Looks like your babies won round 1. Yes they will whine, but you just have to ignore them if you don't want them to learn that that is all they have to do.
All five of mine used to sleep with me. Miko, my oldest slept with my hubby and I since day one, when we got #5 it began to become a problem. They would all sleep around me, they didn't bother my hubby at all, one at my feet, 2 at my stomach, 1 in my back and Prissie on my head, across my neck, just anywhere around the head area. It got to where I couldn't move an inch all night, needless to say I would wake up with neck or back aches, so I had to make a change. It was hard for the first week, then they got used to it. Miko is 6 now and they have been sleeping in their own room for about a year and a half.
Also, I never worried about them falling off, Might slept on my backside which was the end of the bed and he never fell off.
Good Luck! |
