My husband would want her anywhere else!

I have friends who are divorcing right now, and co-sleeping was one of their main issues. He hated it, she loved it.

My husband was SOOOO against it. Then, shortly after my son was born I started having gall bladder attacks at night and couldn`t move so he would wake up and bring my son to me to nurse. After a few nights he just stopped putting him back in his crib. My little boy is 13 months and we all love sharing a bed! I agree with shesxchaotic, too. My husband and I rarely had sex before bed so it has never effected that!

I was totally against it , my dh wanted it. Then again thats how is culture is. He grew up with the `FAMILY BED`. NAy how Once we started, I LOVED IT!! We have had a baby/kid in our bed for over 6 yrs now. heheh. Our baby is 15 months, i just love to be able to look @ him sleeping and hug and kiss him anytime I want. Somenight When We need our time I put him in his crib in our room and he usually will sleep til about 2-3am. when he sleeps with us he sleeps ALL NIGHT!! I just love Co-sleeping. Although I would not recommend it for people who are heavy sleepers!!!!

I should also add, alot of people (men especially) think co-sleeping will affect your sex life. Maybe it`s just us but we`ve never been people that have sex at bedtime and then just go to sleep. So now with having our son, when he falls asleep in the swing or takes a nap we have time together and the two never interfere and we`re able to have sex a few times a week

My DH was the biggest culprit, lol. Totally on board with it ~ BUT safely only. Babies were in close and secure beds that fit between our pillows.

EandT~ I think most men might not be fans of the `idea` of co-sleeping, but when sleepless nights kick in and the reality is you can get better sleep co-sleeping... Well it has worked great for us! We also kept a pack`n`play next to our bed, as she got older we would start her in it at the beginning of the night and after her first feeding she would just stay in bed with us. I think that helped with transitioning her to her crib later on.

well i have been cosleeping for 14 months, but im a single mama, so we dont share our bed with anyone else.

EandTsmum (794.4 days ago)
militarymommy that`s too cute! I ask because we never cosleep with our twins unless they are sick/teething and a big reason for that is the fact that there is 2 of them. I asked DH on the weekend if we one day decide to have another baby, will he be ok with cosleeping and he didn`t seem too keen. I didn`t really go too much further in to it with him because it`s not really an issue at the moment.

At first not but then he warmed up.

shesxchaotic (794.4 days ago)
Our 3 month old has slept with us since day one and we all sleep great! He sleeps for 7+ hours and wakes up smiling so my husband is completely on board!

military~mommy (794.4 days ago)
Haha, my DH was partially responsible for our co-sleeping. I unexpectedly had a c-section and when we brought her home I had such trouble getting up to get her to BF. DH was not a fan of waking up and getting her for me and taking her back every hour! So DH found a keyboard box, lined it with her blankets, and set it in the middle of the bed. And of course that evolved to us co-sleeping for the next six months. We loved it, and will do the same with this baby!

  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,.....
