Amen to that! I found this post tonight in your fav past posts. I’ve heard many times in reference to cosleeping that “it cant be good for the couple”. But the only thing there’s less of is worrying about the baby. Well said. : )

The best cosleeping story I ever heard took place at the dinner table where the mother in law asked her daughter in law where they *ahem* if the baby was in bed. Without missing a beat, she said “Oh, that’s what the dining room table is for”. MIL shut up after that. ;)

Hi there – thanks for this post! We just posted a video about co-sleeping and one of our experts definitely hits on the co-sleeping = no sex issue! Glad to see there’s a different side to this argument! Would love you to share your thoughts in the comments of the video …will you come take a look?? I don’t want to clutter your comments with link — but come by parentsask.com!

Sleeping with our son when he was an infant was a matter of survival. He just did not sleep. And as a result neither did we. We put him in bed with us to help ease him back to peace before he spiraled too far away from that blissful sleepy state.

Even then sleep was a journey long and far away. There was no sex. Are ya kidding me? We didn’t have that kind of intimacy for a year and a half. And that’s the truth. It didn’t hurt our marriage. We just agreed silently that getting through “this” was far more important.

With our daughter? She was so happy in her crib from day one that she only came to our bed when she was sick. Which was almost never. And she slept through the night at week 5. Sex returned as soon as I was able.

The bed has nothing to do with sex. Stephanie, you have this one spot on.

We co-sleep with our 10 month old and our sex life isn’t as active as it was before the baby but that’s not because of where she sleeps. We are just too tired and she doesn’t sleep for long stretches without us. But for those times when we do have time we have a guest bed now and that works perfectly.

OK, stepping outside of my comfort zone… I agree completely! And, by the way, who said that sex was only for after you went to bed every night? My Dad told me when I was engaged to have sex with my husband often, even when I didn’t feel like it and to keep it fun – he said it was the best form of marriage therapy that he knew of. He was right – we’ve stayed together through some very, very, very tough things – partly because of Daddy’s advice, partly because we’re both stubborn enough that we wanted to make our marriage work no matter what. And now, I think I’ll step back into my comfort zone and go read your post about 6.5 hours a night :)

I’ve always hated the comments we’ve gotten when people hear we co-sleep. I’m not sure what gives people the right to question my sex life for one. And for two, why would they even care!?

Thanks for posting about this, even if it is outside that comfort zone!

Thanks for going out of your comfort zone…you did quite well! :) While we did not co-sleep with our two children (aside from them sleeping in a pack n’ play next to the bed for the first 3-4 months), I agree with what you have written. Co-sleeping is not the cause for a lacking sex-life, it is not bad for you or baby… Time to get creative people!
