[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The anti- cosleeping is an American thing. I am from another country and co-sleeping is the norm. We still have sex with our husbands, but often don’t sleep together. My DH and I have not slept in the same bed much since our first was born. We have sex plenty(at least 3 times a week) and we have 3 kids. Once the baby stops waking up at night (usually around 2), we will move him with his Sisters so he is not sleeping alone. We always co-slept for as long as our kids wanted/needed it (right around 2/2,5). It not an issue in our relationship at all. I feel horrible for the kids that are left alone to cry. THAT is not acceptable where I come from.

So OP... if the issue is the lack of sex then HAVE sex with your DH before bed... if it’s a better or principle (which I really don’t get), then try to change your husband perspective. Kids are not meant to sleep alone!!!! Why should a grown man not want to sleep alone, but a baby yes?!?! Makes absolutely no sense to me... [/quote]

You do know that most kids who don’t cosleep are not “left alone to cry” right? The current recommendation is room sharing. Baby in bassinet or crib, parents in the bed.

OP, you’ve already gotten a lot of advice. I just wanted to say that I’m sorry you feel that you couldn’t bond due to not breastfeeding. I also wasn’t able to breast feed, and I know the relentless pressure and shitty comments that come with that. The good news is that it’s bs. At this point your bond is established also. [/quote]
