So I've come to realize that 15 mo DS (or is he 16 mo now? 
) sleeps much better alone in his crib in a separate room down the hall. We kind of discovered this by accident because I was hospitalized for a week recently and DH spent the nights at the hospital with me. DS stayed at home with grandma and they both slept in the spare room which doubles as a nursery that was hardly used until now. She didn't feel comfortable with him in bed with her and he slept just fine in the crib.
When I got home, I was still really weak for the first few nights and I was afraid that I might still be contageous (I had a baaad gastro bug) so DS stayed in the crib. He slept solidly through the night, no tossing and turning, no wimpering, no waking up to play at all hours. We brought him back into bed with us a few nights later and he went right back to his old tricks. I had thought that he was a decent sleeper but now I realize just how restless he is when he's in bed with us compared to alone in his crib.
I'm not really sure why I'm posting this...I don't have a question really. Just need to express how sad I am about this. I absolutely love bedsharing and so does DH. We were hoping that DS would want to sleep with us for a long time but I think it would be best for him if just we let him be in his crib.

So shes sleeps in her little fisherprice newborn cradle right next to my side but I nap with her in the daytime when there is no loose beging or others in with me ect.. I feel safer but I also watch her and count the hours till I can steal a nap with me right next to me.
