Might this be the end of co-sleeping?
Since Mallory just up and decided to sleep by herself in her own room (November 19) we’ve had one hybrid night, where she came into my room at about 2am, one fallback night where she decided she wanted to sleep in my bed, one night where we had a guest staying over and Mallory and I shared her bed, and one night where we briefly discussed who should come to whose room before we each fell asleep where we were.
End of co-sleeping: the self-teaching method
Mallory announced this evening that she wanted to go to sleep on her own. All by herself. No grown-ups. She insisted.
How I learned to stop worrying and love Dr. Ferber
Last night was possibly the third of Mallory’s almost 18 month life where she didn’t guzzle half a litre or so of breast milk. Yes indeed – we’re doing sleep training.
Does co-sleeping kill? No, but it may drive you nuts
The Globe has an item on an Ontario coroners report that blames co-sleeping for just over half of the ‘sudden unexpected deaths’ of infants in Ontario in 2005. I started sleeping with our daughter Mallory when she was less than a month old. It wasn’t planned – we just discovered she slept far better on our bodies. But now it’s time to stop. Not because of this stupid and (I think) misleading report. Because co-sleeping will drive you nuts.
