I love co sleeping with my 16 month old, we want another child soon, how can we make this work when there is another baby? Please answer from personal experience.To whoever posted to get that baby into her own room....Remember I love co sleeping and so does my hubby and child. We have something so special. Our goal is to make it work, not change it.

I have a neighbor who co slept with her son til he was 10 and she nursed him til he was 5yrs old, I consider this sickening. she has an almost 2 yr old and another one on the way, I think she is selfish for not wanting to put the 2 yr old in her own room, so shes gonna have her hubby, a 2.5 yr old and a new born in the same bed, I told her i know her hubby wasnt liking it ( 2nd marriage ) she said she didnt care. SHE DOES this to make herself feel that shes needed all the time. Its time to get that baby into her own room. My kids ( 2 and 3yrs old ) know automatically its 730pm ( their bed clocks ) they go to the stairs and wait to go upstairs. This is ONE battle I never wanted on my hands. NOW is the time to train her to sleep in her roomSo what will you do when your child is 12 and wont sleep in their bed ? I dont care if you love it, past a certain age its wrong

You are going to regret it when the children turn 4 and 5 years old. They are never going to want to sleep in their own bed and they are always going to want to sleep with you. Your husband is going to end up on the couch because he can't sleep in his own bed. Your marriage is going to suffer. Put the little one in its bed or you are going to have to call Super Nanny to save the day. It's not going to work.

My oldest son we co-slept with until he was 2. I loved sleeping with him snuggled between my husband and i but when i got to be about 6 months preg. with my second child i got a little sick of his feet kicking me in the giant belly. we started working on getting him into his own bed. after i had our second child however he liked sleeping with us and the new baby. he was very gentle with his brother and a huge help too. as long as your bed is big enough for all of you it can work well. my oldest is a very heavy sleeper so the crying baby didn't wake him. if your child is a light sleeper you might want to think about getting him/her ready to sleep in his/her own bed though because having a cranky sleep-deprived toddler on top of your own sleep-deprived self and a new infant might be too much to handle.

We didn't want our son to move out of our room (he's not quite 5) and into his own so we put a toddler bed in our room which didn't work, so we've ended up dismantling our bed and putting the mattress on the floor, with a single mattress pushed up against it, my husband sleeps on the single, the older child in-between us and the baby on the outside, with a safety rail so she doesn't roll off.*begin rant*For those of you saying that the kids never go into their own room, my eldest who is now 11 decided when she was 6 that she would go into her own bed. And my other 2 will go into their own when they are good and ready. As for it killing a marriage, what a load of crock!!! If anything we have more spark in our marriage than a lot of other couples, because the bed just isn't an option if you get my drift...*rant over*

Excuse me, but the toddler needs his own bed and his own room. A newborn should also be in his own bed. Parents have been known to roll over and suffocate them.

Either consider getting a co-sleeper that can go against the side of the bed or a guardrail. Put the toddler between you and the rail, the baby between you and dad. I wouldn't put them together, my toddler is not aware enough of her body when she sleeps for me not to worry about her overlapping the baby. And virtually all the reported infant deaths when the child was in bed with the parent, the parent was either intoxicated or under the influence, or very heavy (over 300 lbs).
