We have an 8 1/2 month old DS who co-sleeps with us. We think it's a lovely arrangement and is working well for all of us. We didn't have a preference either way before he was born (co-sleeping or crib-sleeping), rather, we drifted into it because his birth was horrid and I wasn't too mobile at all after, in fact, needed help to get out of the bed to go wee at night so getting up several times a night to feed and change wasn't an option for us so we drifted into co-sleeping and love it, because we all get to cuddle and also because I'm still breast-feeding and so don't have to get up a million times a night now. It's like the self-service petrol station in our bed... DS half-wakes, pecks at me until I half-wake, roll over, he latches on (still mostly asleep), pops off when satisfied and goes back to sleep, as do I. We all get brilliant sleeps.
So I'd like to as how any of you other co-sleepers (and I know you're out there ) decided to or drifted into co-sleeping, and what do you love about it? For that matter, is there anything you don't like about it?
