How many of you co-sleep?

About half my friends co-sleep/slept with their children (I'm talking all ages, not just babies) and half don't.

I'm wondering whether this is a reflection on the rest of the county?

We've chosen not to, and it's been challenging. I love the idea but it doesn't work for us at all in practice. I'd love to know what you do/have done?

I co sleep with six week old son. DP has moved into spare room. It's the only way everyone gets some sleep.

DD2 is 8 and she still sleeps in with me. Her choice, she has her own room but chooses not to use it. I'm happy for her to stay as long as it's her decision.

Also something I’ve always puzzled about with co sleeping.. maybe someone can advise. If you’re breastfeeding, do you just use one boob all night? So do you wear a pad and a bra on the other side? Otherwise where does all your let down milk go?

Well it works is all I can say . Cosleeping saved me from going insane because I wouldn’t have slept otherwise.

Go with what works for you OP. Ignore everyone else and focus on what is best to keep you going.

I never did, then babies slept through the night and I was wide awake at every little noise. I was gutted but am a ridiculously light sleeer
