering with some allergies we didn’t know about then we pretty much have bed shared since then. It was what was easiest for us at the time so we all got sleep. We are moving next week & also have baby number 2 arriving in March so we want to try & transition him to his own bed as we don’t want to move him when the baby is here incase he feels pushed out. It’s a really tricky one & I know it’ll be hard but I think when the baby is here I’d like to get them into their own room. I hope it goes well whatever you decide to do.

We bed share now but only started after he was maybe 14-15 months. We were both too scared to bed share with a tiny baby. We had him in a next to me initially and then a cot in our bedroom. We moved him into his own room for a while but then we went through a sleep regression with lots of split nights and we gave in and started having him sleeping in our bed

We bed share with our little boy and have for around 6 months maybe. We also live in a 1 bed flat so there isn't a seperate room for him to have a bed of his own in. I don't know everyone has their opinions and I too have wondered if he will sleep with us forever more 😂 All our lives, houses, and routines are different. I must say I appreciate the fact he sleeps well so that means we also can sleep. For someone else they will say rod of your own back etc. Each child is different and why make life more difficult then it already is. Let's just all get some sleep and let them in our bed they won't be this little much longer.
