Co Sleeping With Babies – Not For Me

May 14, 2012
by Melissa Lawrence

Co-sleeping with babies is a very controversial topic! To me, it comes down to personal choice. I chose not to do it with any of my babies. Call me selfish, but I was more focused on the cons of co sleeping than I was on co sleeping benefits, and super concerned about my husband and I getting enough rest so that we could handle our kids during the day.

Getting past the baby phase doesn’t mean you’re out of the woods on this one! Sometimes sickness, guilt, or just plain old exhaustion can make your re-consider sleeping with your kids. That said, I never gave in. One reason? My bed is too small – I have five kids! Find out the other six reasons in this video.
