So, we don't have to worry about her keeping us up or rolling out of bed. (She's between us. So, that helps too!)Ely's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02815962905468444915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034308127116264187.post-54346846589302143672010-05-22T17:56:49.399-07:002010-05-22T17:56:49.399-07:00I totally love the idea of bed sharing but have a ...I totally love the idea of bed sharing but have a few problems: my daugher moves so much in her sleep that it prevents me from sleeping well and she goes to bed much earlier than us and I am afraid she would roll out of the bed. How do you deal with these issues?Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06104884488198873465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034308127116264187.post-16761325075097539512010-05-17T18:42:26.828-07:002010-05-17T18:42:26.828-07:00I totally agree!

I actually talked myself into thinking I would sleep better with her in her crib. I was mistaken. The fear of her not waking up and the way I missed having her in my arms was too much. Miss Ava hasn't slept in her crib not one night and I wouldn't change that for the world. I love knowing that she is so confident that I'm there for her that she doesn't even bother to open her eyes to start nursing. I love being the first one she sees in the morning and being the first one she smiles at. I love being the first one to kiss and snuggle with her. I wouldn't trade any of it...not even for a full comfortable night's sleep.gvloboshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10123117696164586850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034308127116264187.post-41471772190653554622010-05-17T07:24:27.299-07:002010-05-17T07:24:27.299-07:00Yay for bed-sharing!

It does seem like it could place a strain on a marriage, but like you, I feel that it's done the exact opposite for us. I love, love, love weekend mornings when we're all 3 awake just laying in bed. It's so sweet. I do know it's not for everyone, and I also know we won't do it forever, but it works for us now. Oh, and laying down and nursing is the best, isn't it? So much easier than fully waking up, truding upstairs, then trying to fall back asleep afterwards.Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04059564320945844977noreply@blogger.com
