Am I being too laid back with sleep?!

[drapingivy]

4 year old starts off in own bed but ends up in with us any time between 4-6 every night, goes straight back to sleep cuddled up to my husband and sleeps through until alarm goes off for school or as late as 9am on weekends. I co-slept with him for a year and then he went in his own room and then this sort of pattern ever since.

Currently co-sleeping with my second baby, husband and 4yo now go in spare room.

Should I be stricter? I've always had the attitude they're only little once and I want the cuddles. But sometimes I read threads and I worry I'm not doing the right thing.

Why are you asking, is your husband not happy with the arrangement or something? Personally I think it sounds awful and kids are in their own beds in this house, but it’s not my house it’s yours, and you’re entitled to do whatever works best for you and your family.

We have a 19 month old and he sleeps in between me and his dada every night :) His room is just set up as a playroom and where the changing table is right now and I see no reason to change this anytime soon 🤷‍♀️ I breastfeed and cuddle him to sleep every night and when his dad isn’t working in the morning he stays in bed and cuddles with him in the morning so it works for all of us and is really nice bonding time too!! They grow up so fast so keeping them close and getting all the cuddles whilst they still want them is the best way 🥰

Aw that's lovely. They will feel so loved, kee going as you are OP
