What are your opinions on co sleeping? Did you or do you do it with your baby?

All through my pregnancy i was adamant that i wouldnt co sleep as i felt it would encourage bad sleeping habits later on in life for my daughter but when she was born i was so exhausted that i co slept with her for the first month or two of her life. I then moved her into a cot in her own room at 3 months and have never had a problem. She still sleeps in with me if she has a bad night which is maybe once a fortnight, and she gets into bed with me at 7.30am to watch some tv and have a cuddle when her father goes to work.

I think co sleeping is a lot more common than many people think.

I don't ever do co-sleeping because of the danger of cot death. Sadly that happens to some babies and nobody knows why in most cases. The safest place for a baby of 0 to 6 months to sleep is in a moses basket, crib or cot in his or her parent's bedroom. My baby is six weeks old and at night she sleeps in a moses basket in my bedroom.

My sister had four children and she has done co-sleeping with all of them. They are healthy and happy children. Her youngest is now 3 years old so she sleeps in her own bed. She has found it easier to care for her babies that way. When older she moved each one to their own bedroom.

You can buy special little beds now that you can put in your own bed called snuggle nests, have you seen those? I honestly didnt want to co sleep but she was such a demanding newborn if i didnt i wouldnt have got any sleep at all. I think especially if you breastfeed co sleeping can be easier. Thanks for your input:)

i co-slept with all 3 of my kids....my youngest still sleeps with me...if you look up the benefits of co-sleeping there are many benefits than risks....it actually helps reduce the risk of sids as well. when my kids get older they're not gonna wanna lay or cuddle wit their mama so i gotta get it while i can and cherish it....i think it helps keep us close as well. co-sleeping was the norm many many years ago before cribs were invented so i don't see why some consider it "not normal" anymore! i do realize it's not for everyone...but it is for me n hubby we definitely don't mind it! were just gonna enjoy it while it lasts!

I think cosleeping is a lot more common than people will admit to as well. I think we all say we won't do it, but when it is 3:00 in the morning and the baby is not sleeping, well, things change. I had a co-sleeper attachment for my bed. It was great! It hooked onto my mattress and was like a bassinet for the baby but still right next to me. I felt safe with that option, yet I didn't have to get completely out of bed every time the baby needed me.

I have seen those attachment things before and think they are really cool, its a shame i didnt see them until it was too late though and my daughter was in her own room.

I have a 13 year old and a 3 year old. I made the mistake to let the13 year old sleep with me. Then she got a bit older and i started dating and it was very hard to explain to her she could not sleep with mommy any more. She was crushed. Now my 3 year old I promised my self I wouldn't do the same. But about a year or so he was very sick and i wanted to keep a good eye on him. So my husband and I kept in our bed. It lasted for about a week. He started to feel better,and we tucked him in his own bed at night. But he would just get out in the middle of the night. And now it hasn't stopped.Once in a while my husband and i get some privacy.
