Hi all,

If you missed Pat Gima's post on family bed/co sleeping, go back and read
it. It was the best I have ever read.  The questions she asks parents who
are concerned about co-sleeping are perfect.  Her own childrens' stories
were "right on."

My little family is extremely close.  We are "in tune" with each other most
of the time, and I KNOW the family bed (when they were little) is a factor.
Even now, when my daughter comes home from college, she will want to snuggle
up a bit with her old parents in bed and talk. The best investment we ever
made was a king-sized bed.

We got so much flack and so many questions with the third child, who had no
crib at all OR ROOM of his own!! "BUT WHERE DOES HE SLEEP?????" they
worriedly asked.

Listen to your hearts, sweet mothers.
