| Babies Sleeping With You Hi Everyone, I'm just wondering when you let your babies sleep in the bed with you? Did you wait until they were fully potty trained or let the sleep with you from the first night?

| Well I let my babies sleep in bed with us but I just started this a few weeks ago. Because I would wake up to pee puddles on the bedroom floor and step in them so I started putting them in our bed since they cant get down. That way I know if they jump down and pee during the night. So in the morning I take them down and go straight outside and they have done fine no accidents in the bed yet and my babies are 2years old, 4months old and 3months old they sleep better in bed then they do in their beds. Plus its nice to have them to snuggle with since hubby wont. Oh I also put up a baby gate at the door so they cant leave the room and wonder at night if they do jump down. Just incase they really have to go potty I have a puppy pad in our bathroom, they do really good with it... So I have a bed full with 3 dogs and 2 cats there is hardly any room for the hubby and me.

| I don't let Gus sleep with us at night. He is so tiny I am scared that I am going to roll over him and hurt him. I didn't even let my human babies sleep with us for fear of the same thing. Gus sleeps in his crate at night. As long as he's next to me, he's fine.

| I admit it... I was very naughty and let both boys sleep with us from day 1. Neither has ever had an accident. Both would sleep right next to my head and I would wake up and take them out every time they moved... Now they sleep in different areas of the bed and know to start walking on me when they need to go out... This morning it was at 5am... not fun when I don't go to bed until 2am |

| Brutus has never slept with us and he never will. I like that he has his own space with his bed and stuff. Plus my bed is so high you need a step stool to get on it!

| My Teddy has slept with me since day one. He is actually so spoiled that he refuses to go to sleep period unless I am there with him. I also have had good luck going that route because he also comes and wakes us up when he needs to do his business. And is there anyway better to be woken up in the morning other than with puppy kisses!

| Tuck was in my bed from day one with only one or two accidents until he figured out how to navigate his pillow ramp down to the floor and his litter box. Love the litter box!!!!! Dana |

| BTW, do you think letting them sleep with you will have an affect of how they feel about their crate.. for instance, i am afriad if lily gets too attached, when i go back to work in september, i am afriad she will hate the crate.. I just thought i'd ask others opinions

| Tilly & sami both slept in bed with me the very first day I brought each one home I didn't have the heart to make Sami sleep in a grate I only use the crate for traveling only! although the crate is in my bedroom, sami uses it to play in or take his greenie there so tilly wont take it from him. they both were not potty trained, I just took them outside in the middle of the night. sami always woke me up I never worried about rolling on him And if you had ever put your infant in bed with you to nurse and feel asleep It's kinda of the same when you have an infant you have to have an ear & eye open. but now sami will go out the doggy door but in the wee morning he will use his pee pad, I now only use the peepad at night time! trying to discourage him from using it all togeather |

| Yea, we let Bodhi sleep with us after a while. But, man, did I wake up with a sore neck and back for the longest time. Why? Because he'd get into the middle of the bed and I just couldn't bring myself to wake him up to move him. I'd end up sleeping on the edge and in one position all night so that I wouldn't roll on him. Hubby sleeps like a log and doesn't move at all, so he wasn't bothered. Lucky him, heh. Bodhi learned to sleep on the other side of hubby because I decided it's natural for me to make like a rotisserie chicken no matter who I wake. I'm always changing sleep position, ha ha. |

| I didn't let Tuffy sleep with us until he was fully potty trained and reliable. I also felt with him that he would act up if he was allowed to sleep with us from day one. He is the type to think since he's up on the bed sleeping with the rest of the pack (me and my husband) that he could do whatever he wanted. Pixie doesn't sleep with us yet.. I'm still waiting for her to be fully potty trained before we take that leap. She did sleep with me while we were staying at my parent's house and she did great so she may be ready to come sleep with us now. The only problem she has is that if I get up to go to the bathroom she'll want to jump out of the bed or will be standing on my pillow when I get back and it's hard to see her sometimes.
