Right now we have been co-sleeping since day one with Bella. I love it so much and really want to continue until she makes a move to transition. DH however thinks that once she is able to crawl it's time for her own room. I think his basic reason is that she could crawl out of our bed and fall. (I'm not opposed to matresses on the floor but I am pretty sure he would think that was a dumb idea and not go for it) He has given in so many areas I don't want to be pushy and fight battles that aren't worth fighting but I want to keep her with us :heart she is in a side-carred crib (or will be again once we get our own place, right now it's just her and me on the sleeper sofa) so space in our bed isn't an issue (or I should say "more of an issue" - we are both bed-hogs :lol)

Are there any specific reasons I could share with him about why it's good to continue co-sleeping until the child initiates moving? He said "so we would wait until she can talk and say- I want my own bed :hunh" - ummm...that's kind of what I had in mind lol :P~
Thanks mamas!
