What part of co sleeping dont you understand??!!!

[lilima]

Maz - It's jsut whatever gets you through the night. Don't they get it??!! If you do put them upstairs, chances are that during the night they will get up and won't be able to find you, or worse - fall down the stairs!
Gosh - you would love my mum - she is all for it. In fact when the kids stay at her house, she DELIBERATELY puts them in with her for the night!

My mum was belittled by her MIL for sleeping with us, not letting us CIO, bottle feeding us (she had severe mastitis and was told to suck it up)

That is why she would never question anyones parenting choices. She is now a very popular babysitter as everyone knows she will listen to the parents and respect their wishes.

Good luck

We are part time co-sleepers. DD usually starts out in her cot but ends up in our bed and takes up OVER 1/2. I honestly think she gets a little edgy being so closed in... However - I love co-sleeping, she sleeps, I sleep, DF sleeps - yay for sleeping!
It drives me batty when people hear that we co-sleep and feel the need to "convert" us. Whatever. Shall I tell you I don't believe in God too?? Oh let's get this party started!!!
We no longer see the IL's - thank god!
I thought we were supposed to be tolerant of peoples belief's and customs?

Ok, off my soap box.

Ah, I feel your pain!

We're going home in a month and staying with my parents and my mum said "don't worry I'll buy a travel cot" and I said, "don't worry, she'll be sleeping with us" and my mum said "not in my house she won't" (WTF????). So I said "we'll stay somewhere else then".

That shut her up good and proper.

OMG Sue !!! Good on you. Why do people think that they can control you and your children. We co sleep too!!!! DS1 co slept, DS2 did not, DD1 did not either and now DS3 co sleeps as well!!!!! So it just depends for us obviously and it is probably just what ever is easiest for us, but no body has the right to deciede on how you sleep, feed etc!!!!!!! Good on you for sticking up for your self!!!!

I too feel a littel bit embarrassed when people ask where he sleeps, i don't know why!!!!!!

Sue, you used to be such a nice girl. You've gone all feral since hanging out down under! Breastfeeding, co-sleeping, soon you will be wearing those baby carrier things too....oh too late!
