yl,
yup, it’s always better to not plan for such things. 😛

egghead,
haha, you too ah? but you more far sighted than us la.

helen,
sure will have a night lamp on.
*muak* already given a kiss to her.

milly,
your memory so good? Can remember things happening when you were about 1yr old?
Hope all mamibee’s effort is worth it, and you now very very sayang her.

annie,
clever planner. 😛

jasmine,
better to have choices. I too, if I feel like it, will put her in her cot, but even so, by 3am she would find her way to sneak back into our bed.

allyfeel,
my sister still co-sleeping with her 2 sons, and they are 8 and 11!! Hope your ‘plan’ will work! Do blog about it.

fannie,
ok, will wait for your post.

maria,
see if your plan will work huh? you have 2 smiles, more difficult to resist.. hmm..

blurblur,
either Damien is a macho man, or daddy and mummy are the ones who kick him or turn 360degrees when they sleep. LOL

king’s wife,
at least the girls now sleep separately from you.. aaa but.. when king is away, you prefer to sleep with them too.

sue,
time to upgrate your bed. how are you going to have 1 newborn, 1 todler, 1 daddy, 1 mummy all sleeping on the same queen size bed?

jefferen,
Aaah.. you are like Sue and I, all also half way turn to co-sleeping already. 😛

the diva,
mummy doesn’t want to or Ophelia doesn’t want to? LOL

twin,
see how your plan will work ok? That’s also my plan, but worried it’s going to be another failed plan.

we have two mattresses – 1 king and 1 queen. And both our kids are sleeping in-between us. LOL. Our girl will have the bigger mattress with Daddy cos she move around a lot when she sleeps. And our boy will sleep with me. I plan to move them to their own room when they are about 3 or 4 yo. Hopefully by then they are ok with it. 🙂

Yeah, same here! Yee Ching was sleeping independently in the paypen before 8 months old and co-sleeping with us after 8 months old. Three of us co-sleeping in a queen size bed too and daddy and I had been trained to adjust ourself with her stunt sleeping action! LOL!

I find that I have better rest after co-sleeping with her as I don’t have to wake up so often to check on her! 😛

ivan also used to sleep by himself in the cot up to 1 or 2 months ago, he seemed to wake up a lot in the middle of the night… before, i used to sleep much less coz i always had to go over to his cot and check on him

so i find that he sleeps better when he can snuggle close to us in the “also queen size bed”… it’s a tight fit but worth it coz i can hug him like a teddy 😛

i have been guilty of that too. Like u said, too tired to get up in the middle of the night with every sound and whimper. plus, u can definitely get a better night’s sleep.

Hmm…Damien sleeps in the master bedroom with us. He only sleep on our bed when he’s not well. Somehow he’s not into the idea of sleeping with us, he would always tell me: “i want to sleep in baby’s bed, i don’t want mummy’s bed”…

yah… that’s why don’t ask me why I still co-sleep with our girls.

er…i share slightly different plan from you…tho’ I also try not to let Ethyl sleep with us on a same bed.

It was tough and I was already planning what to write and that shall be a special entry for her on her birthday. 🙂

Anyway, enjoy the closeness of co-sleeping! 🙂

Ya..me too enjoy having to co-sleep with my son. I can caress him, watch him, smell him and feel his warmness. It’s so peaceful.

A lot of people tell me it’s not good, but mum said he will grow out of it. Just hope he does, if not, got to get him a car shaped bed…to lure him into sleeping on his own. 😉
