what actually is co-sleeping?

[mummatoone]

just wondering as its mentioned such a lot here

it means having your lo sleep in your bed with you.

no idea its one of those sayings i put with 'self weaning' and 'playdate'

but now i know! crossed posts with phd

so if my LO sneaks through into our bed each night early hours - do I class this as co-sleeping.

He goes to bed in his own room but 9 times out of 10 he ends up with us

now that is classed as 'pain in the arse'

ha ha ha ... youre are soooooo right!

still unsure?!

I'd say you are co-sleeping for part of the night . We are big co-sleepers. Love it

Part-time co-sleepers if you want a fancy name. Otherwise known just as you've described it: "comes into our bed for part of the night". But that doesn't put you into a club, had you felt the need for it.

Sleepless night for parents

I still have a bruise from last time the little shitbag darling deccide that my bed was his for the night. I would have slept in his but for the lovely eau de piss smell.

I love him really..... can you tell that he is asleep in his tonight?

We go to the extreme here-I climb in with dd . That is true PITA co-sleeping-for her, not me!

It means having bub in the same ROOM as you not neessarily the same bed. We had both dss in our bed for first couple of weeks then into crib by the bed, then into their own room by about 5 months. Current guidelines are to cosleep to about 6 months, the idea is that it cuts the risk fo cot death as the baby is stimulated by your breathing etc. Also makes nightfeeds feel like less of a chore and is a lovely, gently transition from tummy to bed.
