Co-sleeping?

We had J sleeping in his crib until 2 weeks ago, when he had a cold and he slept with us with the humidifier.  Is it bad that I just like him being in there with us?  He has no problems sleeping in his crib and he always STTN.  He even snuggles himself up next to me during the night, every morning when I wake up, he's right there beside me :)

I know I shouldn't feel bad about leaving him in his room, but sometimes I do.  I guess it's just a motherly thing?  Should I just get over it and put him in his crib? Anyone else have the same feelings?

    there isn't anything wrong with him sleeping next you but I would make sure he's not DEPENDING on it to sleep.  As long as he can go back and forth to his crib, I think it's great!

    I love co-sleeping. GK has been in his crib since 9-10 weeks, but we still co-sleep some (if DH is oot, if he wakes up really early and I want us to sleep longer, etc). He does fine in both. I don't see a problem with it if it makes all of you happy.

    Sarah said exactly what I would have posted, so I'm not going to repeat it.  DD still ends up in bed with us after a certain time of the morning.  And honestly, I love watching her wake up....she's so dang cute...at first, she starts off whispering and stretching and then she starts "talking" and rolls herself in my direction, gives me a big smile, grabs my face to kiss me and then giggles.  I love mornings!

    Thanks for the input girls! I feel better knowing I'm not the only one :)

    I really don't think he depends on us to sleep, even in his crib he sleeps until I take his pj's off, even stays sleeping when he is picked up.  DH and I love our sleep too!

    I'm like Bethany...she sleeps in her crib most of the time.  If Wes is oot or I want her to sleep a little later because we want to she comes in the bed with us.  I don't have a problem with it, especially since she'll go to her crib without a problem as well.

    Robinson has always co slept with us.  Now he starts in his crib but about 1 or 2 am he ends up in bed with us.  I'm not going to lie, it's mainly b/c I'm lazy and don't want to have to wake up enough to get him back to sleep and partly b/c I loooove waking up to that sweet little face.  He's so adorable and such a cuddle bunny.  I say if it works and you like- do what feels best!

     He probably is a little too dependent on sleeping with us, but honestly, I could care less.  He'll outgrow it eventually and we missed the bonding time for his first 3 months of life while he was in the NICU.  I think a lot of those theories about co sleeping producing dependent children is a bunch of hogwash...but that's just my opinion :)

    This makes me SO sad.  I am gone every morning before J wakes up (well, during the week at least) and I HATE it....

    You just made me giggle = )  No apologies - I just read that and thought, "man, how nice would that be!"
