To ask who you sleep next to?

[Porcelainskin]

Have 4 month DD in my room and DH moved to the spare bed indefinitely. His choice but I encouraged. Been about 6 weeks so far and no talk from either of us of it changing. Is it very unusual or more common than I've been led to believe?

DH and if he’s up very early the cat nicks his side of the bed.

I’m so surprised that so many of you sleep with your children, I only ever slept with my kids when they were ill. I can’t remember ever sleeping in my mum and dads bed but did go in Sunday morning for breakfast with them.
Don’t think there anything wrong with co sleeping just was not for me I like my space but have managed to sleep with dh for decades but as we have got older have gone from double bed to king size then superking.

Any way sweet dreams to you and who every you are Snuggling up to tonight!!

Currently snuggled up to a box of Pringles. DH is either in the spare room or on the sofa with the dog. Our youngest is two

He's up at 5am for work and I just can't bear the alarm waking me and / or the DC so this is how we roll 3-4 days per week and have done since our eldest was born four years ago,

Still fancy the pants off each other but it has made me realise that a shared bed is a ridiculous idea! The queen had it right IMO

Always ddogs and dcats
And so many pillows

With my 3 yo dd. But she is the only one who tolerates my snoring.

The cats. And that suits me just fine!

Snorey McSnore.

A man whose superpower is snoring so loudly it slays all known evil.

My husband sleeps on side ,my 4 year old d's sleeps the other usually on top of the quilt hugging my leg whilst being upside down ... I actually love co sleeping i did it with the older 2 children until around 2 , they went straight into sleeping in there beds with no hassle , I'm not moving ds though he's so cuddly and warm up miss him when he goes and he's our last (husband doesn't want a fourth i would love another)x so totally normal don't put pressure on yourself xx

No one - separate rooms for me & DH - he snores & I toss & turn - have conjugal visits in his room - win win 😉

When I was wee I had 2 single beds in my room, one for me, one for my mum. Then when my brother was born she moved into his room.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who sleeps with my dc, I thought I was the only one. Dd is 8 and she's always slept with me since birth.

My sister did this. She encouraged her husband to sleep in the spare room and then got so used to it she wanted it permanently. The problem was he saw it as permanent too.

My DH and I have slept in separate beds for about 3 years now. It works for us. He is a light sleeper and I worry I keep him awake. He starts in my bed and then most often gets up and gets in other bed. If he’s really tired he will go straight to other bed. We have just had a baby (2 weeks old) and now we do shifts. Baby in next to me. I sleep with baby for 5 hrs DH sleeps in other bed and then we switch. It means everyone is getting at least some sleep.

The dog, he takes most of the bloody bed up. Wake up 1/2 hanging off the bed, while he has the rest.

Next to DH, I have a 6 month old and I've never co-slept. Not yet anyway!!!

We had an absolute rule that we were in it together. I breastfed all my kids and did all night wakenings but, occasionally, I needed a back hug from my husband while I did it. SIL and BIL took separate rooms for about 5 years. Each to their own! We’re all still happily married 20-30 years later.

My 4week old DS. I currently sleep on the couch with him in a bassinest swivel sleeper. I'm up and down so much with him that it just makes sense for now.
DH is in our bed and our DD goes in to him if she wakes early or has a bad dream.
Once they are up at 6ish then I hand over to DH and get an hour or two in the bed.
DH would happily swap to the couch but DD would then want to be up and playing early every day.
Once DS is in a bit more of a pattern with fewer wakings we'll move into the bedroom with DH.
We did similar the first time round and it helps to know this isn't forever. Speaking with both SIL's they did they same with their kids.

DH and the 2 dogs. We got a bigger bed for more room and the dogs just stretch out more and take up more space. I could never share with a baby or child (but understand completely why others do!)

Dh slept in the spare room or with our toddler when dd2 was born.
Between frequent wake ups, snoring (both the babies and mine) co-sleeping and breastfeeding DH wasn’t getting much sleep while I could feed, rock the girls and put the back to bed and not of been awake enough to remember doing it.

Both of our girls (now at 3 and 6) sleep in their own rooms in double beds so one of us can join them and get a decent rest when they wake up.
Rarely ever for miss 6 unless she is unwell but the other one wakes up at 5am so it’s good to have a big enough bed to convince her try to snooze on (it doesn’t always work but I can wish!)
Dh and I sleep together again and take turns getting up for Dd2.

Thge cat if I'm lucky, she likes to sleep on me and although it is cute she manages to press on my bladder.

I sleep between my 18 month old twins with my dog at the end of the bed.

Single mum though. DH had to go...no room for him

My dogs. DH has his own room. I would hate to sleep with another human.

My bf on one side and my 6m old son other side. Either bedside cot or co- sleep. It works for now (EBF), will change at some point but we all manage to sleep this way.

I usually sleep on my own in the house somewhere away from dh's horrific snoring.

Next to DD6 and half under DDog 9.
