No Cry Sleep Solution by Elizabeth Pantley. One of the only good books that has sleep through methods for co-sleepers.

sleeping in bed with your baby is a very natural thing to do, especially when you breastfeed. Its called co-sleeping. 'Never sleep in bed with your baby' is recommended when you smoke or had alcohol but otherwise it is completely fine to do so and enjoy it :)

lol. how could someone even do that? even when you're sleeping, you're aware that your baby is there. of course "they" said that like in the 70s? most cultures do sleep with their babies.

Its wonderful to breastfeed i loved it, but now my girls are 4 and 5 and they are still sleeping with me and my hubby lol although we love it/ it sometimes puts a damper on the "other things" now if they fall asleep in our bed we move them and oh boy are they getting heavy !

My girls both did that And now its hard to get them out of my bed Zoey is just about 4 and Addy is 15 months they both like to sleep with me. I want my bed back. But it is nice when they are young I b/f both of they for a year. so try to stop or they will be stuck in your bed and it is hard to stop I had to get my 4 year old a tv she is better now we are still working on Addy.

After the baby falls asleep try taking your nipple out and see if he will stay asleep. I went thru that with my 2 girls for awhile, they would only sleep while nursing but eventually they were able to sleep on their own. It is a hard time. Sometimes my husband would take the girls downstairs between feedings and then would fall asleep on their own. It was a good start to sleeping on their own.

that happened to me, but i loved it!! Breastfeeding while laying down is the most awsome comfy thing for u and your baby!! :) It's the easiest way to get them to sleep and the really need the skin to skin contact with you! As they start breastfeeding less, they won't do it as much and they'll know when they're ready to go to sleep on their own. If u find that he/she is just sucking for nothing and sleeping, just put ur pinky in the side of her mouth and take your nipple out. It's great that you can sleep with her, isn't it the best! ? !

No, but enjoy the time you have with them. It goes by very fast.
