I'm not sure if you are still looking for advice, but I have experience with it... My 8 yr old stayed in the
bed with me (and hubby) since day 1, when I
got pregnant with my second when he was 16 mths old, we set up his room with a toddler
bed (he could
get out of his playpen since 9 mths un-assisted, and never had a crib) so we made sure it was fun and playful and gave him that option, we also set up a separate cot beside out
bed, so he could be with us still (I was not
comfortable being pregnant with a toddler and hubby in
bed then, knowing I would have a baby soon) since I was pregnant I was able to talk about it to him and explain why he was going to have to one day move to his own
bed (in our room or his) by the time I had the baby he was starting the nights in his own
bed and if he woke up he would come
into his cot beside our
bed... I let him continue like that as long as he wanted, it took time but I did not push him at all, same with breast feeding I let him make the choice... when I left my hubby (now ex) the boys were both big enough (2 and 4 yrs) for me to be
comfortable with them both in
bed with me, and I was still nursing my younger one until he was around 3.5 yrs old, so we just had a big
bed with us all piled in, I miss those days so much: (so how did I finally
get them both out of my
bed?
Instead of circling around a room to find the most
comfortable spot on the floor, these days more pets are nuzzling
into a
bed of their own to
get a good night's sleep; and with more dogs catching some shut - eye in a
bed specifically designed for them, demand for pet
beds — particularly those made with eco-friendly materials — is on the rise.
It's the type of place that makes you want to loll around all day with your feet up and a good book — but don't call it rustic: «We gave top priority to
getting comfortable beds and pure cotton
bedding — there's nothing like that feel - ing of falling
into a fresh, beautifully made
bed after spending a day at the beach,» says Kevin.
