When I was younger my mum co-slept with me, it resulted in me being petrified of sleeping alone until i was about 13 years old ...
This has been my #1 reason for avoiding co-sleeping , that and the fact that Aneta usually sleeps all night in her cot no problems.If she ever awoke during the night id just rock her back to sleep .
However lately instead of rocking ive been taking her into bed with me - and ive got to say that i love it. I love that i can have her so close to me , i love how i feel she is so safe , some nights i just lay there and watch her sleep - its really quite moving plus , she somehow manages to sleep an hour or 2 longer if its with me
My 1st question is : do you worry about the consequences of co-sleeping when the child is older? ( ie: they will become as attached as i did to my mum , and not want to sleep alone or in another bedroom )
2nd question - how do YOU co-sleep? I mean at the moment we have a single bed in Aneta's room and we taketurns sleeping in there. But as of next week the 3 of us will be living in one bedroom , there isnt exactly much room on a double bed for a baby aswell. Do you "get rid " ( lol ) of your partner , or do you manage to share the bed with partner and baby aswell ??
