Co-sleeping

[metawidget]

Co-sleeping makes a lot of sense for everyone's sense of security, for ease of night-time feeding and changing, and all that, but there is sometimes the issue in the icon over there (LJ users: over here).

Thanks to Hyperbole and a Half for including that panel in Allie's lastest story, and for the cheerfully generous permissions Allie posts her stuff under.

I wish to complain about the fact that this is a baby post with no woodgie.

We demand regular woodgie!

Bonus woodgie (taken about a month ago):

Your offering is acceptable to us :-)

Awwww.

lol, yes, the perpendicular pose. Sometimes it means one of us adults heads to the couch.

Our bed is big enough, just, for the 'H' arrangement, and we are the only bed rails, so we've stuck around so far...

Haha, when I saw that, I thought it felt extremely apt and familiar as well. This is why beside our bed we keep a big floor pillow with sheets on it so one of us can be on the floor if the babe is being too much of a bed-hog. Although sometimes it ends up with the kiddo in the Queen bed and us squashed up on a floor pillow, heh.

We usually have a big square pillow about 1.2 Oscars on a side in the bedroom, too, but mostly for daytime naps and stuff (it's harder for him to get hurt falling off a pillow than the bed, and he's still not super-keen on the crib a lot of the time).

I feel for ya... I have a king sized bed, and Kaia still sleeps with me a couple of nights a week, as per our schedule. I regularly find myself being kicked in the back, as she has taken up the rest of the bed by lying sideways. :-D

You don't need a baby for that - my dog takes up just as much space already ;)

But we get more sleep with him wedged in between us than we do when he whines all night wanting to be let up on the bed - which he only does on nights when it's really cold; most of the time when he gets really annoying we kick him off the bed and sleeps on the couch.
