If we had a king size bed though I would have been more apt to cosleep for a longer period of time.
No kidding. I seriously don't know how parents can co-sleep in less than a king size bed. My hubby and I are large but not obese, and when Jimmy's in bed with us, we can't move much.
So, I have to stick my foot in my mouth from another thread. Jimmy crawled off the bed yesterday. I had the baby monitor on, but we weren't fast enough. He was fine because our boxspring is on the floor, not on a frame, so it wasn't a big fall, but still, my heart hurt. So, I shoved the missing side of the crib between the bed and crib just for now to buy me some more time. He can pull up on it, but he can't get himself over it yet. Soon, I'll have to actually attched the missing side back onto the crib and then no more co-sleeping.  That is, if I have enough energy to actually put him back when he's done nursing. Right now, I don't even have to get up, I just roll him back into his own bed from our bed.
Timmy started singing. He did it for a little bit then stopped for some reason. But, he actually doesn't sing, he yells the last syllable of every line. It is hilarious! I'll try to get him on video soon.

Yeah, I slept most nights in the guest bed just because neither my hubby nor I were comfortable with all three of us in our queen size bed together. I am going to make sure one way or another we are keeping that bed when we have the next baby. It was so nice having a another bed to get into and hubby was much happier not having to sleep on a couch.

I think if Gabby had demanded that we cosleep then I would have bought one of the Arms Reach cosleepers, I couldn't have slept away from Micah for that long.

Christina....how far off the floor is your bed? If he's big enough to crawl off of it he's big enough to teach how to get down on his belly and slide off safely. I have taught all of mine at that stage....once they were crawling I taught them that one.
We found out the hard way when ds #3 learned to crawl - he hadn't crawled prior to this event. He was asleep on our bed (dh was in the basement, and I was on the bed beside ds, reading with dd). I *really* had to use the bathroom, so I left ds sleeping, and dd reading her book on our bed. Ds woke up and saw the dog on the floor at the end of the bed ... just up and started crawling to her ... ended up falling off the bed and hitting his head on the night table. A trip to the ER and four staples later ... aargh!) He decided after that crawling was painful -- and waited another month and up and walked.

I can't even co-sleep with my dh in anything less than a king-size bed, so I don't know how anyone can manage a baby in there too! I found a king-size bed too small for co-sleeping with a baby (but then again I can't sleep with any part of my body touching anyone else, dh or baby!)

Sarah, our bed is 15 inches off the floor. Not a big fall. I think if Jimmy was more skilled, I might be able to teach him to get off the bed, but he has no balance at all. He might land on his feet, but then he'd fall straight back onto his back.

It is an important skill. And if his feet hit the floor before his head, that is going to take some of the force away. Plus, this is the best way to get off the couch, down stairs, etc-and mobile babies need to know that. He may not be proficient at first but you'll be glad later on that he had been practicing.

yup!!!
You're probably right. Our bed is actually not on a frame, it's a mattress on a boxspring on the floor.
I don't think my hubby will go for it though. He was ready to attach the side of crib back on, but I talked him out of it by showing him how Jimmy can't get over the rail when it's on the floor wedged between the beds. I'll have to take a picture. It's kinda hard to explain.

I thought I had a good sleeper to report, as Biruk slept Monday night 9pm-8am, only waking once at 5.30 to eat. But last night he was up all night, completely bonkers, crawling all over us, refusing to nurse, etc. 
**25****30****35****40 
If he'd turned around before climbing down he'd have been hurt badly.
