I never had planned on cosleeping. I was actually recommended it by my pediatrician, a nurse, and the lactation consultant when I was having issues with breastfeeding. I don't see it as a 'marriage bed'. I see it as a place to sleep. We never have sex in bed to begin with(thats so boring
). And it hasn't stopped or hindered our sex life one bit. Having a baby is what hinders the sex life, not the sleeping arrangements. My MIL asked us if we'd ever give her another grandchild since we cosleep. I'm like 'uhh who has sex in a bed these days?!' As if it's any of her business! know what gets me everytime "oh i couldnt co-sleep i'd be scared incase i rolled over on to them or the covers went over there head",....well dont f'ing co-sleep then see if i care just dont try and make me feel bad for doing it FFS! the "rod for your own back" thing gets me every time too! harry will sleep were i put him he doesnt care! i cant imagen i'll have problems when hes bigger, i co-sleep for me no one else!
I say if you don't have a baby than you don't have any right to question what I do or don't do. 
A friend of mine co-sleeps and she loves it I did the first few days and felt okay enough for her to be in her bassinett right beside us. I have heard too that it can increase and decrease the risk of SIDS 
I heard to actual co-sleep isn't the best for SIDS that it is better to have the baby in your room but not in your bed... But everyone tells you differently, including doctors etc... so I feel you go with what you feel is best for you and your baby and who cares what other people say! I would never voice my opinion though (if it was anti-co-sleeping) as it's a little rude if you ask me. I find people are too quick to judge and voice their opinions in a negative way!
I sleep better when LO was cosleeping (although it was DAMN uncomfortable!!!!) and now I wake at three in the morning and can't sleep till 6 or 7 even though she's right next to me in the cosleeping cot.
She doesn't sleep next to me since I stopped BFing.
And I think (ESPECIALLY if you're BFing which is the NATURAL way) that co-sleeping is inevitable to a great degree. I'd be interested to know how many mums who breastfeed managed to NOT co-sleep.
ALSO my nana coslept, as did her nana etc. so I come from a long line of cosleepers who have genetically survived the dangers. I'm sorry if that's just nonsense but I think there's a valid point in there somehwere.
at 12 weeks we moved him into his cot in his own room - he was such a noisy sleeper!! Sometimes in the early morning, I'd bring him back to our bed, but from about 5 months we couldn't do this anymore because he'd want to play and pull/scratch/grab us!! (We exclusively bf to 6 months, when we started weaning...and he is still bf now)
