Everyone always said to me to never let them in the bed or you'd never get them out. But I figure I have the pleasure of sleeping with someone at night who makes me feel safe, why not bubs too? I used to hate sleeping alone all the time!!! But at the end of the day, nothing else worked for us (as you would have read, even two miserable weeks of sleep school where they used CC) so co-sleeping is what we did to get any sleep, we just happened to enjoy it immensely too which was a bonus.

Marisa went into her own bed at 2, still sometimes she pops in usually when sick or when she has nightmares, but she loves her room which has our old queen size bed in it - so she literaly sleeps like a queen! Just because you co-sleep, it doesn't mean they will not want to get out. If you make it a gradual transition it will help and make it exciting to have their own room decked out with their fave toys, colours, decorations etc. Then again, I know some children that don't like to co-sleep and like to be in their own rooms, in the dark with the door shut - even when mum wanted to co-sleep!!! So you never know what these gorgeous little bundles have in mind for us.

As Pinky always says (something along the lines of!), 'yes my children were in the bed with me when they were little but now they are grown up and I have no idea who's bed they are in but it's not mine!!!'

To me, there's nothing better than snuggling up with my gorgeous girl (or boy!) for snuggly cuddles - and now there are those times when there are four in the bed!!! I will sure miss it when they are older.
