Can someone explain to me the reasons why you Co-Sleep?
We do because it feels so natural to have them with us...I think it must be lonely for them to be in that room all by themsleves cause i know i dont like to sleep aloneI know its not for everyone but its for us
I wish i would have co slept form birth with DS1 cause i would have had so much more sleep...having DS2 in bed form day one has made my life so easy! Plus I want all the cuddles i can get before i am too embarrasing for them
How long you plan on doing it for?
As long as they need the security..Ds1 was sleeping in his own bed but he has come back to my bed because he obviously needs me more now! and he willa gain choose to go to his own room, I wont force him to sleep somehwere that he is not comfortable with!
And if u only have one bub and another one comes along are you planning on having them both share your bed? Yup both share the bed...well DS2 is in his cot which attached to our bed and Ds1 is in the bed!
If not and you plan on moving the older one in their own bed, isn't it cruel to just than "kick" them out? and wouldn't it be harder for them to than adjust to at long last sleeping in their own bed, as opposed to if you had of just stuck it out and perserveed at the start and got them use to sleeping in their own beds?!
Babies are happy when in contact wiht their mummy. The closeness it gives us far outwieghs the need for them to have their own rooms......wish i dint waste all the money on a cot lol! I woild rather my babies sleep with me untill their little brains and hearts are ready to be in their own rooms than force it upon them when they need me most!
But as i said each to thier own...I never co slept with my parents...but i rememebr being so affraid of sleeping alone i would sneak into their room
As for DH we are a family now so it doesnt phase him...we had lots of fun before the kids were born and did still do and we will enjoy our cuddles alone when the kids are bigger....plus DH leaves at midnight so i am all alone lol!
There are some great books that will explain the scientific reasons to co sleep...science of parenting, helping your baby to sleep and many more! and DS1 is definetly more independant. He is a happy smily kid !
Hun your not a bad mummy you just do what is right for your family![]()




I know its not for everyone but its for us
