anyone else doing the continuum concept???

[Heather.78]

just a question the only part I cant do is the baby in bed bit it worries me so much she is so close to me though in the moses basket, does anyone co sleep with there babies? otherwise shes settled into it soooooooooo well loves being carried all the time and so contented

 

[Whisper]

No i'm not sorry but i did watch a programme about it and was very interested, it just for me felt a bit intense and as with you i couldn't do the co-sleeping.

I hope everything continues to go well for you.

Sorry i couldn't answer your question

One of my good friends follows this concept. The only way the night time works for her is that her OH now sleeps in the spare room and she and her little girl have the double bed. She doesnt have Amber in the moses basket, she has her lying next to her and when amber needs to feed she just latches herself on in the night and my friend doesnt even have to wake up!

she said its great apart from her relationship is a little strained now!
But i have to admit I havent ever met a more contented baby as hers, shes same age as lily and never even winges a little! Oh and is still very independant.

I don't know it but I do co-sleep and it is wonderful. Wouldn't be able to do it with someone else in the bed though x

I co-sleep and my husband also sleeps in same bed.I use a sling to carry him and I breastfeed 100%.When he cries I pick him up and holds him as long as he wants to be held.It's actually better known as 'attachment parenting' which was articulated originally by Dr.Sears.I follow all of it and I love it!

I couldn't sleep all night with her, id be too worried. But on nights when she has been super upset or uncomfortable me or OH have brought her in with us for a bit. We nap together n the day too

 

[mrsholmes]

wih the carrier/ co -sleeping has anyone had problems when the LO gets older never wanting to be put down or sleep on their own?

 

[welshcakes79]

When Rhiannon was new born up untill the age of 3-4 months (cant remember which) she slept in her moses basket which was glued to the side of my bed because i was all for the "im not co-sleeping its a bad habit blah blah blah" and i thought she was to tiny to be in bed with me in case i rolled over her then when she started sleeping through the night i guess i just liked having her next to me and have co-slept ever since, and now she is bigger and can roll away from me ( or too me which is more often the case ) i love it, that said, im getting her a new bigger cot this weekend so from sunday on she wont be co-sleeping with me & at the same time x

 

[KarenLV]

Will the new cot still be in your room? I will be doing that too when Skyler is about 9/10months old.

I agree, its not for me!!

Plus, I wold hate to have to eventually break the habit!!!! My niece, who is 3 still co sleeps, which means my bro and sil never get to sleep in the same bed!! I would hate that!!!

I feel much happier knowing my ds is safely in his basket beside me.

I think that co-sleeping can work really well as long as you move them out of your bed at the right time. We started moving Kaya out at about 9 months, starting by putting her in her own bed until we went to bed, then she could come in with us. Then at 11 months we started leaving her in her own room all night (though I usually get in with her at 4/5am for an early morning feed when we both fall asleep). It's made for a fair few sleepless nights, but we're getting there and she's only waking 1 or 2 times in the night.

I've not read the Continum concept, but I did read 3 In The Bed and agreed with a lot of it - though there's a lot I don't agree with. I think the Sears are great and a bit more flexible.
