When did you stop

Skin to skin contact?? DD and I still do skin to skin regularly. She's BF but even when not nursing, we lay together skin to skin, and co-sleep the same way. My mom thinks its weird? I know when they're newborn it's good for them, but does it lose its importance/benefits just because they're older?
She's 10 months.

DD is a year old now. We still shower together and a lot of times she's tired afterward and we nap together naked. She loves cuddling up to Mommy skin to skin.

I guess I still kinda do it with DD. she won't keep her jams on and when I sleep, I sleep topless. When she comes into bed and cuddles with me, I don't get up to put a shirt on, I just go back to sleep.

My son will be two next month and still cuddles on my chest..ill he wearing a tank top so my upper chest lol. He's been weaned for about 4 months now.
I don't see anything wrong with it.

I think if you are doing it with a 10-year-old... it gets a bit weird... but a 10-MONTH-old... no... I co-shower with my 10-month-old and he loves to just cuddle skin-to-skin. It's soothing for a baby. Don't listen to anyone who tells you it's weird.

I forgot about showers. When we shower she wants me to hold her and she lays on my shoulder as the water runs down her back.

Thanks ladies. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one who thinks this is fine! My mom and I have totally different parenting styles. I'm super AP and she was/is ..... Not mother material. I'm usually pretty good at ignoring her but some stuff gets under my skin.

My 4 year old still loves skin to skin. Sure, it's evolved over time. But even sitting next to her rubbing her bare back makes her smile. I think we always crave that contact with people.

I don't just cause its cold out. I wonder though, if I threw a blanket over us and selpt skin to skin at night, if she would sleep better.
