Co-sleeping

Who is still co-sleeping?

We are, and will be for a couple years still.

We are. Well, I think we still are. He has been sleeping in his crib in our room for most of the night the past 4 nights. When he wakes up about 6-6:45 I've been taking him to the couch with me. I'm actually hoping this will last but if it doesn't he will come back to bed with us.

We do, but we don't start off co-sleeping....she goes down in her crib. I seem like I co-sleep the most when I am away, like since I've been here I think we've co-slept the majority of the time she's been here! She snuggles now

We are! Except now instead of sleeping between hubby and I, she now just sleeps next to me and hubby is in her room. We are ALL sleeping much better this way. We are organizing her room so she will move in there...at some point. lol

We are! We moved Juliana to a side-car crib around 10 months because DH had a seizure, and also because she was starting to get squirmy at that time. I love the arrangement because she has her own space but is only an arms reach away. Despite the fact that she wakes up around 4x per night most nights, I still feel pretty rested because I just move her next to me, nurse for about 5-10 minutes, and she rolls over on her own to go back to her crib. I don't have any plans to move her to her own room any time soon. If I had to take a guess I'd say we'll do it when she's around 3, but I can still see us possibly co-sleeping happily until she's 4 or so. It just feels very natural to me to be close to her all night.

As far as the intimacy aspect, we have two open bedrooms (hers and the guest bedroom) where we can go, plus the loveseat in my office or DH's office. I think if anything, it keeps things more interesting. There's also the master closet (thanks Seema for the idea, LOL!).

Not I. But we never really co-slept to begin with. Caleb is in his crib from 7pm until 7am.

I am gladly not. He was NOT sleeping well next to me at all. I switched him to his crib at 12 months and he has been sleeping through the night since. If he had been happy sleeping next to me we'd probably STILL be cosleeping. BUT with expecting another baby I'm really glad its this way right now. We both get our sleep until the baby gets here lol!
