[quote=Anonymous]Is there a way to get the closeness with your baby at another time so that you and your husband can get private time together? While it sounds like your husband is maybe being a little insensitive to why co-sleeping is important to you, I can see where he is coming from if he feels that you two are just not connecting right now.

I co-slept for a long time, too (about 9 months), but then moved DD into her crib in her own room. It was hard at first but ultimately it was really good for my mental health and for my relationship with my husband, Just being able to sit up and talk to each other when we went to bed, it kind of normalized family life for us and let us get back to something that felt like us -- the couple we'd been before having a baby.

DD would wake up around 5am in the morning, usually in need of a diaper change. I'd get her and bring her to our bed, and still get that snuggle time with her in the morning for a couple hours. It was enough for me. It might be worth trying just to see how you feel, especially if your child will sleep well on his own. It will also make bedtime easier for you later when he's not a baby and needs to be able to go to bed on his own.[/quote]
