I never felt safe with my child in bed with me so they slept in a cradle next to our bed. But far be it for me to deny another person that joy. My brother and sister in law co sleep with their daughter and seem happy about it.

I love cosleeping although it definitely takes getting used to. The oldest three stayed in our bed until there were about 4 months, at which time their fatherkicked them out into their own beds although I wished to keep them in longer. However, with our youngest, she is 13 months and still in our bed although we have started the transistion to her own bed. Not only is it easier to nurse the little one when they are in bed with you, but there is just something so wonderful about having such a small body curled up next to you. I think in all of the timewe had the kids in the bed, the worst was that their father rolled into an arm or leg and then rolled off again almost immediately. There is an awareness that most parents have when a little one is in bed with them. I too think the benefits far out weigh the negatives. But you do have to approach this with caution, especially at first until your body gets used to having the baby there. I also kept lighter blankets on the bed in the beginning until I got used to keeping them a certain way in my sleep so the little one’s wouldn’t smother.

My child would be dead if I had not had her in bed with us. It saved her life many times. I will never ever regret having her in our bed. I had a lot of family members griping at me for having her in bed with us. I even think our doctor may have said something. There are safe ways to do it. The same thing can happen if a baby gets up against the bumpers in a baby bed.
By the way, I was once a person who thought people who slept with their kids were weird. Becoming a mom definitely changes the way you think.
