I just got chewed out for cosleeping??
Okay.
For 2 weeks I made my son sleep in his bassinet and he would only sleep for 45 mins at a time! I started putting him in bed with me and he sleeps 3 to 4 hrs! I was literally a mess and so emotional from not sleeping. Not to mention I was getting irritated at my own baby because I was so tired! Now we both sleep wonderfully and get to snuggle. I know the risks and it hits close to home since my bf lost his daughter but I also know we both need sleep. How do you bring a newborn in to this world that was inside of you for 40 weeks and just throw them in to a bed by themselves? It works for some but it didn't work for us! He won't always want his mommy snuggles and kisses so for now I'm gonna soak it up! I slept in my parents room till I was 6 and while I won't let him sleep in our room that long I'm perfectly ok with just taking it day by day!
we've been co sleeping for 6 months and its what's best for US. just like its best for YOU. no, its not for everyone...just like breastfeeding isn't for everyone and the CIO method isn't for everyone. people like to bash others for doing things that they don't personally agree with. there are actually tons of benefits to co sleeping that aren't ever discussed because people are too set in their own ways. but all that matters is that your child is happy and healthy and loved.
Yeah, I don't even read comments about stuff like that-cosleeping, extended breastfeeding, baby wearing, vaccinating, etc I usually end up annoyed so I don't bother lol to each its own
@bianca_rose, @lydia007 @sabreycastro1996 there's safe ways to do it but I don't think ppl realize that
@sabreycastro1996, a stupid mom group on fb! I see people making comments about it here too all the time!
I cosleep and she's 4 mos now, if I didn't neither of us would ever sleep.
That was uncalled for, whoever take uncalled for words to say. I love co-sleeping. It's what works for us too!
co-sleeping is Amazing! I love it. My daughter has been sleeping in bed with us sense the day she came home, and she will for as long as we say. she sleeps through the whole night. plus I'd rather have her close to us instead of sleeping alone. :)
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
@amber188, exactly. I have 9 month old twins and I've found a way to make it work since they were born. Each month or two, I find another way since they become more mobile. Now, I have a queen and twin bed together so it's large as hell but just the mattress on the floor. My husband and I sleep with them and wouldn't have it any other way. I say, if baby is happy and safe, we all do what's best for ours.
