How often do you co-sleep?

8 year old, never.

6 year old, maybe 3 times a month when he has a nightmare (or claims he does and I'm too tired to care).

On vacations where there are two queen sized beds, we are more successful at getting everyone sufficient sleep if DH and I split up and each sleep with a kid. This has been true since we had two kids to split up.

since 4 months through 18 months. he got a full size bed at 18 months. still comes into our bed every couple of nights- we dont even notice anymore. on those morning I usually wake up with a chubby hand on my face and him snuggled on my shoulder. Hell be 4 in January. Loves his bed but also likes to cuddle. Both parents are very affectionate so it isnt a surprise. even sitting on the couch he normally has a foot on one of us or is holding my hand.

We cosleep often. Child is 4.

Hate on us. Call us names. I never thought I’d cosleep a single night, but it works for us on many levels. We’re both professional parents from non traditionally cosleeping cultures.

Absolutely never. Not even on vacation. All threads about “I can’t sleep” revolve around co sleeping.

Age 5. On weekends. He calls it a slumber party and gets so excited

When they were infants, we pretty much broke every rule in the book. Cosleeping about half the hours, and in either a swing or rock-and-play the rest of the time.

Now they're four. Mostly they just cosleep if they're sick or having nightmares. A few times a month.

Every night! Kids go to sleep in their beds and then wander in and cuddle during the night. We have a big bed and can all sleep like this. They’ll grow out of it eventually and DH is from another culture where this is normal

Age 5 months. Every night. It’s the only way I survived. The cat has taken over the bassinets. No point in chasing her out..,

Never. Baby always sleeps in their crib, kids sleep in their own room.

Every night when they were babies & toddlers. Made life so much easier. Plus the snuggles were great. Zero regrets.

Rarely. Only when child woke up, got scared, and came over (ages 3-5). But I don't think cosleeping is bad, it just doesn't work for me. Both my kids roll around so much and I wake up so tired and cranky from being woken up and moving them over either. Cosleeping is very common in some other countries.

never

I might lie with them if they are scared, hurt or sick. A couple times in their short lives.

Vacation and then occasionally (like once a month, or sometimes for a stretch of several days but then not again for several months). I actually would be fine with it being more frequent, but DD mostly only wants it at bedtime— she never wakes up in the night unless she’s sick or very rarely when she has a bad dream. So she never has a reason to come to our room at night. If we cosleep when not on vacation, it’s because she’s having trouble falling asleep and one of us stays with her until she’s asleep and then just stays for comfort. Her bed is big enough that this is not uncomfortable for us.

DD is 4.

My DD wakes up every morning at 5am and relocates to our bed, where she proceeds to take all of the space
