I co sleep when needed, ie if he has a unsettled night and my oh has work in the morning, also if he is unwell he will come with us and in the mornings once my oh goes to bed he gets in bed with me for cuddles and a lay in 🙏🏼 lol never had any problems. When he was first born we just popped him on top of are pillow and he was like prince and the pea he loved it lol.

@chels313, I would never do it with my OH in the bed. But I sometimes do it once he's gone to work if Harry wake early & often doesn't re-settle in his crib. So I surround myself with pillows so I can't roll and let him sleep next to me! :) xx

I co sleep when it's early morning like @daisysmummy said. Sometimes he settles back into his cot and sometimes he doesn't. Plus I'm selfish and feel better having him next to me then in his cot xx

I co sleep if it's the early hours of the morning and she won't settle again after a night feed xx

For me it's never been something I wanted to do. I'm married & share my bed with my husband. An old colleague of mine said she hadn't slept in the same bed with her husband in over 2yrs & I think that can't be good for their relationship! lol Both my boys have come into the bed at times when poorly or in the morning once the husbands up etc but other than that I like that they have their own space to sleep. I can see why a lot of singles parents do it. And I don't think it's a bad thing as long as it's done safely & the child is transfered to their own space at a reasonable age. My husbands sisters son is still often in her bed and he's 13 early next year & personally I think that should have stopped.

I've co slept from the start but also put him in his crib at the start of the night but when I breastfeeding I just used to keep him in with me it was easier but now he's older he stays in his crib until he wakes up then comes in with me x
