Those who co-sleep with baby???

When and how did you get your child to their own bed? My son was born premature and came home on an apnea monitor because he had sleep apnea and I was so scared to be far away from him so he slept in my bed next to me so I could be right there when he stopped breathing. Once the monitor went away, I was scared that he would stop breathing so he still slept in my bed. When he was about 10 months he went to his crib and everything was fine until he got really sick. Then he started sleeping in my bed again. He has been sleeping with me for about 9 months now. I want him out of our bed, my poor hubby has to sleep on the couch since my son is a very active sleeper. I bought him a big boy bed but he won't stay in it at night?

So, what age did you "kick" your child out of your bed :) ? And how did you do it?

Well our 2 yr old is still in our room, but now in his own bed... He was in our bed when tiny, then moved him into a cot (was taking naps in the day in it) he started to climb out his cot at 15mths, so we took the side off his cot & tethered it to our bed... We finally afforded a bed about 5mths ago!!

He does still come into ours if ill or at around 5 am when he wants to get up!! Lol!!
