  Lots of people use the term cosleeping to describe both sleeping in the same room as LO and sleeping in the same bed. Technically, though, bedsharing means sleeping in the same bed and cosleeping refers to sleeping in the same room. It just makes things a little clearer to have the distinction.

  It's a new technicality.  Back when we started doing it with DS, it was still called co-sleeping and I'll continue to call it that.

  that's what i thought. i would not call sleeping in the same room co-sleeping. to me, co-sleep = same bed.

  This is what we think too.  But...they add new things and new terms all the time.  I know it's supposed to make it more clear but IMO it makes it more confusing.
