I think there are some valid points on both sides. It\'s up to the parent. Hopefully, they provide a safe environment for the child if they choose to let them sleep in their bed. Personally, I found that I couldn\'t sleep at all with Colin in the same bed. I even found it hard to sleep with him in the bassinet next to the bed. Every little movement had me up and checking on him. He is a restless sleeper, he tosses and turns like crazy. I decided to put him in his crib after the first few weeks for my own sanity.

I agree that the parents really need to examine their own sleep patterns and risks before even considering cosleeping. I\'ll admit to being one of those paranoid first time parents that could not get the fear of SIDS out of my mind. It literally was affecting my own sleep. Once we brought my daughter to our bed and I could monitor her, we all got much needed rest. Not to mention how much we loved waking up to that beautiful face. We moved her to her crib around 5 1/2 months.

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips.
