Re: How many of you sleep with your infants?
Posted by dpli
I've never done it for a few reasons.
1.) Too afraid one of us will roll on top of him and hurt or smother him. I have also heard stories and yes, they are rare, but I wouldn't want to be that one person it happened to.
2.) I know too many people who are still trying to get their 3, 5 or 7 year old out of their bed and aren't getting a decent night's sleep. I just didn't want to deal with this problem later on down the road.
3.) I barely got a decent night's rest when he was in the bassinet in our room. I woke up with every little noise and every time he turned over. I just don't think we would get enough sleep.
4.) we also have time together at night in bed that is intimate but not alway sexual - we talk a lot in bed before we actually go to sleep. I probably wouldn't do this if the baby was in our bed and I would miss this time with DH.
But I do agree with Moe, that it is your business. If it works for you and your family, that's great. Most of the world does sleep this way, our society mainly is the one that doesn't.
I agree with all of the above. I did BF DD for the first 6 months - 4.5 of those months she was in our room in a co-sleeper next to the bed. It was much easier to BF with her right there in the middle of the night, but it really was no big deal to walk down the hallway 1-2 times a night to BF her after we moved her to her crib. Now I have a hard time sleeping in the same room with her when we go away, etc. She is very restless.

Re: How many of you sleep with your infants?
We did it a few times but I hate it. Neither my DC's or me were able to sleep well. It was definitly easier for me to feed DD since I was BF but once I started to fall into a deep sleep I was done with it.
Now, my mom co-slept with my brother until he was well over five (I want to say close to 7) and she tried numerous times to get him to his bed and he wouldn't. When it time for bed he would walk into her room and go to sleep. I think he needed the security. She partial didn't mind because half of that time she was divorced. He now 11 and can sleep anywhere, but it still doesn't work for us and I think that is a long time to co-sleep for.

I mean why do they even make cribs and toddler beds if COSLEEP is the way?
it is the way for CERTAIN people (not me, dd was in her crib at 5 weeks)
but why do people have to justify their decisions, for THEIR family to you or anyone????????????????
I am asking a question? is cosleep the way? I mean how did this even come about since it seems to be sorta a "new" thing.. Justify Please.. I am asking a reasonable thing here..
mothers have been sleeping with their infants since the beginning of time, and it's still the main way children are put to sleep in many societies - just not ours. in recent years there has been a revival of co-sleeping as part of the "attachment parenting" method. if you google "dr. sears" you can learn more about it, since he is a main figure behind that method.
i don't co-sleep with ds all night for lots of reasons, but mainly because i am WAY too nervous and because dh and i have made our bed our own private spot.
but i do love the closeness of sleeping with ds... i find it to be one of the most bonding things i do with him, more bonding than nursing ever was for me. so i do it early every morning when i sleep very lightly. we cuddle and snooze together in the guest room. i take ALL pillows, top sheets, and covers off the bed, though to minimize any risk of suffocation.
Thank you so much for being sweet about the way that you responded for Theresa to find out about it. I know her a long time, and while it may seem that she is being defensive... she is honestly asking questions, and everyone is jumping down her throat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is at work right now, and just trying to find out the pros vs. cons without having to spend time doing serious research which could compromise her work...
you know what I thank u too...
I dkwhy some can ask questions and debate a answer and some cannot ask anything. It seems to matter sometimes on who is asking and the question it is...
The question is from someone who does not do it and doesn't understand the reasoning behind it is all...
This forum is all about questions, answers and opinions-everyone is entitled to a opinion.
I was curious myself how everyone has relations if they co-sleep.
We should all have the live and let live attitude it should apply to every topic asked--not just some,
Ii like everyones opinion and I look at all aspects...its good to know things.
Hey Jeannine
I just have to disagree with you on this. The same people arent being picked on. I think it is how you word/phrase your question. I also find it odd that when it comes to something someone else doesnt do...its beaten to death. Seriously, there are many thing like CIO, not giving vaccines, and many others that I dont agree with BUT I respect parents choices bc thats what it is....THEIR CHOICE. I think its ridiculous that when you ask questions about the above situations that some people can say "I dont want to talk about it". Dont judge others when you dont want to be judged. Thats all. To each their own. But obviously this post (dont mean the OP but the post altogether created ALOT of drama otherwise it wouldnt have 3500 views...so it wasnt only about finding out what Co-sleepers do.
P.S. I am responding to your statement not you personally...still like ya

Re: How many of you sleep with your infants?
I am a co-sleeping parent and my theory is that we all gotta do what works best for us.
Why should it be something that has to be explained to someone in order to understand it...

For me, I was more curious to know if those who co-sleep did it because DC didn't like the crib or because the parents wanted the baby/child in bed with them....Not saying one way is right and the other way is wrong.

I understand but when I see 2 posts about co-sleeping and the same question as to"help me understand it". It's like errr why do you care. If you ask out of just sheer curiousity then that's one thing. But to ask to make someone understand it just makes me say "mind your own Business"...But i'm not saying it to you...

Re: How many of you sleep with your infants?
We felt strongly that we didnt want to do this. Ironically, we did try a few times to get him to sleep with us on weekend mornings and he will have NONE of it. He's isnt a cuddler at all and hates it...

NOT TRUE for everyone.
It is not something we believe in, in our house, but I needed to know why from the people that were willing to answer, to see if maybe it was something that is going to help me and my child with the sleeping problems that have arisen in my house. and maybe for future reference for any other children I may have.

I am actually referring to the second thread that was made asking the same question...it was posted for drama. If not then why would it be posted asking the same exact question after there were at least 100+ responses on here...
I truly believe that there were alot of honest, curious people but then again I think there were a few that werent.

But after reading a couple of responses and researching it - I understand alot more. And can see why some parents do believe in it

I was honestly trying to see what benefits is has since I do plan on having more children . I am not quite sure what your problem is but I am glad to see this now.

Funny thing...even after I said to you that I was torn to peices that someone would ask if my child was clingy bc we co-slept...you still went on and made another post saying "can someone tell you nicely"...Hmmmmm funny thing Allison most people "might" say "I am truly sorry if I offended anyone...no not you, you went on to start another post.Bottom line, I dont agree with many things you do but I respect that we have different parenting styles and would not resort to labeling your child as being one way.

I stated nicely because I didn't want it starting into another drama post. And I was never rude or nasty about anything. Maybe clingy was the wrong word to use. I apologize. I was honestly interested thats it.

Re: How many of you sleep with your infants?
To answer the OP's original question, our son does not sleep with us, but has a few times in the past. And to be honest with you, I am so uncomfortable when he sleeps with us. Not only lack of space but I'm scared that I will suffocate him. There were many times that I woke up and his face was buried into my chest...scary. I'm not a big fan of co-sleeping...but I understand that some people do it bc their child sleeps better that way and it works out great for the whole family. To each its own.

Re: How many of you sleep with your infants?
all 4 of my girls slept in their cribs,but at 2 weeks old,my son started his reflux,and even 3 hours after a meal,he would throw up in his sleep and would even gag and would gasp for air.so at 2 weeks old i put him in bad with me,because sometimes i would have to pick him up in a hurry.i told my ped,she said he's safer next to me,so i can help him if he needs it.he now is 5 months old and he still sleeps with me,and will untill he's much bigger.i personally feel.....to each his own...what ever works best for you..

Where I understand, where some people are like to co-sleeping - cause yesterday afternoon, I definitely wasn't agreeing with it at all.
But after reading a couple of responses and researching it - I understand alot more. And can see why some parents do believe in it
I wanted to add that I ask questions about other people's parenting decisions so I can understand them and become (hopefully!) less judgemental. We all think our way is the best way and that's why we do it-so there is an innate sense of judgement on those who do it differently than us. Asking respectful questions to better understand another point of view is essential. I don't think that all the questions on here were respectful, however a lot of them were and I think that's helpful.
Co sleeping is not for us and nothing on this thread has made me rethink that. But, I do have a better understand of why some people choose to do so and I respect their decision more.
Now, not everyone cares what I think (nor should they), so maybe it doesn't matter that this non co sleeper has more understanding of what co sleepers go through, but in the endeavor for mutual respect and harmony (we are living in a society, afterall) it's crucial to at least try to understand where someone else is coming from.

Why should it be something that has to be explained to someone in order to understand it...
For me, I was more curious to know if those who co-sleep did it because DC didn't like the crib or because the parents wanted the baby/child in bed with them....Not saying one way is right and the other way is wrong.
I understand but when I see 2 posts about co-sleeping and the same question as to"help me understand it". It's like errr why do you care. If you ask out of just sheer curiousity then that's one thing. But to ask to make someone understand it just makes me say "mind your own Business"...But i'm not saying it to you...
DRAMA...thats why and EVERYONE noticed that just for the record...all too obvious.
NOT TRUE for everyone.
It is not something we believe in, in our house, but I needed to know why from the people that were willing to answer, to see if maybe it was something that is going to help me and my child with the sleeping problems that have arisen in my house. and maybe for future reference for any other children I may have.
I am actually referring to the second thread that was made asking the same question...it was posted for drama. If not then why would it be posted asking the same exact question after there were at least 100+ responses on here...
I truly believe that there were alot of honest, curious people but then again I think there were a few that werent.
Obviously you are talking about me. It wasn't posted for drama but to take it away from this thread because it wasn't what she asked and I realized that. I was honestly trying to see what benefits is has since I do plan on having more children . I am not quite sure what your problem is but I am glad to see this now. And to see that EVERYONE thought I was causing drama.
I think the issue lies in the fact that many people did in fact answer your question and then you still kept questioning it.
Sorry to cut you Summer...just wanted to add that ...Allison you also finished off with a "I dont think its for the kids ...its only for the parents".
That is how I feel. Not about all that do it but some. Sorry. What is wrong with that?
I truly believe that you threw that comment in as a dig. Some things are just better left unsaid

Re: How many of you sleep with your infants?
This topic is always controversial but man this time it was just taken to a whole other level.
Why does anyone care that much what people do with their kids? Co-sleeping isn't abusing them so don't worry about why people do it or not. Do what's right for you, end of story. No one needs to defend themselves. Those of us that cosleep don't jump all over those of you that use cribs.
