Cobwebs are the new black!
Between 6 and 12 months. Though my 3yo tend to get up at about 5am and join me in bed.

At 18 months we had to put him in a cot as he was waking up, climbing out of bed and going to play.

My daughter moved to a matress on our floor when she was 6ish, then to her own bed at 11 years old, neither was by her own choice though and she often still sleeps on my bedroom floor.

My son is almost 7 and still co sleeping. I don't think he'll get out till I make him either.

ETA Both of them have done short stretches of time in their own beds, but it never lasts long.

Willow was a bit over 2 when she moved into her own room.

Dexie has gone in and out, he wanted to be on his own at a much younger age, then for quite some time he would come in at about 3am and spend the rest of the morning with us.

The only thing that stops me from having them in bed with more more often is that my back is not what it used to be and they are a bit bigger now! Too big to carry up the steps.

My 14 yo dd still comes into my bed every now and then for a cuddle and my 8, 4.5 and 3 year old usually come in around midnight. It makes for a very squished bed but i love the snuggles original.gif my 2 boys ( 11 and 13 ) have been in their own beds since about 4. Their choice.

Oh dear. 5? 7? 11?

DD is only 22 months but I keep telling myself she'll sleep alone soon... Or, not, by the sounds of it!

My youngest is the longest. He's heading to 4 and will not shift from our king size bed. We have done up his room, moved his bed into our room, now DH sleeps in DS's bed because DS will not, and he moves like a windmill through the night.
I love co sleeping but this one is by far the longest. I wouldn't mind. I don't mind DH sleeping elsewhere either, but DS kicks me in the head. His feet have a magnetic attraction to my head. And he hates covers, even when it's cold. I can't wait till he decide its time to get into his bed. We certainly can't convince him.

I actually would like to sleep with my husband again. But our big 3 yr old pushes us both to the edges of the bed.

My sister was about ten when she finally moved into her own bed. And even at that age, it was a lot of drama and bribery. I think she got a stereo out of the deal. Lol.
