Milwaukee Ads Wake Parents Up to Risks of Co-Sleeping

crib right beside our bed, that's how we did it

We have friends that have an 18-month old son.

She still breast feeds him (my wife says that as soon as the little one grows teeth, he's off the boob), they still co-sleep, when they have sex, the baby is still on the bed (that would creep me the hell out), and she won't let the kid out of her sight. She even often has reservations about leaving her son with her dad (who is one of the nicest guys you would ever want to meet) while she goes to the grocery store.

No babysitter is good enough to watch her kid. Her mother in law (who raised two kids might I add) was holding her grandson in the living room and he started crying. She starts to console him, then mom comes over, snatches the kid and walks away without saying a word.

She's become so absorbed that I think that kid is going to grow up to be the biggest pussy ever.

So agree with this. We have a 19month old and boy #2 due in 2 weeks.
The only time the first baby slept in our bed, was if neither of us were in it, we'd let him fall asleep there for a nap while we were doing things in the room.

We won't do it with baby number 2 either. Some very bad things in the history of the world were done in the name of "love".

I just gave up and became celibate.

Since she was able to verbally convey her concerns, I can only assume her mouth works. So what was the issue?

I dont believe this. i grew up around Alfalfa fields and have them all around my house and on my way to work. Every year when the farmers cut the Alfalfa hay my allergies go fucking crazy. i even tried Alfalfa honey and that had no effect on my body freaking out when it came to that grass. so if what you say is true, i guess it takes more that 44 years for my body to build p a immunity to it.

its called the Hygiene Hypothesis and ti is gaining much support from evidence from the scientific community.
