re: Co-sleeping?

Quoting Mama to William + 1:" My son is 2 1/2 and still sleeps in our room. He's in a toddler bed and across from our bed, now, but ... [snip!] ... when DS was an infant, either. I can't see why your husband would have any issue with it, especially if it doesn't wake him up."

Exactly. I think the reason is, he thinks that if he sleeps in his own room, he'll sleep longer.   Sometimes Hubby just doesn't think things through. And once he says something... he sticks to it until he gets his way. Which isn't going to happen on this one.

I don't blame you. I think compromise is best, but with this it's either the baby is in your room or he's not. And considering you're the one who gets up with him and it doesn't wake him up, I can't see why you should give in.
I breastfed for 2+ years and couldn't imagine having to walk to a different room to do it, especially at that age when they get up all the time. And frankly, I'm still just more comfortable with him being close to me.

I just hope when its brought up again, he will be a little more understanding. I enjoy breastfeeding and having him close to me also. It's just a little discouraging when Hubby is always bickering and whining about him sleeping with us. Today he said he wanted to start feeding him formula... I was like... WHAT? Im the one who feeds him thank you, and NO thank you to the formula.

Im not against formula, we did 50/50 until my milk finally came in, but now that i have successfully started exclusively feeding Little one hasn't had formula since he was 4 weeks old. Even then he only had formula at night. That was when Hubby actually had to get up when i was to drained to get up and make a bottle... It bugs the heck out of me that Hubby wants everything to go his way. I guess he wants me to bug him to get up to make me a bottle lol

Like I said, He isn't getting his way on this. Or the formula suggestion. I just don't know how to tell him. "Oh hey I'm bringing the playpin bassinet thing into the room so he can continue to sleep with us" without him having a heart attack or it starting a pointless argument!!! I don't want any hard feelings between Hubby and I.

Quoting Gibson's Mommy:" I've tried. But he just gets angry and tells me to get over it. But I can't. Sometimes My son spits ... [snip!] ... him to sleep in the room with us. And I haven't brought it to to my Husband. But I sure hope he understands how I feel on it."

Sorry I couldn't imagine that. I keep my babies in my room til they are night weaned because it is easier on everyone involved. I would be cranky all the time if I had to get up, go in the other room, sit there while I nursed, and somehow put baby back in their crib without waking them (and probably failing and having to start all over again) five times a night.

That is like...five hours of sleep possible, not all at once.

Yeah, I just told my Husband to deal with it. And that it isn't fair for me to go back and forth. He just let it go. So i think i won this debate lol
