Well Rhys has slept with us since he was 2 weeks old, hes now 2yrs and 9months old and we think its time to stop co-sleeping. We've tried several times over the past 2 years but we've never felt it was right, Rhys hated being away from us and we hated him not being in our bed.
We recently finished our attic conversion and bought a new bed to make the attic our new bedroom. We decided to give Rhys our old bed since he has slept in it since he was 2 weeks old and we have made our old bedroom into rhys' new room.
So on friday we bought a new bed and put it together, we explained to Rhys that it was mummy and daddys bed and that Rhys' bed was in his bedroom.
When he fell asleep on the couch on friday night (thats what hes always done) we put him in his own bed. he woke up at 4.30am and Colin went to comfort him, he stayed there until morning.
On saturday night i wanted to bring him into our bed so bad but i didnt and put him in his bed. he lasted until 3.30am and colin went to comfort him, he stayed with him till morning.
On sunday night i put rhys in his bed and he lasted until 6.30am, this time he didnt cry but just came downstairs in a good mood (i was already up with ffion)
On monday night (lastnight) he lasted until 6.45am, i was still in bed when he woke up and he shouted for me to come and cuddle him. i went to his bed and we cuddled and read a book.
he hasnt really missed being in our bed which has upset me but i know that its the right time for us to kick the habit.
so after 2yrs and 9mo of co-sleeping.. its over
