My son sleeps with his father and I most of the time. I didn't really plan on it. When he was first born I was breast feeding him and I decided to lay him in the bed with me to make it easier. This way I didn't have to get up every hour and what…Continue

i'd say that nowadays tommy sleeps through the night about half the week, whereas he was a wake 1-4 times a night kinda babe. secretly i was always hoping that the sleep issue would work itself out over time if i just toughed it out with him and it…Continue

My son is 5 months old and we've been co-sleeping with him since day one. When we first got home from the hospital it was just him and me in the bed and he'd often sleep on my chest. Something I thought he grew out of as he got bigger, but lately I…Continue

that was hilarious! totally feel her pain! i do the five minute rule: if i think he is absolutely for sure 100% asleep i give it 5 more minutes. waiting 5 minutes to move, retrieve my arm, run to the bathroom, check text message etc is well worth it compared to having to start the falling asleep routine all over again!

How do you get comfortable when your baby is hogging the bed? Our co-sleeping mama blogger plays the "Quick Hands" game. Check it out here.

@mommcg you should start a discussion thread so more people will see this. i chose to continue nursing over night and my boy still doesn't sleep through regularly at 2 years(i'm still nursing lol, only before bed and waking). even as annoying and as tiresome as it is, i know now i would have regretted it if i had stopped. how long do you plan to nurse?

I need help. I love to sleep with my little girl. She is 9 months old. I am the one who takes care of her because my husband works (and i do it better) lol. She goes to bed in her crib at night, but when she wakes up at 2am, i nurse her n sleep. I have three older boys too so im exhausted. Naps arenot very long. My hubby is starting to complain and telling me that im turning her into a needy person and she is already too attached to me. she only wants me. i dont want to make my baby insecure or needy. i love her and want to do right by her. so do i wean her from so sleeping or lay her in her crib n let her cry? i know i will miss it too and im not sure it is whats best for her or me . does anyone have any suggestions?

My baby sleeps with me half the night if she wakes in the middle of the night I bring her in the bed with us. lately she's been sleeping through the night(thank God). I like her to sleep with me but I wake up more because she wakes up more when she's with me to eat because I'm still breastfeeding. I just like waking up to her but I get super excited when she sleeps through the night in her crib. My only thing is trying to go to sleep without her I'm up for hrs after she's in her crib because I'm thinkin she's going to wake up or just because she's not with me I never sleep be4 2am sadly.

Hi Mamas, yet another new study has been released on co-sleeping. This one concludes that some infants might get less oxygen and more recycled carbon dioxide when co-sleeping, which could be dangerous. Click here to check it out here on the Mom365 site.

I love having my baby girl sleep with me and she loves it too :) it seems like she sleeps more soundly and peacful than in her bassinet. I just dont get a restful nights sleep cause im constantly waking up to see if I rolled on her or if she's still breathing. Are there any suggestions to help me ease my worries?

I been co-sleeping with all my kids, my son is 11yrs, daughter is 7yrs and now I have a 6week old, now it's he's turn to co-sleep with me and the huby, for some reason none of my kids like to sleep n there curb until they was about 1yrs old they sleep on there own bed. One more thing I don't know if it just me or my back round being Haitian-American we always put are kids in there tummy and thank baby Jesus that nothing have happen and they love being n there tummy when every I put them in there back they cry.. All three of them.

my son just turned two and he still sleeps with me. some people say if i don't get him out of my bed soon it will be harder later. but i've also read that cosleeping makes children more independent later in life, wich i've actually seen myself. I don't want him to sleep with us too long though but i'm not sure how or when i should transition him to his own bed. he moves around a lot and will occassionally wake up at night if he doesn't feel someone next to him. i started cosleeping so i wouldn't have to wake up so much at night to go put him back to sleep, in my bed he just rolls over and falls back asleep and sleeps more at night. if anyone has advice i'd appreciate it.
