Re: [ozmidwifery] re co-sleeping

[Joy Cocks]

My oldest grandson is so used to co-sleeping that, when he was about 5 or 6
and we were discussing sleeping arrangements (must have been staying at my
place or something) he thought that his stepfather could sleep with me in my
bed!  I don't think so!!

RE: [ozmidwifery] re co-sleeping

[nunyara]

Hi all!  Just a word on the co-sleeping issue.  Was told not to when I had
my first child who is now 30 but tiredness won me over in the first couple
of weeks so into the bed she came.  Same thing happened with second child 12
months later.  On and off they co-slept and, even now, when visiting and
staying over (although they only live 5 minutes away), they jump at the
chance to sleep in bed with Mum when Dad is away working.  My grandson
always sleeps with me when he stays as does my almost 4 year old grand
daughter.  My youngest daughter also co-sleeps with her children.  Never any
problems other than the occasional falling out of bed but the mattress on
the floor does the trick there! 

Cheers Ramona

Yes!  So true.  As a permanent  P/T night-duty person, I hear the "don't 
want to get him/her into a bad habit" far too often.  I find by night 2/3 
they are so tired, they think that co-sleeping is a possibility and I 
encourage them fully!

Mine still manage to find their way into our bed, and the youngest little 
possum is 4!! But at least they don't wander in until 4-5am now.

It's not necessarily the midwives preventing co-sleeping. I often hear 'the
baby's been awake all night. Would go to sleep and wake up as soon as I  
put

him down.'  When  suggestions are made to co-sleep, they don't want to
"start bad habits".  a lot of women are influenced by their mothers,
partners etc,  who don't approve of co-sleeping., thank God the influence 
on

breast feeding isn't quite as strong as it used to be.  It's strange, these
little ones are expected to sleep on a hard, cold surface after been
snuggled up listening to mum for months.   If I remember right a 
co-sleeping

policy was short and sweet. Mum had to be sedative free, the bedside up and
bed as low as possible.

Re: [ozmidwifery] re co-sleeping

[Jen Semple]

Hi Pinky,
 
I missed the show, but I found the transcript (love the ABC) http://www.abc.net.au/gnt/future/Transcripts/s1058920.htm
 
It looks like it came off quite well... sounds like everyone (inc. the doc that runs the sleep school) made it clear that they support co-sleeping.  Don't know about the quote (by the doc) "Women seem to develop this kind of oestrogenic fog that they move around in." though- what the?!
 
Well done to you & thanks for letting us know about the show.
