Bed Sharing Reviews

in our culture bed sharing with your child is frowned upon, in other cultures it is actively encouraged to encourage the bond with your child. I personally think that it is a dangerous thing to begin doing unless you have a double bed and are in there on your own. It is soo easy to roll over when you are asleep and in the early days ...  Read the complete review

This is probably the one thing that every prospective parent says that they won't do and I was no exception. There was no way I was going to have my little baby next to me in bed. Apart from the obvious concern of 'What if I roll over and crush it in the night?', I knew that it could affect my relationship with my husband because if you want to ...  Read the complete review

This is one thing I never thought I'd do but ... My little boy was born by emergency caesarean and so, for the first night in hospital I still had a catheter in etc and couldn't get out of bed. I was on a ward with other mums and whenever my baby cried I had to buzz for a midwife to come and lift him out of his cot for me. I fed him ...  Read the complete review

As a parent myself this is a difficult situation for all parents. Do you let them into bed with you? We have all been through this,child wakes in the night and comes into parents room and wants to get into bed with you. What we did from an early age,and still do now if my 6 year old daughter wakes,take her to the toilet then back to ...  Read the complete review

I guess that whilst pregnant I was adamant that baby would sleep in her cot. My sister had little ones and hadnt had a good nights sleep for six years! When little one arrived my sister passed down my nephews moses basket and from the first day she came home this moses basket moved from room to room with us! Baby loved it and I had no ...  Read the complete review

The subject of bed sharing is one which I have no personal experience with, but I do know a friend that has had a great deal of problems with it. I have a 14 month old little boy, who currently still sleeps in a cot, so I don't have the problems that my friend has. Her little boy is aged 2 and will keep climbing out of his bed and come into his ...  Read the complete review

I have just read a few reviews on this subject and I have to admit I'm one of the naughty parents who encouraged bedsharing. When my husband and I bought our daughter home for the first time we were adament we would get her into a routine as soon as possible. She slept in a moses basket in our bedroom and we started getting ...  Read the complete review

Bed sharing is it normal? In western society? NO However it is normal in many countries. I was a single mum and bed shared with my baby boy as soon as we came out of hospital and even shared the bed in hospital much to the disgust of the nurses. My son I'm proud to say was a contented baby slept all night every night and because ...  Read the complete review

My eldest daughter who is almost 2 years now, always hated her cot. For the first 3 months or so she slept well in her own space, but after that she always wanted to come to my bed. I would let her sleep on the bed and when she had fallen asleep I would put her back in her cot. We did this for about a year. Then at one year we decided to move ...  Read the complete review

When my girls were born I didn't want to have them in bed with me incase in the night I rolled on them and hurt them or worse, as I'm quite a deep sleeper. I have to admit when they were tiny a couple times I fell asleep with them in my arms but this was by accident as I was so tired. A lot of the time I would just hold them till they fell asleep ...  Read the complete review

I wouldnt say my daughter shares our bed with us, but she has been known to wake up in it a few times! She has her own bed which she goes to sleep in on a night with no problems. She normally wakes up at about 5am. Rather than have to get up with her at such a stupid time, she comes in our bed, and we get a few hours extra sleep, I dont see ...  Read the complete review

Im so not a fan of kids sleeping in their parents bed i personally think its making a rod for our own back ! Iv never once had any of my two children sleep with me, They have had a set bedtime routine since they were newborns which consists of bath bottle story bed. Both my children go to sleep at 6.30 in their own beds. Also even if i wanted to ...  Read the complete review

I personally dont like to do this. With both my children they have had a set bedtime from about 3/4 months old. My eldest goes to bed at half 6 so that he can watch a dvd in bed for an hour then we turn it off and he goes to sleep. My youngest is only 6months and he has his bottle at half 7 then straight to bed. This is usually time enough for my ...  Read the complete review

I have 2 young children and have never understood why parent allow their children to share their bed. I think it's really important to get babies into a routine when they're young and learn that when it's bedtime, they have their own space and mum and dad have theirs. Having said that it is each to theri own but you hear of stories of ...  Read the complete review

I have never understood the purported virtues of bedsharing. Although Id never tell anyone how to bring up their baby, or indeed how to organise sleeping arrangements, I cannot understand what longterm benefits can be gained from sharing your bed with a baby or toddler. I know that in the short-term we all take drastic measures to save our sanity; ...  Read the complete review

Bed Sharing? Don't go there! I made the mistake of bringing my son into bed with us when he woke up in the middle of the night refusing to go back to bed. That was 14 months ago. He's now 20 months and we are trying to get out that habit and it's now become so hard. My husband and I are permanently exhausted. My son sleeps through once in a ...  Read the complete review

Ok - so hands up who has actually co-slept with a baby. Bet you thought you were the only one didn't you!! Well you'll be surprised to know that many parents sleep with their babies they just don't tell their doctors, health visitors or in-laws about it. Everything is kept hush hush; parents have to "confess" that they sleep with their ...  Read the complete review

personally speaking learning to lie down and breastfeed was the only thing that helped me to continue breastfeeding through the hardest times. (i can imagine it being especially useful for mums who have had c-sections so the dont have to get up out of bed as often and can get plenty of rest.) bed-sharing helped this furthur. my baby was ...  Read the complete review

I share my bed with my younger two kids all the time. I usually give up and let my boy come in after several battles to get him to stay in his own bed, then about an hour later his sister usually toddles in and i just pick her up and put her in, i think she only comes in because she hears big brother wake up, most nights i'm at home on my own so i ...  Read the complete review
