My first one slept with me til he was 4, I was 17 and obviously single at the time so it was no problem for either of us. My second child didn't like sleepign with anyone she loved having a whole bed to herself even from birth on lol. My 3rd one I breastfed and on top of that she used the breast as a pacifier so I didn't have much choice there lol..she is 15 and still will get in bed with me to snuggle but quit actually sleeping with me every night by the time she was 3. My youngest he's adopted so at 6 weeks he slept with us because he knew something was dif just wasn't sure what. Then when he was 11 months he almost died so I was afraid to have him out of my site even in sleep. Well now he's 5 years old as of oct 23rd and still sleeps with us. I love it but at the same time we are ready to have our bed back. So sometimes I pull out a foam mattress and sleep on the floor by the bed. I've tried getting him to but he wants no part of it. He wants to sleep with me or my husband or my oldest daughter. We have tried dif things to encourage him to sleep in his own bed. We've even tried dif beds..toddler..twin ..dif blankets..same blankets..music, nightlights u name it. He's gotten bigger and I just don't sleep well anymore. Iget up in the mornings feeling like i was used as a ball in a baseball game my back hurts so bad. My husband and I haven't been able to snuggle in bed for the last 5 years and I miss that.Cause he has to sleep between us. Any suggestions? I am really thankful for this thread because i've been searching all over the net to find out answers to this question.
