I co-slept with both of my kids and now even with my grandkids sometimes and it’s not laziness…it’s living!

Same here. Our first and for the most part our second kid slept in their own cribs and only in the morning would we bring them in to bed with us for some cozy hang out time. Our third – well she isn’t such a good sleeper and if she won’t settle after waking up screaming in the middle of the night and if we can’t get her to calm down and go back to sleep, she comes in to bed with us. We just don’t have the stamina to wait her out. It is a crappy sleep when she is in bed with us, but better than no sleep at all… Reality parenting for sure.

I think you have to do what is good for your family not what any book/movie etc. promotes. There is always a back story to every family. Great post, I enjoyed reading!

We are guilt of this, although we put our 2 and 4 year old to sleep in there own beds, sometime during the night they both climb into our bed.

I have four, and I definitely LOVE the term “reality parenting!” I would often have my babies sleep with me in our bed, especially as newborns, but I soon found we all slept better with baby in a bassinette, and then we all slept better with baby in her own room. My philosophy is “do what works until it doesn’t work anymore; then do something else.” Good work advocating for flexible, guilt-free parenting! It’s the only way to do it with babies!
I wrote this post about parenting babies and how it’s just about survival; I think you’ll like it! :)http://twofunmoms.com/2014/06/dear-first-time-parents-of-babies-youre-doing-something-wrong/

First time mom here and I’ve co slept since day 1 even in the hospital… it just felt more natural to do that and way easier to breastfeed I’ve never fallen too heavily into sleep even at the slightest peep im aware she’s there 🙂

I have a 7 month old who sleeps with me. I have tried to get him to sleep in his crib but he wont. I have tried letting him cry, soothing him, singing talking you name it. If he is in his crib he is awake every 45 minutes. If he sleeps with me it is 3 hours a time or more. So if momma wants to function then baby sleeps with me. Thats the only time I get any sleep. So anyone who wants to challenge me on this one bring it on lol! Whatever works for you wonderful parents who are just trying to get a good nights sleep!
