So I am commonly asked do I have to stop co-sleeping in order for my child to sleep through the night. And that´s a great question. And the answer really is no. You don´t have to. If a family is co-sleeping and even nightnursing throughout the night, everybody is happy, mom, dad, and child. And everyone is getting good sleep, then you don´t have a sleep problem. So you can continue to co-sleep. But if you are having a sleep problem and you are awaking up a lot and your child is waking up a lot and you are co-sleeping, then a lot of parents, they are practicing reactive co-sleeping. I am only co-sleeping because I have no idea how to get my child to sleep and back to sleep other than bringing them into the bed and nursing them back to sleep, which is a very different question and problem. If you want to continue to co-sleep, you have to remember that you just have to teach your child to put themselves to sleep from a wakeful state so that you don´t have to go to bed at seven o´clock at night also. So if you have a baby, you can get a co-sleeper in arm´s reach, attach it to your bed or bring a crib next to your bed and put the baby in it awake and soothe them and stay with them. And then, when you come back to bed later in the night, you can bring them into the bed or bring them into the bed, feed them and put them back into the co-sleeper. So you really don´t have to end co-sleeping in order to instill good sleep habits in your child and in your family.
