It's always wonderful. When T was a baby I did it for the same exact reasons. Not because I feared for his safety, even if I did. Not beause I am a gypsey hippie girl by nature and that whole family bed thing never sounded all that bad to me. But because it made me happy. I loved to lay next to him and hear him breathing and making little person noises. I still like to hear him breathe. There is nothing on this planet more soothing to me than my kid gently snoring. And, for the record, I still enjoy cuddling with my mom, as well. Once last summer my mother was taking a nap and I went and curled up on the bed next to her and dosed off. I awoke with my mother on one side and my kid curled up next to me. Perfectly heaven! Cuddling with your kid never gets old. It’s always wonderful.

My kids see the our bed as something to play on. I can't get them to sleep on it for the life of me. Enjoy the bliss while you can. You are lucky. My kids see the our bed as something to play on.

You are a woman after my own heart. I do love to co-sleep. And my second favorite thing is nursing in the mornings while the covers are still warm. I'm having a hard time knowing that part of our relationship will end someday soon. Wonderful post. You are a woman after my own heart. I do love to co-sleep.

Especially now that I have gone back to work. It seems like I don't get enough time with the Harrypotomus anymore. So, if I can have him there cuddling up to my side as we read before bed, I am quite happy. Harry's Dad Fortunately, Carol, I like having him there, too. Especially now that I have gone back to work.

My child won't sleep in her bed often (sometimes, but not often). But I don't really ming at all, whether she climbs in in the middle of the night, or starts there. She's warm and sweet, and yes, we're keeping her safe from the lions. Beautiful. My child won’t sleep in her bed often (sometimes, but not often).

One thing to think about though: a good marriage is very beneficial to your children and keeping that special night time for just you and your spouse is very important, I think, and fosters good relations with your spouse, thus benefiting your children. Children are happy when their parents are happy together. I know what you mean though. Snuggling with our babies sure is special! That was a nice post!
