What do you all think of it?

I co-sleep, probably will for a while because my daughter simply isn't ready for her own bed yet.

My kids don't give me a choice. but it is hard for me to sleep with the 3 of them.

If it works for you go for it.

When I was pregnant, I always so adament that I would never co-sleep.. However, My little Carolena had a plan of her own. Since day 1 we've been co-sleeping. She absolutely refused to sleep anywhere else (Crib, Bassinet, Bouncer, Swing, Car seat, Co-sleeper.. You name it.. didn't work). She is now 3 months and I love co-sleeping.. I honestly think I'd miss her like crazy if she slept in her crib now.. lol She needs me, and I need her.

I have a 6 month old that I currenlty co sleep with. At 3 months I decided it was time for her to be in her crib and i spent the whole time awake, lying in my bed a lone listening to her breathe. I wasn't ready to let her go. Now though it's a different story and i am ready for her to be in her crib (her sleeping is interupting my sleeping). So, if it works for you it's great (especially if you're breastfeeding -it makes it so easy). But if it's not working it's time for a change.

OK, Ian, is almost 5 now...He slept a lot in my bed when he was breastfed (in the night as well), just because that was easier for me, and we both love it.
Looking back...that was certainly one reason he never learned to sleep through the night until he was 1 year old. But then again..didn't have all those choices, since his bed was in my bedroom anyways (we only had the one bedroom).

I don't think it's bad in any way, especially if your child is afraid, or other good reasons. The only thing that's hard, is when it becomes a habit, to break the habit. And after 2 or 3 nights in a row, for the child, it's already a habit.

So, I'll say that I love it when my son wants to sleep in my bed, but I don't want him to think this is 'his place to sleep'. It remains an exception.

I co-sleep with Kai. Have since she was born. Of course, she has her own bed but since it's not really that big of a problem and I'm more working on potty training now anyway, it can go a little longer. It's kind of nice though having a little heater in bed with me. Saves on the heating bills. LMAO

bug....your precious....ray man

Hey I try. LMAO I dont think co-sleeping is a bad thing but I do think it's going to be hard to break. More for me than her I think. I hate to admit this but I dont want to sleep alone. that's part of the reason I'm prolonging this. I dont sleep well when she's in her own bed

My girls co-sleep in my bed. Brenna my oldest hating her crib and basinett. She would only sleep right on my chest and that's how it started. When Bridget was born I swore that I she would sleep in her own bed. She did for a long time but now sleeps in my bed. I am actually in the process of breaking them of this habit.

Part of me can't wait to have my bed all to myself and the other part will miss not having them in it.

I'm like many parents here, the co-sleeping started way back with the breastfeeding. By the time she turned four, I was concerned that I'd have a kid in my bed for the rest of my life! I started making deals with myself "Next birthday...After she gets a big girl bed...When summer starts..." But I kept making excuses to avoid efforts to kick her out of my bed. I can totally identify with not wanting to sleep alone. And I was totally avoiding the struggle that I knew it would be. But one day, a few months ago, she decided (all on her own) that she preferred to sleep in her own bed.
Whew!

I always wondered about taping and amplifying the mothers heartbeat for babies that had sleep problems,and see if they connect on a level that we have to think about but that they might understand....theories and questions......raymond

Raymond, I think there's some research on that already but not sure.

Jewel and I co-sleep most nights (of course this week she decided to sleep in her own room). It doesn't matter to me either way..I kind of like having her with me. If I were married, I may feel differently, but since I have no one else to share my bed with...why not??

I feel the same way. My 6 month old sleeps with me most nights and I love it. I nurse her to sleep when she's fussy and get to cuddle all night long. Most of the time I put her in her crib in the middlw of the night so I can get a few good hours of sleep though becuase I do find myself just laying there awake all night enjoying the feeling of having her nestled up against me. She was going to bed on her own up until about 2 months ago but I missed her so I started letting her eat her last meal in bed and now I'm stuck on it! I love it!

Yeah, I'm pretty not still not worrying about the co-sleeping thing. So far it's working for us and that's just how its going to be for now. I ignore people when the comment about it. She will go to her own bed soon, but for now, this works. Nothing wrong with that I guess.
