Do your babies sleep with you??

How old are most babies before they can hold it through the night?

We let Kissy sleep with us when she was the only "child". I didn't realize that i wasn't sleeping as well as i needed to as i was always conscious of where she was so she didn't get smooshed. When #2 came along, that was it for me. I got those Pet Gear soft crates and they each had their own. Kissy fussed a little bit as she had slept with us for 5 years. When #3, #4, & #5 arrived, i just kept adding crates. They are all lined up beside my bed now and each has their own little bedroom. They know their own crate and run to get in them each night. they have lots of little blankies in each one where they can build their nests each night. They all get zipped up and go to sleep. In the mornings, DH unzips them and they all run outside to potty. We only allow them on the bed to cuddle and play until it is time for sleep. This works for us and we are getting better sleep now that we don't have to worry about rolling over on any of them. Naps are different as they are allowed up there on those rare occasions and they all have their little spot where they curl up.
Here is a picture of their little crate train.

When we got zeke 6 years ago he refused his crate, so the bed was it. Now he feels its his bed and just shares. And sometimes not to well. So when we got Baxter, a crate came home, and that is where he has been sleeping since day one. He is allowed on all the furniture during the day, but nite time, they go out, and I call them in and tell them they get a bed time snack. Baxter runs to his crate, jumps in and waits for his treat. Then he lays down and is good for the night.

Our Koda sleeps with us every night since he was about 4 months. He loves being with us. But really, it's up to you and what works for your family.

It took Koda 3-4 months. You might want to have a pee-pad around when you first get started, just in case. Koda can hold it through the night and usually wakes up when I do. So I just let him out in the morning, right when we wake up.

Yep, both our boys sleep with us...they are so cuddly, I love it.

Stormy sleeps in the bed with us, either on my pillow, inbetween us or on hubby's chest

Jackson has slept with me since he was 15 weeks old. I personally do not believe it
causes any issues. Jackson is a well behaved dog and pretty obedient (minus a major
begging problem!) most of the time so I don't think sleeping in my bed makes him bad.
My whole family has always had the dogs in their bed, my parents, my grandparents, my
aunts and uncles. It's just how it is. lol

Once Roxie and Ryder were both 4 months they have slept in our bed. They behave just fine!

I love it! My hubby is gone 5 days and home for 2 and on the two he is home he has a hard time sleeping- he gets scared hes going to smush them. So they sleep together in their pen on those 2 nights, I wish we had our own crate train!
