To co-sleep or not?
So DD used to sleep in her crib, in her room till about a month back. Since the last month though she's been sleeping with us. What started it was when she fell ill due to a bacterial infection, and the fever just wouldn't go away at nights, scaring me a lot. Took a week to heal but after that we had family visiting, and then we went travelling, so she slept with us again. Well, basically we'd put her to sleep in her crib and then when we were ready to sleep we'd bring her to our bed. Now we're back in Dubai and weaning her back to her crib, but before I go through the not-so-easy process, I've been asking myself: do we really have to?
She sleeps well with us, doesn't wake and doesn't need to be put to sleep. And if DH and I can have "our time" where we get to spend some time together and then bring her to bed just as we are about to sleep, it's an arrangement that works for us. And to be honest, I like snuggling up to her. BUT the only thing that's keeping me from taking this decision is when does it end? I mean, when would she be ready to sleep back in her room? And how hard would it be? Especially if we are planning another child in a couple of years (well, [b]I'm[/b] planning anyway :o) and I don't think I can handle having 2 in bed with me.
Besides that, though I'm from a culture where co-sleeping is the norm rather than the exception, I've never been a fan till we tried it. Even now, I don't know what we really should do.
Please tell me someone else has had to make this decision too :o
