Hello my name is Tiffani, and...
I'm a cosleeper.
How did this happen? Ben won't sleep unless he's with me, laying next to me in bed - and I know its a HUGE no-no, but its the only way we are both getting sleep.
Crapp.
Re: Hello my name is Tiffani, and...
At some point you have to do what you have to do. I got a whole lot more relaxed when I started losing sleep and couldn't function.
It could just be a phase for Ben.
This. While I couldn't do it myself, I don't judge those that do. You have to do what works for you!
Gold star J!
...and yes, I'm one of the b!tches that gets fired up about people having sex with their kids in the room/bed.
Indeed.
And make sure he's out of your bed by the time he's 12.
love is for every her, love is for every him, love is for everyone
You hit the nail on the head Jennie
I did it too until we transitioned to the crib... and I still will sometimes. But, I propped him on the boppy pillow and put his feet towards me so if he started to slide down, I'd wake up, and DH was against the edge of the boppy so he had the physical reminder of it being there also. But, now he moves so darn much, I can't use the boppy, and I don't trust myself to sleep with him flat. AND he's trying to roll to his tummy, and DH isn't home every night, so he'd basically be able to roll off the bed and I wouldn't know it.
You do what you have to when you need sleep.

I'm telling you, I think some babies are just meant to be co-sleepers. J was, but D was not (despite DH's efforts to try with her). But, don't worry, J was out of our best, for the most part, by the time he was a year old. :-)
