Our youngest visits in the middle of the night maybe once per week. Initially this is nice but man does she wriggle! And not just while she is awake. After she falls asleep I don’t know if she is jogging or doing prep for joining a rodeo, or what?!? We certainly never sleep well with her with us. Usually after half an hour she can be escorted back to her own bed, or carried back asleep. Sometimes she goes from our bed to her older sister’s, and luckily the older one can sleep through anything.

When they were little they were in our bed more. I think it is good bonding time especially when they’re still breast feeding. But as they get older there are plenty of other opportunities for bonding that don’t involve waking up with little feet in your face.

You can be a much more effective parent if you are not tired. Less tired => more sex => happier parents => happier kids => better family. Well that’s a nice male perspective on it anyway!
