I know this sounds like an odd question but I see so many things on co sleeping. I personally am not at all against it, if it works for you then great. I tried it with ds when he was ill around 8 months as he wouldn't go back in his cot but he hated it, he screamed and writhed about to get free until I sat up with him but still didn't want to be put down. He went through a bad bout of separation anxiety at around 11 months and again wanted cuddling but would never just lay peacefully in our bed and be cuddled. I'm not complaining as ds is ususally a fab sleeper now and settles himself in his cot every night and sleeps through. But my friend has a 22 month old who has never slept through and every night ends up in her bed and she recently made a comment about my ds being strange for not wanting to cosleep and said it may mean he hasn't bonded with us. I was heartbroken at her saying this as I always assumed he was so independant at night because of his trust and bond with us to be there if he really needed us which of course we always are. So is my ds strange??? Does he not love me???
