My DS is 10mo and from 6mo we put him to sleep in his own cot in his own room. At some point during the night he wakes and we bring him into our bed. We never made a conscious decision to co-sleep, it just happened naturally. DS sleeps better, DP and I sleep better and we're all happy with the set up. Despite this we get lots of negative comments, MIL especially likes to point out that at best we'll live to regret it as DS won't ever sleep alone again and at worst, it's tantamount to child neglect as we could kill DS .
I just don't understand why all the negativity about co-sleeping in the UK. I'd love to hear how other co-sleeping parents have got on. How long did you co-sleep for and how did the transition to their own bed go?
