Calling all moms! Did/do you co-sleep?

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

We did not, of course because
our kids were both adopted.
Our eldest one, our son JO, had never before seen a bed in his entire life! In Korea everybody sleeps on the ground, on a carpet. He was terrified of his bed with bars! The only way I could make him fall asleep, was by lying on the mat together with him! It took us 3 weeks to make him accept his own bed
Our daughter didn't have any problems at all; at the orphinage she was used to sleep in beds with bars.

Nathan started off in his own bed for the first year. Then he was forced (not by us) for 3 weeks to live with his abusive "mother" who shut him up in a dark room and let him cry himself to sleep. When he came back he had a lot of emotional problems and always wanted me in sight (since he wasn't allowed to see me for those 3 weeks) so I slept next to him. And have been doing it ever since. Wouldn't have it any other way. The way I see it is, when he's 16 he's not still going to be climbing in bed with me. lol. I co-slept with my parents and I am very independent now. It works more for some people than it does others.

I have a friend who let her son co-sleep. He is 13 and still does not like to sleep alone. He complained that they had each other so they got him a dog.

Now all four of them sleep in the one bed.

Fortunately they are small people.

So funny. You are kidding, right?


Most Drs warn against sleeping with babies. My husband & I actually took
turns getting up with our kids. Usually could rock them back to sleep & lay
them back to their own beds.

Only a litle. This year when they visited they did use two beds. First time.

And you are right! He is an only child....

I don't have children but if I did they'd be sleeping in their own bed in their own room. I'm also a very light sleeper and now my cats are waking me up throughout the night.

I know that my parents never co-slept with me or my 2 younger brothers. Sometimes during a thunderstorm I'd come into my parents bedroom because I was scared and they'd let me sleep with them just for that night or until the storm was over but that was it. I always enjoyed having my own bed and my own room.

Would I be correct in assuming that they never had any more children?? Unless of course they adopted..............
