At what age does this become inappropriate?

[mibid]

I get very warm in the night/night sweats and I'm also prone to thrush, so I sleep naked and have done for years now.

Live alone with DS aged 4, who also likes to sleep with nothing on. He would never wear clothes if it was up to him (day and night, it's a battle).

He often comes into my bed in the night, sometimes to cuddle up and sometimes I don't even realise until the morning.

At what age does this come inappropriate? Im very conscious of this.

I don't think it should be up to the child to decide. We bed shared from birth and we always wore nightclothes so it would never become an issue.

I hasn’t once occurred to me to not sleep naked with my dc. One is also a naked sleeper and we occasionally share a bed, neither she nor I feel this is weird in any way.

Until either of you feel uncomfortable or no longer want to. I wouldn't say there's a set age as adults and children are different.

It's not something I'd ever feel comfortable with personally though that would also include with clothes. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it if you are both happy to continue.

Like PP, I always wore a tshirt since I stopped breastfeeding - we coslept (cosleep) so it would have been impossible if I didn't! I just continued wearing one ever since so now i would feel weird not doing. But its definitely a personal thing. Always worn big granny pants unless I had company anyway.

My DS wears pants or shorts and tshirt pyjamas. He fell asleep naked after a bath once (cuddled up in towel while he dried properly). I woke up with his bum right in my face so it became a rule then 😂

But that's my choices based on my experiences. It's not weird until you think it is!

I co- slept with my dd till she was 10 (for Reasons, don't come at me). I sleep nude, but did start covering up for the last couple of years. I don't remember this being a conscious decision, it was just instinct as she neared puberty. I wouldn't worry about the school thing, and I think 4 is very young. 8 feels to me like the age for barrier dressing!

Ok so if this was a dad posting this would you all be saying it’s absolutely fine? Mums with sons, dads with daughters?

I stopped sleeping nude really when ds was born in part so I could respond quickly if needed without having to get dressed first and because I sleep with the window adjar so it gets cold. I just wear a very loose light vest top and loose breathable shorts without pants. I wouldn't have an issue being naked around ds especially while I'm still breastfeeding but I think when we get to the point where we're talking about respecting your body and bodily autonomy then I think there would be a natural reduction in nudity around the house to go with that. But every family is different and some are just more naked than others. I remember seeing my mum naked and not being weirded out but my dad wouldn't have been naked around us from much earlier. I think when you're the opposite sex from your child I'd be inclined to stop being completely naked a bit earlier but I'd still have no issue in wearing little clothing like underwear if that makes sense. Skin to skin is still beneficial for older kids too.
