Hi parents!

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

qarezma..yes..especially if baby is sick.

Ijnek..kekeke..so 4 of you on the mattress .

Hmmm...maybe I should think about that too...currently, at times, hb and I have to sleep at the edge of the bed if son takes the whole space

my son doesn't move alot but he sleeps horizontally..hence hb and I sleeping at the edge. No matter how we would place in vertically..he would end up horizontally.

oooo...really ar? hmmm....qarezma & ijnek..what do you say on this? LOL!

munkeyflo..why suddenly sleep on his own liao?kekekekeke..

hahahhaha!

hehehe..my son used to take the pacifier..but when he reached 1 yr plus..he totally rejected it.. dunno why..so now i'm a human pacifier. since we co-sleep and he's much bigger now..he'll wake up and look for his 'pacifier' on his own.

well..if we want to 'play', it will have to be outside the room as we are afraid he may wake up..kekeke.

hahahaha!! Now I'm worried...kekekeek..must let my hb know

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.

For sleeping..i never use CIO...cannot tahan.

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

heheeh..yes..like qarezma said..he will roll towards you and snuggle..very nice..even hubby's heart will melt whenever my son does it. coz most of the time he snuggles next to me only.

My son sleeps in the middle. Hb not jealous. Most of the times I fall asleep while making my son sleep . If we want couple time...then it would be in the hall.

If my son is awake..he is the one jealous...wont let my hb to hold or hug me.

Nickit...I used to sing twinkle twinkle little stars, are you sleeping and rock-a-bye baby. Some times I fall asleep first while singing lol!

Nickit..yes..sing non-stop. Alternatively..record your singing . That's what my hubby did..recorded my voice singing..when I had my girls night out
