How many of us are co-sleeping moms (baby sleeps with mommy) and of you how many breast feed? I am finding that this is more common than not, and especially in breast fed babies.

I do co-sleeping and she is breast fed.  

I co-sleep with my little one.  She is 7 months old and she is exclusively breast fed. 

 

I co sleep as well and my daughter is also breastfed.

I do both also with my 8 month old son.

I co-sleep with my eight month old daughter and breastfeed her. So much easier than getting up for midnight feedings. We both sleep better this way.

I co-sleep with my daughter, she is 6 months old, and breast fed. I love having her in bed with me, and my husband likes her being there also. :) I was going to try moving her into her crib in her room, but my husband said he would miss her and wasn't ready for her to leave our bed. haha A lot of people tell me that co-sleeping is a bad habbit and that I should put her in her crib. They say it will be a hard habbit to break. :( What do you all think? Do people tell you all the same thing? I hear this almost every time I say she is still in our bed. :(

I say you never hear a story where a baby was abducted out of the parents bed. Those same people who say co sleeping is bad also look at you funny if your baby is steal breast feeding at a yr. I also feel they didn't get as much sleep at night as well. I love my sleep and i don't have to make a bunch of trips to another room and tiredly feed her in a rocking chair or whatever. I don't think its any different than anything else as they grow. I think ultimately a parent knows when its time to move them out of the bed.
I hear the same thing from everyone.  And it does not matter how many times I tell them the benefits of co-sleeping, they always say the same thing.  I know that it may be hard to move her to bed later on.  she will take naps in her bed but  I just feel better with her with me at night.  If anything happened, (storm, fire,etc) she is already right there with her daddy and me.  I don't have to go all the way across the house to protect my child.  She is right next to me. Plus it makes night feedings a lot easier.   I just tell people that for us the benefits of her co-sleeping greatly outweigh and any trouble we may have later on. 
Yes super bad habbit to break!! I wish and I would love to have our 8month old baby sleep with us but I see what a hard time my sister has had with my nephew trying to get him to sleep in his room in his bed and that's what did it for me. When she started trying to get him to sleep in his room he wouldn't stay so they thought he wasn't old enough now he's going on 4 and when they leave him in his room he always winds up waking up at 2am and finding his way to their bed. She got to the point where she one day locked the door thinking he would go back after he realized he couldt get in ...she was wrong he layed down outside her door. Totally broke my heart! Can't see my self trying to break that on my baby so to me it's just better for him and better for me in the future. Although he does sleep in his crib he's still in our room so I think we're going to change him in to his room as soon as winter is over so we'll see how that goes!

I've been hearing all of that for quite a while now. I didn't find it hard at all for all of mine to move into their own beds.

I breastfeed and co-sleep.  Well, we have an arm's reach co-sleeper due to having a queen pillow top.
