I began doing this when our daughter (my 2nd child) was a week or so old. I`d bf her to sleep and she`d stay in bed with me. However around 8 weeks of age she started waking up every hour or 2. That was exhausting so I moved her to her crib and now she wakes once or twice a night. Much better!

I co-slept and breastfeed for almost 6 months. He woke up twice during the night. I moved him to his crib beside my bed and still breastfeed but now he wakes up every two hours! *sigh*

I also did both (I recently weaned her) and it was wonderful because she slept through the night from the time she was six weeks. Whenever she`d stir and look for the breast, it was there. I didn`t care if she latched on for comfort or milk; I got to sleep! That was the important part! She is almost 11 months now and I weaned her off around 10 months because she was only using it for comfort. It was tough the first two nights, but got better as the nights went on.

i do both...at the same time, too! LOL She only wakes up once during the night and its usually around 3ish. I bring her into our room and we lay in the bed bacing each other and she feeds that way. I fall back asleep immediately and she rolls onto her back when shes done. Rarely she will want the other `tank`. And then I wake up at 6 to get ready for work and she sleeps until I get her up to eat one more time and then we`re off to the sitters and work. I love love love our routine!

i did both for a while but i have no idea how often, i sadly become a comfort not so much food. He would turn over and just latch on. I would wake up and realize that he was latched (or still latched). But i would say he would wake at least 2 times a night.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
