Question for those who co-sleep with their child

[JennJubie]

I did for a short period with my son. He was impossible to get to sleep in his own crib. I think the first time that I got him to successfully cio he was 9 or 10 months. I honestly co-slept with him because by 3 am with no sleep, it was my sanity. But I was not an APer. I was a first time parent, I was exhausted and it was the only way I ended up getting any sleep with him.

Now my daughter, on the other hand, I never co-slept with. She slept for six hours a night from the day we came back from the hospital. I never brought her into our bed because I didn't want to develop that need in her.
