Guest guest Posted August 12, 2000 Report Share Posted August 12, 2000 Ditto on the not sleeping together. It has probably been 2 years now. We are happily married and we both get plenty of sleep. When we slept together I was constantly waking him up because he was snoring. So I didn't sleep and neither did he. We manage to have time to ourselves when Ds is a sleep. Just not in our bed. LOL Laurie Re: Cosleeping << Right now DH sleeps in the spare bedroom with our 2 yr old. and I sleep in our bed with the baby... I have been wondering how good this is for our intimacy and marriage. DH tells me I worry to much! but yes we both enjoy share sleeping.Leah, My husband and I haven't *slept* in the same bed for 8 years, for lots of different reasons but not because we have babies in bed with us or because we have a lousy marriage that's NOT IT lol we just like it that way, it hasn't affected our intimacy (obviously we have five kids LOL) or marriage at all !!! just wanted to let you know there was another couple out here that doesn't sleep together.Rhonda<A HREF="http://www.alladvantage.com/go.asp?refid=GVA469">Need some money?

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2000 Report Share Posted August 13, 2000 , The argument that one wouldn't get any sleep if they were getting up to feed the baby at night was what drove me to co-sleep with my second. Unfortunately, she started off sleeping at least 5 hours at night without nursing, so it wasn't such a big deal. Then she wanted her own bed!! Now she sleeps 7-9 hours!! and she's only 6 months old!! and she's been so insistent that we finally broke down and started her on a bit of solids--here I got lucky though, after just a few bites she was satisfied. I agree that co-sleeping is safe too--a nursing mom just doesn't sleep deeply knowing that the baby might wake to eat and you want to hear that before the baby wakes the whole household.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2000 Report Share Posted August 13, 2000 My first never slept with us, but each after him did. Welove having Lucas in our bed (especially since my new baby present from my husband was a new queen sized mattress (we had a full size) with the 'do not disturb' feature meaning when one person moves the other hardly feels it. I get up to use the bathroom at night and Lucas doesn't even jiggle as I climb in and out of the bed.) We hardly hear a peep out of him at night as I wake before he is even fully awake usually, the only sounds are the cute ones he makes as he tries to find my nipple in the dark, LOL.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2000 Report Share Posted August 14, 2000 We coslelpt for a long time. Once Drake got a little bigger and more active in sleep, Dh was worried about rolling over on him so Drake and I usually slept together in a full sized bed in his room. Now, I nurse him to sleep and fall asleep there myself for a few hours and then go off to my own bed. I love cosleeping and look forward to doing it again with the next baby!

That's interesting......I would think he would have been more afraid of rolling over on the baby as an infant...not when baby is moving around more.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2000 Report Share Posted August 15, 2000 I think that if you two are both happy with the arrangement then it is great. If one person doesn't want to do it and the other insists, then it would definately affect your marriage relationship.
