echaos,
co-sleeping....i never even heard of it...to be honest.
but for us, when the kids came, we would sleep with them in their room to put them to sleep, mostly for the bonding and keeping the monsters at bay....
when they had nightmares, they would come into our room (bed) to sleep....no problem with that, except i wouldnt get a good nights sleep with them kicking and moving, but you can tell they felt very safe. so i didnt have a poblem with it
alot of times i have read the stories, gave the back rubs and sang the songs until they fell asleep, but then i get...
"can i sleep in your bed?"......its not a habit yet, they are usually scared so i let them...
then the fall right asleep then when its my turn for bed...i carryl them into their beds, kiss them goodnight and tell them i love them...(they usually just want to cuddle for about 1 minute after the move, until they fall asleep again)
we are moving, and our master bedroom is huge, which i am so happy, and i am actually thinking of getting cots for those nights when they just are plan scared, i can roll out a cot and have them sleep write next to us, but in their cot.....
co-sleeping...i think its a wonderful thing for bonding....i have not problem with this at all, i think it just makes the child feel safe, and isnt that the point of all this?...
but i will close with.....that i am glad this confidential.....DSS would be at more door in a second allowing my kids to share my bed at anytime....lol, but i feel i have to do whats best for them, even if DSS doesnt approve it.
