Finally getting to comment here ... I have to say I am totally for co-sleeping. My 3-year-old son was a terrible sleeper as an infant and early toddler and got a lot of comfort from the easy proximity of co-sleeping. It also made breastfeeding easier, though I wasn't one of those mothers who could just sleep through the whole thing. At this point, I am very ready to move him over to his room and we will do this s - l - o - w - l - y (mainly because it won't work any other way!). I am not sure what we would do if we were lucky enough to have another child. I think we would treat it like your family does -- as something dependent upon the child's needs.

I say do whatever works for you and your child. Some kids won't sleep without that extra security, others adjust fine. Mine was in our room for the first month, and then slept 5 straight hours the first night in his own room. If cosleeping works for you, and you can do it safely, go for it! savvysuzies last blog post..I'd like to thank the Academy...

I am such a light sleeper that I don’t like to co-sleep. But then again, I am like you. You do what you need to do for each child so you can survive !!

Melody: I’m with ya on the cold feet thing…I swear my 3 year old’s toes are made of ice at night.
Melissa: My dd slept better in her own bed, too. It’s amazing that each kid can be so different!

I co-slept with my first because yes, I was lazy But she slept so well with us. With the second one we tried to do the same thing but she slept so much better on her own. I actually got out of bed in the middle of the night to put her back in her bassinett
