Co-sleeping or Crib?

[BillysWife]

Just wondering what you all do and what your opinions are on this issue. Nehemiah goes to sleep in his pack n play ( we don't have a crib right now) but lately has been waking up between 12-2 every morning and spending the rest of the night with us as he will not settle down unless he's with Mommy. Some say this is great, others say he's wrapped around our finger and it will be a hard habit to break. Personally, I love having him next to me, sleeping babies are so sweet, and the way he cries at night he obviously needs comfort. He's also been teething which could be part of the problem. Any advice/opinion? What do you do?

Personally I feel like you are doing the right thing. I am not for scheduled feedings and trying to get your baby to sleep all night. If your precious little one needs comfort comfort him. ( Which I know you are doing.) If that means having him sleeping with you than I see nothing wrong with it. He is not doing this to be obstinate or anything he just needs some extra security. If he gets to be five years old and is still sleeping with you than I'd say you have a problem. But for right now I think you are doing the right thing. Keep on loving your precious baby
