co sleeping

My son is cosleeping at age 3. And i have another baby due in a few months. We are planning on moving my first son into his own bed so that we have night nursing made eaiser. I never gave it two thoughts about co sleeping. it was nicer easier, and my son was right at hand whenever he was hungry, thirsty, had a nightmare ect. I enjoy it. But sometimes i would like my own bed back lol.

In our country, kids really co sleeps with the parents. And I don't like the idea that I'm not sleeping my kids. My 5 month old baby is sleeping between me and my hubby.

As is my answer for just about everything, I think it depends on the family, and what works for them. What works for you may not work for the family next door, and vice versa. If you agree with it, do it, if you don't then don't!! It's not your business what they do, and it's not their business what you do, just do what you need to, as long as no one is getting hurt.

My five month old sleeps with us

I honestly don't think it is a good thing for your kids to sleep with you unless they are sick or having problems of some sort. I think it can get to be a habit, then how can you and your husband have private time together. When my husband had to be gone to Desert Storm I let my daughter, the only child we had at the time, sleep with me while he was gone. Since she is part of both of us I wanted her close to me while he was gone. My mother and my mother-in-law both told me I was making a mistake, that she wouldn't want to go back to her bed when my husband came back home. I knew that was a possibility I would have to deal with. The night before he came back home after his tour of duty I had a talk with my daughter and told her that her daddy would be coming home the next day so she would have to sleep in her bed. I put her to bed in her room that night so she could start getting used to it again. She woke me up the next morning standing by my bed grinning at me!! It was so precious!! That night after her daddy got home she slept in her room with no problem, I just reminded her of the talk I had given her earlier. The only time that she came and got in the bed with us was not that night he first came home, but the next night. She woke me up crawling in bed with us. I was too tired to say anything at that point. The next day, however, I just reminded her again of the talk we had had and it never happened again. She was five years old at the time. We have a son also but he has never slept with us unless he was sick and that hasn't happened very often.

I think it shouldn't be practised. Sure if kid is ill or scared, but not normal nights not. I think it would just mess up the relations with husband and wife.

I co sleep with my kids. It's a bad habit! My daughter is 4 and sleeps with me still! And my son use to sleep with us in our bed, but he kind of just rolls all over the place, so we got him a toddler bed and put it at the end of our bed, so we are all still together. LOL!

I have co slept with both of my girls and will do so with this baby that comes in Oct. Both of my girls were lonely babies. They couldn't fall asleep in the hospital bassinet because it was so far away from me. So I started letting them sleep in bed with me at the hospital. I never got in trouble because I would make sure that all 4 railings were up and make sure that I had pillows all aroundthe bed so that they couldn't fall out. The only time I got in trouble I was in the hospital to have surgery and my hubby couldn't get my oldest to fall asleep and she was having "Mommy withdrawls" and so I ended up with her at the hospital almost the entire time I was there and one of the night nurses raised a stink until I informed her that this is how we have been sleeping ever since she was born and she couldn't get out of the bed because at that time she couldn't even crawl yet let alone stand up. I am a big supporter of co sleeping and it doesn't matter how heavy of a sleeper Mom is you will always wake up whenever they move or make a sound.
