Please vote Smile

I guess if you don't have a baby you can vote for whatever you did with your last.

I voted sometimes because I think you're talking about bed sharing.
The official definition of cosleeping? Always.

Define co-sleep? Baby in the bed not “in anything”? Does a bedside bassinet like halo or other cosleeper thing count? Or just baby in the room?

Yes, baby in my bed, every single night. I'd never manage otherwise. Coslept with every single one of my babies including the twins (used a king sized bed for that).

(Now baby is 18 months and sometimes makes it the whole night in the crib.)

I voted no, what I mean is baby is never in bed with me, I would however use a bedside bassinet…

Yup! 4/4 since the day they were born until about 1-2 years depending on child!

And yes DH and I still manage to be intimate multiple times a week.

Why the heart? 🤨

Baby in room doesn't count, bedside bassinet I'm not sure could probably go either way.

I move my mattress to the floor once baby is moving. Otherwise baby is always between me and the wall (no gap).

I did when the babies were breastfeeding. I slept while they ate.
But as soon as they stopped breastfeeding they were in their cribs .
So some were for shorter periods than others

I put baby into crib and go to sleep, when baby wakes up to nurse I bring them to bed with me and nurse lying down, then fall back asleep bext to them til morning or til next feed etc
Once theyre no longer breastfeeding (about a year) then no more

I sleep with the baby in my arm. She’s not randomly on the bed next to me like some people think. I’ve done this with every one of my kids, and it’s the natural way that mothers instinctively slept with their babies
This way, I sleep through the night

No, not at all. We sleep in cuddle curl position with no blankets near her head. She's 6 months old and literally doesn't move an inch. Neither do I. It's safe and natural to sleep in a safe and natural way.

In the beginning not. I started because I wasn't sleeping snd couldn't cope. Now my baby eats while I sleep

Co sleeping is the way to go. Amazing for baby and amazing for mom.
