As for me sleeping with Micah, i knew from day one the risks of sleeping with an infant, but i couldn't help it, the closeness you feel, just watching him sleep, i loved it and if i had another kid I would have done the same thing, as i said before he don't sleep with me everynight, just when he wakes up in the middle of the night i put him in bed with me for comfort cause that's what he is use to.
Heck the doctors even told me not to put him on his stomach when putting him to bed, but i did and he survived. He slept longer that way.
I bet all you ladies are wonderful parents we just do what our motherly insticts tell us to do, and i am comfortable sleeping with my child i also love to rock him for hours just looking at him, while some of my friends just stuff a bottle in there kids crib to shut them up when they wake up in the middle of the night, or put a baby to bed crying, I can't do that! I love the closeness that i have with my son and he knows that to, when he's not feeling good or falls and gets a bump the first words out of his mouth are Ma-Ma, and that my friends makes me feel good. My mother raised us 3 kids the same way, sometimes all three of us were in bed with her, but we all still have that closeness with our mother today. My mother never let us cry, and if we got up in the middle of the night, you bet she was there to comfort us. I give my mom alot of credit raising three kids by herself cause my dad was no help he worked two jobs and was never home with us. Plus my mom had a parttime job when we attended school.
As for the Yuk, i don't have to worry about that one, plus i wash my bedsheets twice a week cause i also sleep with two dogs, i have a community bed!
