    • Plus: it was easier re: breastfeeding-- you just have to role over at night. Minus: Hard to get these little squirmy bodies out of the bed once you bring them in.

    • OP here: if you co-slept, how old was your dc when you stopped co-sleeping?

      • 17 months. she decided that it was time. she wouldn't settle in our bed and we put up a pack and play. she took to it in minutes. (no CIO, etc.) before that she wanted to sleep next to me. it actually was days after weaning that she stopped. I can't imagine BF without cosleeping, actually. would be really really hard at night.

        • OR: I should mention that if she wakes in the night i still bring her to bed with us, but that's only happened twice in the last month. I think that's normal amounts...

    • co-slept half the night when dc would wake up in wee hours, cry and i was too tired to deal with it. older dc is now 4.6, sometimes crawls into our bed in the early hours, but mostly doesn't. they've always rotated and slept horizontal so that is a big pain.

    • This is one of those things that falls under the "There is not a right or wrong, it is just what you can live with" rule.
