I didn't start off co-sleeping so DH and I would have sex after I put LO to bed. Now that I co-sleep, I'm having a hard time finding time to do the deed. When do you and DH/SO have sex?
When she's in her bassinet for a nap or the first sleep stretch of the night. Also, don't forget you have other rooms in your house (shower?)
Shower..lol. That wouldn't work for us...too dangerous and complicated. I would use LO's room but that room is too close to DS1's room and I don't think he wants to hear us on the futon while he's trying to sleep. Thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks for the replies, ladies. I think the hard part about using other rooms in the house is that I don't want my 14 yr old to walk in on us while we're on the couch or other common areas of the house. I don't really want to have him experience that.

Duh...why didn't I think of that? I'll have to put a lot of blankets b/c DH has a bad back but this could probably work. Thanks.
we've had lots of time to figure it out-- we co-slept with ds for 2 yrs and now we're co-sleeping with dd.
couch.
also we sometimes put LO in the swing (in her room) instead of the bassinet.
Couch, office, really anywhere in the house
Sometimes DD will sleep in her crib for the first part of the night (7pm till about 3 am) so we have the bed to ourselves and make the most of it!
I think it has actually spiced things up a bit trying out new rooms! lol!
Good call. That would definitely be a limitation.
We only co-sleep when DH is gone. We're a military family. So we don't have an issue.
DH or I would for sure end up with a broken bone somewhere if we ever tried this.
