I said when I was pregnant with my daughter that I was not going to let her get into the habit of sleeping with me. When she was a newborn, she slept in a bassinate beside my bed. At about 6 months I started her in her crib in her room, but I was constantly getting up to check and make sure she was still breathing, so if she woke up, I would rock her to sleep or put her in bed next to me. I am a real light sleeper, so I didn't worry that I would lay on her or anything. As she got older she started sleeping in her bed all night, but she got into the habit of needing the tv on to go to sleep or getting out and getting in bed with my son. Or she will cry and ask me "I sleep with you mama?" I really don't mind if she gets in bed with me most nights, but my husband hates it cause he says she kicks and pinches him all night in her sleep. He gets mad at me if I let her, but I have gotten so used to her being in my bed that it worries me when she isn't. How do you handle this subject?
