What is normal and perfect for a human baby is to feel it's mother's body heat and breathing. There is nothing normal about separate rooms or baby monitors or sleep sensing devices. I think that you might be interested in the research of anthropologist Professor Sarah Blaffer Hardy and SIDs researcher Dr James McKenna (among many). I have co-slept with both of my children and have never had a night of sleep deprivation. In fact I have enjoyed and continue to enjoy it. I have two happy, healthy, secure and confident little boys. The elder has transitioned to his own bed without any drama. And, yes we do have an active and deeply satisfying sex-life (though I have to admit I am much more interested now that I am no longer breast-feeding). I hope that helps. All the best!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
