Where do you have your baby sleep at? For the first few weeks, my son slept in a basinet in our room, then we transferred him to his crib where he is now. Where do yours sleep?

They are currently sharing a room, my children have always shared rooms with each other.

We did the same thing, after the basinet we moved her into a crib in her own room. It worked pretty well

I think they should start out in their crib. Its gets them used to their surroundings right away. It makes them comfortable with their space. If you start them out in a bassinet in another room, then you take them away from those familiar surroundings and put them in a whole different room and different bed where they have to basically start over. I think it's a better idea to just have a really good baby monitor and start them off sleeping in their own room.

The children's room is down the hall from ours. We will buy cribs that convert to toddler beds. That's the only way we will be able to accommodate two children between 0-5 at any one time.

My daughter always had her own room. She slept in a basinet for the first two weeks, but quickly moved to her crib. She slept in the same room for 18 years.

First month with both son in 2002 and girl last year, on my chest for the first 15 minutes, then into a crib or a bassinet. Once in awhile I was tired, and we ended up 'napping' the entire time with child on my chest, but that quickly stopped when they started to gain weight. :)

My son took to a crib right away, my girl took about a month then was set in her crib and has had no issues since (she has been sleeping through the night 10/hrs since she was 5 weeks).

I've coslept with my son since we brought him home from the hospital. He still sleeps with me now. I can't wait to get him his own room, but I'm not going to rush him out and in to his own bed. I'll let him move on his own comfortable pace. And hope he doesn't move to fast.

What am I gonna do when he's 20 and I want NOTHING else in this world than to hold him, stroke his hair, kiss his forehead, and sing under my breath to him? :(

Son sleeps with me right now, born end of May - he is still quite tiny and this is my first baby to spoil. :)

my kids slept in their own beds. It's just too dangerous a risk of rolling on them. And they need to learn to sleep on their own anyway. I needed my space. It isn't healthy for a kid to be so attached to their parent. They will grow up to be very dependent and mom will get no personal space.

Those of you who have your babies sleeping in the bed with you, aren't you ever afraid you or your spouse will roll over onto them while you're sleeping? My husband tends to toss and turn a lot. A baby in between us likely wouldn't survive the night. Do you guys not change positions during the night?

I used to toss and turn and stuff all the time. But when my son came home that stopped. I am so aware of him in bed that a yawn from him will open my eyes. I was never afraid of his dad rolling on him because he would have had to roll over ME to roll over the baby. Infants like to feel part of their mother. So that was never a problem.

Keep in mind that we were designed by nature to practically be one with our young. She took steps with our mother instinct to see to the preservation of the baby. I even saw an article somewhere recently that said a mothers breath contained some kind of hormone to REGULATE THE CHILDS BREATHING as they slept. lol

Since the beginning of time we've slept with our babies. The human race persisted. Probably because mother nature is smarter than we give her credit for.

Of course, bear in mind, mankind thwarts her to a degree that you have to take things in to consideration. Like do you take drugs that alter your sleep patterns? I refused to take sleeping aids (and still do) that my doctors have strongly suggested because I do not sleep very restfully. I never drank when my son was very small, and now I drink very rarely (but he's 3 and I'm absolutely unafraid of smothering him). Also when I drink I don't drink to a point of hard sleep like I used to (before pregnancy). So things like that need to be considered, because they can make it less safe. But otherwise, I had a little brother die of crib death, in a crib, alone. I'm far more aware of my babies movements, breathing, and needs when he's with me. So no, I was never scared of rolling on him, or of his dad rolling on him. I would never ever take it back and do it differently.
