Ahhh I hope to never find out! I'm really terrified of giving in to trying co sleeping on a rough night. My husband is so large I don't trust him not to smush her!

She thinks if I'm there its play time.

Yes, far far better. I can't do it, otherwise we'd probably cosleep full time. My husband sleeps with her on her floorbed part of the night a few times a week. They also snuggle up for morning naps most weekend days, which is adorable. I'd personally say that most children would sleep better with a parent or sibling. Not all.

Yeah, he definitely sleeps better with us, and so do I.

Yes! At least during weeks 3-5 (where we are now), he's much easier to sooth back to sleep and he falls asleep much more quickly when he sleeps with me. Oddly, I also relax way more when he's on my chest - I think it would be disruptive, but I have significantly more anxiety when he's sleeping someplace else. It'd be nice to co-sleep in bed with DH, but he's a super heavy sleeper so for now we're on the couch. So never thought Id be one of those moms!

Same as most everyone else; yes as a newborn, no as an 8 month old. Dude thinks he should have the whole bed and get pissy if we think otherwise.

My LO will sleep 12 hours in our bed straight, however in the crib he's up every 1-2 hours. I sometimes think he just needs his win queen bed!

Yes. It's our fall back when she wakes up in the night and won't go back down. She *always* falls back asleep easily in bed with us. For that reason, she usually spends full nights in bed with us when she's sick. I hate that we get in the habit of co-sleeping b/c I am much happier when she sleeps in her crib, but it is sooo easy, and it makes her so happy to sleep all snuggled up w/ mom and dad..

@Mrs. Tricycle: How do you make sure he doesn't roll off you when he's sleeping on your chest? You're sleeping too, right? That is the only way ds will sleep so far.

Yes, we co-sleep and co-bed for part of the night. I do enjoy my few hours of sleep without her in the bed, but after she wakes it's easier for all of us to co-bed & her nurse as she pleases.

Yes he does and has since he was born (currently 12 weeks old). We try not to and at least not all night but he sleeps much more soundly and for longer stretches. I don't sleep as well because I can't move around or stretch out. I think part of it is because when he sleeps with us he's propped up on my arm and it helps the gas.
