Not going down the route of co sleeping , didnt do it with my daughter and she has no problem sleeping in her own bed but my OHs niece on the other hand has co slept with them and she still cant sleep in her own room,not good considering they have just had another baby!
I do sometimes. During the day all his naps are in the bad with me, however during the night he sleeps in his bassinet. Right now he doesn't mind, he sleeps fine in his bassinet at night. He does like to know someone is there though. Like, if he stirs at night and I dont reassure him that I'm here then he will wake up completely, but if I say something to him or rub his hand then he goes back to sleep fine. I'm scared to cosleep because OH is all over the place at night so I cannot put him between me and OH and I definitally dont want to put him on the end of the bed!
I co-slept with Seren but she was also usedtogoing into her crib and cot too (she would go in there at the beginning of the night then comeinto bed with me when she woke). She sleeps in her own bed, and doesn't stir all night. If she is feeling unwell or wants reassurance she will come into our bed but this is very rare, and I treasure these snuggly moments.
Cally has been in my bed since she was born, it just felt natural to have her there. I am not concerned at all that she might want to stay in our bed, if she does stay in longer then Seren I am fine with that as before I know it she will be all grown up and gone. Last night Seren came into the family bed at 2am,and I had her and Cally snuggling up to me, it was fab.

I didn't cosleep with DD as I didn't realise it was safe too, nor commonplace.
I coslept with DS from birth, but then eventually started putting him into his crib or cot at the beginning of the night until he woke for his first feed. Then he came into bed with us for the rest of the night, made breastfeeding so much easier.
He stopped coming into us altogether at about 9/10 months, which is when he dropped his early morning feed.
We co slept with Adam for the first 2 to 3 weeks but now he sleeps in his cot, Coby still comes in to us over night, want to try to put a stop to that but its a hard habbit to break him of now
i did it with my first wish i didnt as it was a hard habbit to break so didnt with my second or third i've made it a must to get out of bed and breast feed in the chair then put him back down in his cot as i feel and sleep alot better knowing his safe in his own bed.
It was hit and miss with me and DS. I read so much when I had Sam and my head was in bits and I didn't think my DH agreed with it. He soon came round though when he realised he got more sleep! So I always put him in his cot at first and then when he woke up during the night I'd bring him into bed When he was about 9 months old I think he started to feel a bit claustrophic as he couldn't wriggle around very much so after a feed I'd put him back in his cot and he would settle much quicker. Saying that, the last few weeks he seems to be having seperation anxiety so torn between bringing him back into bed or seeing if it's a passing phase.... He even cried for the first time ever when I dropped him off at nursery today! ;o(
