My dd is 4 and I can count on one hand the times she's slept in our bed and then it was because she was sick and I wanted to keep a close eye on her.
How do you and your dh make time for sex, cuddling, and pillow talk?

My situation was kinda weird. My son slept in his own crib until age 1, but the downside was it was in my room. Then when I tried moving him into his own room he co-slept with until he was 2, theeennn....lol we moved into our house and for the longest he was afraid to sleep in his room. For the most part he's in his own bed, but being that dh is constantly out of town I'm always having a visitor.
Quoting Aslen:I'm glad I'm single...
OP, what about in a co-sleeper instead? That way she's int he room, and close, and but IN the bed.
(I cna't beleive I even said that... SOOOO not me)
Is he worried about not getting enough sleep, or is this a control thing?

That is kind of how my DS is. He has his "big boy" moments when he stays in his own bed all night, but most of the time he will start off in his bed then in the morning I find him in ours.

My son never slept in my bed....and honestly it's because when i was younger, I slept in my moms room, then my sisters bed, then on a couch in the dinning room because i was too afraid to sleep in my room ( I was school aged) by the time I was 9-10 I was still in my moms bed cuz we would move and I could never get used to sleeping in a dark scary room...if I did, ALL the lights had to be on...I did NOT want that cycle with my son...but yeah, it works for some, but I've also seen it backfire, personally... Even now I don't like to sleep alone, but I obviously can.

I think parents should do whatever works best for them, I knew prior to giving birth that dd would be sleeping and napping in her bed from day one. My dh would let her sleep on his chest for hrs until I broke that up

I enjoyed much of what I learned about AP, for the most part that is how we raised our kids, just a few things didnt really sit well with me but overall I really agree with the main idea of having a healthy attachment with our babies. We belive in cosleeping(me more than dh), but when our kids hit two they dont have to sleep in their beds, but they gotta get the heck out of mine. My youngest actually had to leave around 18 months because he was a little hater lol. Overall I guess the way I look at it is the bed is ours, and babies can really make bedsharing hard so both of us have to be in agreement about having little ones in our bed. Your baby is so new though, do you think you can talk with him find out the reason he may not want the baby in the bed? Maybe there is something specific that bothers him about the baby in the bed that you can change.
Have you told him that it's easier for you? Is he scared of rolling over on the baby? I co-slept with both my kids, but D was gone when they were that young. Well with Faheem he came home on R&R when he was a week old and spoiled him to death. I don't think he would have let me put him in his crib if I wanted too.
