yes, i co-sleep too and i love it.

If my baby is having a rough time waking up due to discomfort or hunger or anything, i am there to attend to him immediately, while hubby runs down to get milk/diapers/etc... my baby is now 12months

earlier hubby used to sleep separately so that baby and I can have our space on the bed. Later on we got a single bed, and put it next to our queen size bed and now we have ample of space for the 3 of us.. we dont mind co-sleeping till our son is 3 or 4 yrs old.. there will be a time when he would want his own room and stuff

lol understand your concern.. thats why we have 2 pillows for footboard protection & 1 thin mattress on the floor beside the bed... however only concerned when son sleeping alone while we watch tv downstairs..

it would be a good investment, cos eventually when your kid gets his own room, u can move the single bed to their room..

my son takes a lot of space to sleep.. moves around like at war... and it gives some space for hubby and i to ahem ahem...

oh no.. cannot la.. i expect once kids go to kindergarten should start sleeping on their own la...

munkeyflo - maybe something with the upbringing, are the parents the type to encourage the boy to be on his own, or always very protective?

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

dont use the CIO method... its quite mean for the baby
i guess u need to take baby steps lor... include singing in his bedtime.. then slowly one day try to carry & sing him to sleep... then one day take the pacifier out... trial and error mostly

i had a difficult time with singing oso... from the time baby was born, his father used to sing ABCD to him and he'll sleep. But whenever i try to sing to him, i get a blank 'whats wrong wit u' stare.. i used to feel so bad...

but i continued singing.. whatever sleeping chance i get.. and now he sleeps with my song

once he starts turning he will roll towards u and u can snuggle... hehe...

baby on my right, hubby on my left... i snuggle to baby, hubby snuggle to me

if my son sees me and hubby hugging or kissing, he gets super happy and crawls or walks towards us to join the fun, if on the bed, he will just climb in between us


awww i get it too.. kicks, slaps and also head bangs... funny thing the little fella never feels any pain.. LOL


sing lor... sometimes i get creative and sing my own version of song for him, sometimes sing with different voice or intonation.. be creative
yr baby's habit cannot change overnight... so give him some time.. first sing while he is sucking... continue that and slowly try to remove the sucking and just sing... maybe rock him also

haiz dont tension.. u try what u can, your baby is still young, u got time to try and try till u get it... as i said, they wont change over night... we parents need to be patient..

my baby sleeps towards the wall, and mummy & daddy protect his other side.

When we leave him to sleep alone while we are downstairs, we keep a thin mattress on the floor, just in case

the way NBs sleep (wake up every hour almost) i doubt we can sleep so tight to sleep over them.. lol
