I can't imagine not doing it. It's one of the ways that we show our kids how much we love them. We co-sleep with our kids too. I can’t imagine not doing it.

We also have a beautiful newborn that sleeps with us. There is such a strong bond when co sleeping at this early stage of development and growth. This is where the strongest bonds are formed.

You're a mum by 21? It's too early! I would lend a book too on parenting section to you. Anyway, it is good to see that you have close connection with your childrends. I have 2 years old kid and I never let him sleep alone in a room. We shared one bed for 3 of us. I am glad that I'm not alone here. Wow! You’re a mum by 21? It’s too early!

He has his own room - more for his stuff... lol... but He sleeps over at his friends without ANY problems. He is outgoing and compassionate. He is sensitive and very aware of the need for how important the human touch is. I in my opinion, for my son to learn to give comfort to another in the simplest of ways as sharing your sleep space is giving his the RIGHT way of thinking to share the rest of his life with the wife he winds up marrying. We are always dressed yet have a very comfortable acceptance of our bodies. He already knows the plethora of levels a woman goes through on her cycle. because I ask him to work with me during these times. He has a better handle on how to be a man then most men 20 or even 60 years older than he. AND YES, he likes girls! Had his first girlfriend in second grade last year. And YES, we communicate all that is in our hearts. He is NOT afraid of intimacy on an emotional level because he has my support for all the emotions he is not mature in. I love him, he loves me and we are to connected that I think his teenage years will be a breeze compared to many parents I see struggling to connect to their older children. I am perfectly happy the way it is for now. He will pull away to be himself when he is ready (which I suspect to be when he hits puberty) just like he did with nursing, potty training and using a fork. He will NOT be sleeping with me when he walks down the marriage isle. Just like he won't be wearing diapers or drinking out of a sippy cup or be unaware of how to use a napkin.

Now I feel that it is time for him to learn to do this on his own again. I'm uncomfortable because soon he will be entering puberty. But everytime we try a night with him alone he cries and cries and just doesn't seem ready. My question is will he be ready eventually on his own? last time it was initiated by me. Or will he go through college sleeping with me. Don't get me wrong it's nice sleeping with him knowing he's safe and sound but I feel awkward about it as he ages especially given our north american culture. Also, I need help with making the trasition. I've tried bribes but he still doesn't think it's worth the tears. single mom. 11 year old son. co sleepers til he was 8 then we moved to a different province when he was 9 and he started sleeping with me (both fully clothed)cause he was really upset about the whole move etc(he doesn’t like change).

My 11 year old will still jump at the opportunity to crawl into bed with me and his sister. We have some of our best conversations when we're all in bed together in the morning. <em>Nicole Dean's last blog post..<a href='http://nicoleonthenet.com/2008/relax-mom-its-summer/'>RELAX, Mom, It’s Summer!</a></em> I like to call it “snuggle sleeping”. ;) We don’t co-sleep every night, but I certainly welcome the kids into bed whenever they need or want a little extra snuggling.

It is funny because I never wanted to be a co-sleeper but when I had my first son I just couldn't leave him in a crib all night all alone and he ended up sleeping with us. At first I felt guilty but then when I met more moms that did this I knew there was no reason to feel bad. We totally enjoy co-sleeping. We have co-slept with all our kids.

With that being said, dd does sleep in our room, but in her own little bed.
