Five Reasons to Continue Cosleeping Past Infancy

Love it. I miss dd when she is in her cot. Many nights she comes in during the night so love waking up with her.
However she loves the teddies and sleeping with us lol two nights ago we woke up with dd in the middle and a huge Elmo the same size as her. Sometimes she brings in her three favourites lol

I recommended co sleeping to parents at work and when they worry about trying to get them in their bed I say why worry. If co sleeping is working why change

My kiddies always coslept and even now at 8 and 5 I will often find them snuggled in bed with us

lucky I have a king bed I don't even notice them come in!!

Thanks for that. DS is almost 3 yrs old and is JUST starting to want to sleep with me anywhere from 11pm/3am. At first I could easily settle him back into his own bed, but lately he refuses so I let him stay (and now love it).

Thanks for this, I've been thinking about getting DS into his cot but I like him next to me at night so feeling good about not having moved him.

I can definitely attest to the fact that co sleeping leads to shared confidences. My DS1 now 17 cons keep with me well past infancy. Unlike most 17 yro boys he tells me about his day, we laugh and talk about everything. He still to this day will come in to bed with DH, baby brother and Ibin lazy weekend mornings.
