Love your post. I co-sleep with my baby and did with my son too. My husband didn't like it and still has a fit sometimes about it. But my gut tells me is the right thing. It just feels right. I continusly check on my baby at night to make sure she's breathing. I also still check on my son who's 8yrs. If it were up to me i would still have my son sleep with us but my husband won't. I let my son fall asleep with us and i then take him to his bed. Almost every night he climbs back into our bed cause hes scare. Co-sleeping with my children gives me a sense of security.

I do wonder what it is that dads object to. Luckily my dh is far from objecting even though I'm sure it has caused him a little inconvenience at some point. I think he likes the intimacy with the kids.
I can't imagine missing those lovely moments when your kid stirs from sleep [age 2] and whispers to you "I used to eat bees." ;-)@sharim09 you are not alone. 85% of children [under a certain age ... sorry I can't remember which age it was when I read this some time back] will sleep with their parents part of the night.
So many moments like that at bedtime or when waking that I'd have missed.
My arms LOVE to wrap around something small and warm at night :-) My husband is about 6'3" and not wrappable. :-)
