These children still think they can't sleep for themselves, cosleeping has made them insecure. Sure every mother should decide for themselves, but they are deciding for the baby, and then it's good to know cosequences. It's much harder for an older child to learn how to sleep on it's own. That's why I don't like the romantisizing around cosleeping. At least after the first months.

That's a generalising statement.

My child will ask to sleep in her own bed one day. They eventually grow out of it.

I don't mean to offend anyone, but I know at least 5 children who did not ask to sleep on their own, and ended up dependent. You're baby is still young, but eventually babies need help with making the step to the crib.

I disagree with you there. I think that children eventually grow out of everything.

I apologise. I just get a little upset when people insult my parenting ways.

To each their own. <3

no need to apologize, my comments weren't directed towards you! you were just defending yourself, which i completely understand and would have done so myself! you did it tastefully as well so good for you!

I'm glad.

I'd get a second opinion. I breastfed in the middle of the night until my daughter slept through the night at 8 months. I'm sure you baby will be fine
