C is for co-sleeping

I am by no means a "crunchy" mama. I proudly use disposables (no washer and dryer) and I can only practice attachment parenting during non work hours because I'm a working mom. I also happily eat fast food and am kind of lazy. That being said...I cosleep. I am a single mother with a queen size bed and a very clingy/snuggly baby. I LOVE how snuggly he is and that he needs me...because someday he wont.

I have a fancy crib for him but it's been filled with boxes and blankets since he was born. I put him in it once for a nap and he did fine...but honestly I love him sleeping beside me more. I can feel when he stirs or whimpers and feed/tend to him in the middle of the night before he becomes inconsolable without ever actually having to get out of bed myself.

I am hyper aware in bed. Plus i tend to be a tummy sleeper which means I don't budge when I am asleep. I do fall asleep with him in the crook of my arm which works great...except that he is a sweaty monkey.

I plan on cosleeping with him until he either gets tired of it or until I have to share the bed with someone. It's wonderful waking up to that tiny face :)
