how do you all feel about co-sleeping with your baby/toddler?

Question

Answer

Co sleeping yes, bed sharing no. I do bring my daughter to my bed in the morning but only now that she's over 9 months old and it's after I'm up and she's still sleeping for a bit. I answer emails and snuggle for a bit for her to wake up.

Answer

I'm terrified to put  my children in their own rooms far away from me they both sleep in the same room as me my oldest has a bed in my room and my youngest sleeps in the bed with me and the new baby will go back and forth depending on his needs... I am a very light sleeper and can't sleep unless I can open my eye every little bit and see that new baby breathing , or I can feel them breathing , and I don't like back or stomach sleeping , stomach they suffocate, back they aspirate, I like them to be side sleepers or back sleepers at a 45* angle, I'm always afraid someone will break in or the house will catch fire between the rooms and I can't get to them fast enough .... we all sleep wonderfully together !!!! Although my oldest says she's going to her room to sleep when the baby gets here because she isn't going to be woke up through the night 😂 which she does fine with that as well

Answer

my daughter slept in her bassinet/crib till around 1 and than she would crawl in bed with us around 3am so we never would move her back since we wake up at 5am

Answer

My baby will be in my room until he’s sleeping through the night or atleast only getting up once in a while... but he will never be in my bed. My husband is a heavy sleeper and an active sleeper and I would lose sleep worrying. 
I’ve also watched two of my cousins have their babies sleep in their bed for convenience and now they each have 4 year olds who absolutely refuse to sleep in their own beds and won’t even go to sleep unless one of their parents are in bed..... not saying that situation happens to everyone, but it certainly turned me off from it.

Answer

nephew died of cot death I will never sleep with any of my baby's because of this

Answer

Absolutely not. My daughter sleeps in her own space. That’s where she’s most safe. And once they hit toddler age, I find it to be just plain dumb to let them sleep in your bed. I’m not starting that horrible habit.

Answer

I sleep with my SO & after long tiring days I don’t feel comfortable having her in bed with us, if I slept by myself then it would definitely be a yes.

Answer

when i first had my daughter i had an emergency csection, after 48 hours of active labour the experience was full on. and i actually could hardly move without being in extreme pain with my partner back at work very soon after, working 12 hour days i found it easier to co sleep with her as i could tend to her quickly and painlessly. and he found it easier and better for him to sleep in another room. shes now 2 and a half and still sleeps in my bed. and ive just had my second who has bad tummy pains at night so he likes to be comforted often so he sleeps in the bed too.. on the opposite side to my daughter with me in the middle. Its obviously not forever but it works for now i get a good nights sleep and so do they.

Answer

I've co-slept with all of my children. 
My 4th is 7 months and has slept with me every night since birth. I recently went out of town for a trip and crib sleep trained my son in 2 days. 
I prefer to keep them a little closer until they are ready to Transition. To each her own- be safe

Answer

It's easier to get your baby to sleep by themselves if you sleep train from 3-6 months so no I wouldn't with a toddler. Plus with my husband and a kid I'd have no room 😂
