Children in Our Beds
On Facebook’s Circle of Moms, there was recently a heated discussion on co-sleeping. I am still amazed by the number of people who think that sleeping with your children increases the risk of SIDS. They hear it once from someone they trust, convince themselves that their personal experience is the only experience, and their mind is shut unless something drastic happens to open it.
We are co-sleepers. There is no room in our bedroom for a family bed, but we have baby Gabriel sleep with us (the girls are right across the hall - and one of them winds up in our bed every so often, and I end up squashed between too many bodies).
So I’ve decided to put together a co-sleeping section in the Conscious Woman resources. As I work on this, I enjoyed coming across this very funny sketch with Dylan Moran. The last couple of minutes is an hysterical commentary on children in our beds. Enjoy!
