Yeah, today's been a bit weird.
My husband isn't feeling well and went to
bed at 6:30. 
i think .Aly and I are about to join him
in bed for some snuggling though! It's
getting cold, baby!

I'll be letting my daughter sleep with me
all the time. A lot of people seem to
think co-sleeping is a bad idea, but i'm
very interested in the ideas of attachment
parenting, and don't see a problem at all.
As long as it is done safely. When do
you think it's safe to have your baby
sleep in bed with you? Or what do you
think about co-sleeping?

We have a bassinet on the side of our bed
that she'll sleep in for a while, but
eventually I want her to sleep in her
crib. It'll make me nervous b/c its on
the other side of the house, so we'll see.
I want her to be able to sleep on her
own, so me and my husband can have
privacy. If I let her sleep with us,
i'll have a bed full in about 7 years.

I wouldn't have any issues of sacrificing
intimacy with my partner, as i'm going to
be a single mom from day one. If you
aren't dealing with that do you think
you'ld do differently?

If i'd be a single mom, i'd probably have
her sleep with me as long as it was safe.

iam also into attachement parenting. I
usually transfer .Trace into our bed in
the middle of the night. I started co
sleeping when he was about 2 months,
because before that, he was just too tiny
and I was scared. There are many benefits
to co sleeping and attachment parenting.

lucas has slept in my double bed with me
since day one. I planned to do
that. I wanted to be close for
the bonding and because its easier if you
breastfeed to lay on your side doing it,
not have to pick him up. Also
being a single mom I didnt have to worry
about being too squashed with a partner in
there either. And if anything was
wrong, I thought i'd know sooner if he was
right next to me.
For safety I pushed the bed against the
wall one side, so he cant fall out over
there, and put a rolled up blanket infront
of the wall so he cant accidently bang his
head on it or anything. And
there's a rolled up baby blanket inbetween
him and me like in the middle of the bed,
to stop me accidently rolling on him or
being too close to his face and
suffocating him. (i remove that
one when feeding him obviously) also
because breastfeeding means the baby has
to change sides, I bought one of those bed
guards for the other side of the bed for
when he's sleeping on that side.
So there's no way he can fall out.
*edited to add*
in the daytime for the first few months he
slept in a moses basket, now for naps
during the day he either sleeps on the
sofa with cushions infront and I keep an
eye on him, or in his playpen,
occasionally he falls asleep on the carpet
when we've been playing lol. If he
falls asleep in my arms, I always put him
in the play pen, because if u let them get
used to sleeping on u, it's a hard thing
to break.
I plan on putting him in his own bedroom
in his cot once hes about 10 months.
Im going to stop breastfeeding then too.
(he's got 4 teeth come through now, but
it seriously hasn't hurt yet....Weird lol
it's like he knows not to bite them!)

I like my bed too much to share with my
kids 
i also move around lot and would be scared
i'd squash them. I give them attention
every minute of the day possible so night
time is my chance to relax and snuggle up
by myself (i miss snuggling up to neil
though )

Alyvia started out in her crib. But the
sleep deprivation caught up with me after
two weeks, and I began to nurse her in bed
during her night feedings so I could nap.
Eventually I just left her there, because
I was too tired to get up and put her back
in her crib.
After that, she wouldn't sleep in her crib
hardly at all. She would wake up within
minutes of being put down and scream
hysterically. We tried to transfer her
for a month or so before deciding that
co-sleeping is the better choice for her
and us. At least we all sleep now!
We have a waterbed, which is a definite
no-no for co-sleeping. Because of that, I
keep .Aly between .Aaron and I so that she
doesn't get caught between the
water-mattress and the frame. I'm also
paranoid about rolling onto her when I
sleep, so I try to keep a bit of distance
between her and myself. But she likes
being close to a warm body, so she always
ends up right against me again. (which I
don't understand, because she can't
properly roll over yet...) every morning I
wake up, i'm at the very edge of the bed
with the frame dug into my back, an infant
curled up against my chest, and about
three feet of bed wide open on her other
side. It's nuts.

how old is your little boy allie? I only
ask because it is strongly advised not to
allow a baby up to 6 months to sleep on a
sofa because of the sids risk. This is
whether you are next to them or not.

8 months. Do you mean a baby under or
over 6 months shouldn't?

Lucas has slept on it in the daytime from
3 or 4 months, soon as he got too long for
his moses basket. Seemed fine.

yeah I meant under 6 months. It's just
advised against because of risk of sids.
I'm glad your little man's ok though.
Wasn't trying to lecture you, just thought
I better mention it.
