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. :):)
