Cosleeping with my toddler is my favorite thing ever and I never want it to end
We were starting to make some reasonable progress with independent sleep with our then 17 month old, but then I got pregnant and the first trimester symptoms just about killed me (figuratively) 🫠 This of course meant that I was a lot more absent as a parent and our toddler definitely noticed and it affected her sleep. She would wake crying overnight and wouldn’t let dad resettle her anymore so our only option then became having me cosleep with her on her floor bed so that we could all get a full nights sleep with minimal interruption. It’s now been almost 4 months of this and despite me now being out of my first trimester and feeling a lot better, I don’t want to stop cosleeping. It has honestly been the sweetest thing laying with my daughter until she falls asleep and cuddling with her overnight. It’s so obvious that this brings her so much comfort and safety and I don’t want to take that away from her but I know once the newborn comes, it will be exceedingly difficult if I’m still cosleeping with her 🥺
Not sure what I’m looking for here, but I’d love to read all of your cute cosleeping stories, and also any advice on how to manage this with a new baby on the way!
