Co-sleeping in our bed.

I see no reason why cosleeping is bad. Did you know 80% of the world's poplulation cosleeps? Yep they have also been doing it since the beginning of time. So when did it become a no no?

When my child sleeps well we all feel better! She slept 11 hours last night which was a first for her in over a week. She has been only getting between 7 and 8 most nights. Of course she started in her room in her toddler bed and then slept with us from about 3am on but she slept in because we were! 

So this might be the start of a beautiful thing. I mean if I get 9 hours then we will all be better cause that means I am getting enough to have energy through out the day. Plus the issue of her taking over the bed is null when I have my pregnancy pillow. She can't roll over it and it keeps her in the area we want her! Plus she is on a growth spurt and has molars coming in and having us with her makes it easier to fall back asleep when pain wakes her up.

Plus,  Avi has no problem sleeping in her own bed when she needs to.  I know that Going to sleep in her own bed and napping there is what she needs to know how to do and she does that great. But if she wants to sleep with us and our own sleep is not disrupted or if it can better like it was last night then I am all for it! Plus it we have spent the morning as family eating breakfast and hanging out together on our bed. It has let us have good family time as well.

So I say if sleep is what you need get it anyway you can! You will live longer and feel better. Take it from my happy and non cranky child sitting beside me munching on Cheerios.
