Almost every morning. I think M gets a little cold... so she snuggles up next to me and all is right with the world

No, I didn't want her to start thinking that it was OK to sleep in our bed because we don't co-sleep so I just got her up for the day and eventually she started to wake up later.

On the weekends I do! She gets up around 5, I feed her then we all get back into bed with DH till around 7 when our dog starts to whine to be let out and eat.

I don't co-sleep, though some mornings it is tempting when I'm still tired! He tends to sleep until 7:30-8 each morning, so I just make sure I don't go to bed too late the night prior.

Yes! Just started doing this. Before I would just let her sleep on me and move from the glider to the couch, but learned yesterday morning I can actually take her into bed with me and she continues to sleep too. Is that bad? haha

Nope. But my mom and I used to take naps together when I was in preschool after she took me home and gave me a snack. I'm hoping to be able to do the same... I'd love an excuse for a nap!

DS has been waking up somewhere between 2 and 4am and I nurse him back to sleep in my bed (don't have a glider or a good place to nurse him upstairs other than the bed). I almost always fall back asleep with him. He'll sleep next to me until I have to get up for work at 6:30am.

I do! LO wakes between 4-5 for food and I'm too lazy anad tired to go back to my bed.

I did and would totally do it with my daughter too! Sometimes you just need that extra hour of sleep to really make a big difference in the day. I felt like I needed it to be more alert...which in the long run is safer for the baby. Otherwise I would be super drowsy all day long.

Yep, when DH goes to work for the day, I bring Sawyer into the bed with me to snuggle. DH doesn't sleep well when he thinks Sawyer is in the bed with us, so we don't co-bed when DH is in the bed.

Not in the mornings but I do often fall asleep while nursing him in the afternoon while watching TV. He sleep eats so he also gets some z's in as well. I tend to nurse for longer than I normally do during those feedings. I'll look and it's been 50 minutes. :O!

Every day! NavyBaby wakes up between 5 and 6 and I just bring him into bed with me to nurse and snuggle until 730 when we get up. I love my morning snuggles with him!

@LAGS: I've got a morning grunter too. I think that's how I got to waking up early: I think he's about to wake up so I sit up and get ready to nurse, but he just keeps grunting and wiggling but not actually waking up.

Yes! LO wakes up between 5-6 AM and I usually just bring him to our bed so we can get some more sleep.

yes!!! she doesnt; go back to bed after the 5:30 feeding unless i'm holding her. i don't want to co-sleep... so im gonna try and break her habit .

Yep! Guilty. I always was adamantly against co-sleeping for my baby, but now I totally see the value since it extends my morning sleep. DD usually wakes up to feed around 4:30/5 AM, and then she'll wake up again at 6-something, not b/c she's hungry, but b/c it's light out. I've found that if I then bring her in bed with me, she'll sleep soundly until as late as 9 AM... so yes, we definitely co-sleep in the mornings!

Yup, she has been waking up at 5am to nurse. I usually nurse her in cradle with a boppy and she falls asleep in my arm. Our day starts at 630am. If I let her sleep in my arms she'll sleep if not she'll be up and ready. Sometimes if she's up earlier than 5 and I don't fall asleep nursing I'll put her back in the crib. Sometimes she'll sleep till 7 sometimes not. It's a crapshoot really.

I used to when LO was little! Same as you - she'd wake up at around 5:30am and I'd just grab her and lay her on my chest still swaddled and she'd sleep cozily until 7-7:30! But one time her little swaddled body literally rolled off of me and onto the bed! LOL.

I do. I didn't at all with my first, but she slept really well. The baby is a brutal sleeper and will just twitch around all morning. Plus it's been a really cold spring her. She usually comes to bed with us after the early morning feed.
