I can find a lot of books and articles on the benefits of co-sleeping for attachment and bonding, for parents getting more sleep, having happier babies etc... But I can't find anything that talks about the more practical side. So I have some questions for other families that co-sleep with their kids:

1. What age(s) are the kids that you co-sleep with?

2. How do you get them to sleep? Do they fall asleep somewhere else and you move them to your bed?

3. Do you put them into your bed awake and they fall asleep on their own?

4. How do the kids who co-sleep at night handle daytime naps? Do you have to lie down with them? Where do they nap?

5. Have do you handle having to leave your kids with someone for an overnight situation?

6. Do you have problems with the child waking up when you get up to use the bathroom, or one parent has to go to work much earlier then the other?

Thanks so much for everyone's input!!
