I can't stand the Cry It Out (CIO) method. The only time i use CIO is when my son is being naughty - crying for nothing..want me to carry him when i'm busy doing my housework/ cooking. That's another story lar.

The best part of co-sleeping is when they snuggle up to you..right?
Unless they are already 13 yo..then it's a nuisance LOL |

QUOTE(qarezma @ Feb 14 2011, 01:02 PM) munkeyflo - maybe something with the upbringing, are the parents the type to encourage the boy to be on his own, or always very protective? Haha I guess so to. Cause he's the youngest and only son in the family. He's kinda spoiled and everything also scared this scared that. Also very conscious of himself being embarrassed, very timid, not adventurous and stuff.nicKit - i gave pacifier to my baby last time becos he used me as one. After that he cannot sleep without pacifier till he was 1yo... but right before his first bday, i weaned him off! so proud of that I assume my parents brought me up the same way as they brought him up but dunno why he's like totally opposite of me. lol. |

QUOTE(phythia79 @ Feb 14 2011, 09:34 AM) Hi parents! Yes, i m being my son's natural "barrier". My son (one and half year) likes to sleep in bed by various position. Just wanted to ask if any of you co-sleep with your baby. If yes, for how long? As for me, I started to co-sleep when my son was about 1 month plus. Someone gave us this 'sleeper' which is a little bed where you can place on your bed in between. I totally found it useful as I didn't have to worry that we may roll over the baby and I don't need to get up every time just to check if he's breathing (i was totally worried about SIDS) Another reason i co-sleep is because i breastfeed..thus..I dont' need to disturb my sleep and still get enough winks. My son is now 1.5 yr old and still co-sleep with us (as I'm still breastfeeding). I did suggest to my hb if we should start letting my son sleep on his own bed but hb said he likes having his son sleep next to him. Do i worry if he doesn't want to sleep on his own? I do..but i think i should enjoy these moments as I'm very sure when he's a teenager..he doesn't want us near him...and would want his own space So, i am his "fence".. |

My baby sleeps on our bed since he was few months old till now. But I gave up the bed for him recently.. why?
Cause every night I got attacked by him. Tiba tiba kena sepak. On my head. On my eyes. I cannot sleep well. Now I am sleeping on the floor with extra tilam. At least get better sleep. This post has been edited by auhckw: Feb 14 2011, 11:36 PM |

QUOTE(munkeyflo @ Feb 14 2011, 11:18 AM) My younger brother has been sleeping together with my mum and dad on the same bed until last year. He has just turned 13 years old and starting to sleep on his own. Wookie, that's a bit freaky for me to hear. 13 years of age and only started to sleep on his own? WOW! Is there any special reason behind this? Regards, Joey |

Erm, don't think there's any special reason other than his personality which is very timid and afraid of almost everything. Shy, not adventurous, stuff like that..Regards, Joey |

We co-sleep too but no longer breastfeed.
King size bed with my hb and me on either side and he is in between us. Some times, I will carry him and let him sleep on my tummy. He sleeps soundly like this but at 1.5 years old, if it is up to me, I think I might want him to be a little independent, sleep on his own OCCASSIONALLY so he gets to break the habit when the time comes. Up to inidividual. |
