Shall I continue to co-sleep?

[childrenatyourfeet]

DS is 2.5 and we co-sleep sometimes when DS wanders into my room in the middle of the night. DS stays at his dads a couple of nights a week and ex is insisting that I get DS to sleep in his own bed because DS gets up in the night and ex has a struggle to get him back into his own bed. This results in ex's np and children being disturbed - he (ex) lives in her house.

Ex also mentioned something about it not being good for DS to co-sleep - don't agree.

I've done as ex asked but now I'm wondering why. DS still wants to cuddle up to me and I don't want to tell him he can't.

Would you be putting DS back in his bed in the middle of night ?

Interested to get some points of view.

hi i dont no if this would help but i am trying this i have a 21/2 yr old and he has slept in my bed from being a few weeks old my hubby sleeps at the bottom of the bed cross ways and me and my son sleep at the top i have got him a new bed and put it right next to our just with a little gap so he wont fall out and when he goes to sleep i lie on my bed and put him in his and hold his hand until he goes to sleep and if he wakes up i just rub his hand or head to re sure him im still there it seems to be working but ur child will go into his own bed at his time when he feels safe enough to do so knowing you are still going to be there when he wakes up beleave me i have alot of experince i would of had 7 boys but 2 passed away and i have had all 5 of them in my bed from being a few weeks old and they are now 16yrs 15yrs 8yrs 5yrs and my youngest 2 nearly 3 yrs and they have done it all in there own time hope this helps xxxxx good luck
