Any co-sleepers out there?

[Seren]

Just wondering if any co-sleeps and what age with.

I was always against this with Ds#1 but we are co-sleeping with Dd and have no immediate plans to put her in a cot. Just reading 3 in a bed by Deborah Jackson, it's a really good read.

Noooooo never fancied that but fortunately never have any of the children. They all slept much better when they went into their own rooms and so did we. I know it's very popular though :)

I did a bit of both with the lads - the first loved co-sleeping, the second prefered his own space tbh.

the last is now 7 and considers it her bed not ours - so guess we dont' have it sussed just yet lol.

how old is your DD now ?

Dd is just over 3 months, both the boys were restless and slept well in cots, she likes to be with us and she will be my last baby

I have co-slept with Zack before but only when he was restless. Now he sleeps really well in his crib :)

[Ravenfire]

No not by choice, we have the occasional night where they have been in with us, probably dd3 more than the others, but I love my space too much! I dont mind so much now as we have a super kingsize bed which means loads of room!! In fact had DD3 in with me last night we DH was away and it actually helps me to sleep better I think, although it was her choice to sleep there, and its lovely to wake up to snuggles in the morning.

I do that too when Dh is away Ds who is 8 always wants to sleep in our bed, but he hogs the bed and is really restless that I don't end up sleeping as well as I thought...

Co-slept when they were babies if I fell asleep while nursing!

Now dd (4) often "sneaks" in in the early hours, I usually only realise when I can't move my arm!

Me too I've said it three times so far :hysterica

[coco]

ROFL oooooooooooo no, no more for me, too many kids, not enough rooms and I'm not sure if DH would make me give back the dog and the cat he got me after the no more ban came in lol

Well after I had my second baby I said that was definately it, I'd had one of each and was happy. When they got a bit older we thought about having a third............ anyway to cut a long story short we did have another, our beautiful Christopher. It was a major decision to go from 2 children to 3 but after I'd had him I could easily have had more and did think about it but then he became ill it was out of the question as he took up all of our time.
After he died DH hinted at another and I didn't want one as I felt that our older two needed our attention as we'd all been through so much. Anyway as time went on.............. well to cut another long story short we ended up with our beautiful little Isobel who will be 2 in April.
So for the third time now I'm saying......... no more children and I think this time it's for real.
I'm soooooooo glad that hubby didn't give in to my demands and go and have the snip after our second baby was born. It's a terrible op and if I ruled the world I'd ban it ;)

I think I mean it , its hard as my coz who is the same age as me is pg, but she is in a better postion than I am, she has 2 older teenagers and an 8 month baby. I've got 8,2 and 3 months. I feel that are family is complete, although we would both love another baby. IThe age thing is praying on my mind a wee bit too

[Sarah]

Well I was 37 when I had Isobel and I was concerned about my age but I didn't feel old at all. THere are loads of women leaving it later now to even start a family let alone add on :)

thomas is my last one, lol (I hope) third child, dont no if u call it co sleeping but he comes in our bed at various times of the night, the other 2 never did, but once he is asleep he goes back in his cot, will be pleased when he is in a bed so he can get out and climb into ours rather than screaming in his cot for us to get him out to put in our bed, lol, he is usually in bed with us when we wake up cant remember putting him in there some nights, but he is 1 1/2 now and tells me away when i wake up to get the kids ready for school and stays with his dad for 20mins in bed, then after dh has had enough of juice and milk tipped on him they come downstairs, lol

[Azzi]

Everyone of my babies have always been my last ... till oops here comes another one , keeping my legs crossed this time :hysterica

[trogette]

azzi can I ask why you won't co-sleep with Eowyn? (my dd3's middle name is Eowyn :) )

[wokkies]

thats it for us dont think ds 1 1/2 will be coming in our bed in the mornig, he cried to come in our bed at 5am and after cuddling up and going back to sleep in our bed all was quiet then an hour later dh said "why is ds all cold", he had a sleeping bag, babygro and our quilt over him, and you couldnt see him breathing, dh picked him up and ds sighed and we could hear him breathing ok then, but had us really worried, he's fine now climbing all over the settee etc, too paranoid to let him sleep with us now:no:
