We didn't / don't co-sleep with our kids/babies but that's partly because I am too frightened that I would roll over and squash one of them. However, with the toddler we have had many naps together in our bed and in hers. She loves it, and sometimes it just what the doctor ordered. So do what suits you and stuff everyone else!Melissa Mandyhttp://www.melissamandy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4361480824395722677.post-64733723826580317122010-07-23T17:23:41.200+10:002010-07-23T17:23:41.200+10:00I wish I had your early childhood nurse - I got th...I wish I had your early childhood nurse - I got the dragonlady who insisted that we do everything the right way which was her way. Mum's advice was better - do what works for you and your child. After 4 kids found out there is no magical formula - what works with one may not work with the rest.

And I am in agreeance with you totally.<br /><br />re fertility - We are your friends for a reason. We care for you, as you care for us. We want to wave a magic wand and "fix" your pain and your problems, and not just child related ones either. But we cant, and we don't know what to say or do to not cause you pain, so we try our best, and sometimes we fail. Whether we share or hide, we do it out of love and respect. We dont know where the line is. Tell us. We want to know. And when we share, know it is because you are our friend and we want to include you in our lives. When we hold back, know it is because you are our friend and we dont want to disrespect you. When we stuff up, which we will, know we didnt mean to, and that we are sorry. <br /><br />Nobody, not even your worst enemy would ever hurt you like that on purpose. Especially not a friend. <br /><br />re cosleeping - sproglet is difficult, and 9yrs old, and still sleeps in my bed more often than not. Believe me, i KNOW its not ideal, I ant him in his own bed, but I also need an hour or two of uninterrupted sleep. And more often than not, that is just the only way I will get it.Epskeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14142572924955344158noreply@blogger.com
