First I'll admit I am a lurker and haven't kept up with all the digest recently but I must comment about the co-sleeping thread. IMHO--as a mother of 4 who slept with all her children. Could I suggest, as we advocate child lead weaning in reguards to BFing maybe we could do the same for co-sleeping? My children are 10, 8, 5, and 2 with the 2-year old still in our bed. She is beginning to ask to sleep in her room and takes most of her naps there now. She is moving at her own pace which seems to be appropriate. All the others moved as they were ready and know they are welcome back whenever necessary. With all these personalities in my house I pick my battles very carefully and where we sleep doesn't seem as important as the fact that we do sleep. :):) Ava
