Jack goes to bed in his bassinet, then when he needs to eat in the middle of the night I grab him and feed him on the bed. He falls asleep there, I move away and sleep too (this is why king size beds rule). This equals 7-8 hours a night of sleep for me quite often, so that's why I do it. He'll sleep in his crib in his room come the time though. I don't care what other people do though. Everyone is gonna raise their kid different than I do, and I'm obviously going to raise my kid in what I think is the best way. We'll never all agree.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11191273585364315666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9398690.post-43531862128310319162012-03-08T09:56:26.532-07:002012-03-08T09:56:26.532-07:00I think people get waayyyy to obsessed with these ...I think people get waayyyy to obsessed with these kinds of things in general (example: writing a whole book about why the way your family does sleeping arrangements is the right way). We are pretty down the middle on how we do most things as parents, and sleeping arrangements are no exception. I nurse exclusively (my babies usually don't get a bottle at all until 8 or 9 months, and this is mostly because I am too lazy/cheap for bottles and formula), so the babies usually sleep with us the first year so that I don't have to get up every time they nurse--we ALL sleep much better and are happier this way. And since we have a king sized bed, an infant doesn't really interfere much--we just shove her to the side:) After that, though, they are sleep-trained to sleep in their own beds, and very rarely do they even try to come get in bed with us. A couple of times a year we will humor a sick or nightmare-rattled kid for a night, but that's about it. Its worked really well for us. Your reasons are good ones, and way too many people put their kids before their marriage, which, ironically, generally only harms kids in the long run.Rebecca Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09468452457991958461noreply@blogger.com
