As a co-sleeping, baby-wearing, breastfeeding kind of mama, I love discussing everything involving natural parenting topics. And you know what else is natural? Sex with your husband. After having a baby and getting the all-clear from the doctor that your body is ready to resume the nookie, many of us cannot wait to get frisky.
On Coffee Shop Confessions, one mom admitted that she and her husband had sex with their 8-week-old baby right there in the bed with them, making the panel cringe. But it seems that the mom confessing was also cringing at what she had done. Let's roll the videotape ....
Now as I said, I'm a co-sleeping mom, but when it comes to having sex, my husband and I do not get it on with a kid in the bed. And this doesn't mean we don't have sex. We just don't have sex in the bed. There isn't some rule where doing the naughty can only take place between the sheets, right? Why not try the couch, the shower, or the kitchen table?
If you're a parent who has done the deed with baby right there in the bed with you, then that's cool. Whatever works for your family. The baby here is just 8-weeks old and I'm sure mom and dad were super quiet. But did you notice how mama felt really uncomfortable with it all? To me, that means she should take the sex to another room. Or even the floor in the same room. Heck, why not just do it standing up against the wall. That would be hot.
For the mamas who do schtup their husbands with baby in bed, I have to admit that I'm a tad jealous. Your baby must be the best sleeper ever.
Do you think this mom crossed the line between attachment parenting and "too close for comfort" parenting?

I don't want to sit in judgement of this, but it wouldn't be for us. Maybe its selfish to admit but I want sex to be about me and my man and no one else. Its bad enough having to worry about making noise and waking them up with out having to worry about bouncing them off the bed. I have been a stay at home mom since my son was born and had to hold him almost constantly until he was four months old and got reflux medicine that worked. I was so happy to have my son and was willing to do anything to help his pain but I still needed me time. Thank God for grandparents and uncles and aunts. Sex is a very important part of your relationship and I think its okay to say you want that part to be about just you and your partner as much as you can.
No....we cosleep. It's what feels best for us. But sex with the baby in the bed? No. We take it to the couch, the shower, the kitchen...shit if we're desperate and my back is hurting too much, we blow up an airmattress.
Ummm, NOOOOO!! How the hell can yall even wanna do it with a baby in the bed???
We did not have the babies in the bed with us for cosleeping because of my husband restlesness in his sleep so they were in a bassinet next to the bed and yes we had intamite relations when they were sleeping in the rrom but we also made time in other places where we did not have to worry about waking the babies.
I tend to think the U.S. is the only country where this is an issue.I guess it's too late to tell me these thing now. My oldest is 35 and my youngest 21.The 29 year old drove to New Orleans to handle a crisis after Isaac. Gee,I hope she doesn't kill anyone. The 35 year old is a CEO of his own company. He's also a 2nd degree black belt so he could kill some one,but so far so good. The 3rd one,we're just not sure about. What do you think they do in African huts with 6 family members or more? Do they wake up Grandma and Uncle and the kids?India has a Billion people. Families live together 3 and 4 generations.Square footage is rarely generous.Mother-in-law,F-in-L,husband,Wife,baby,2 children,brother-in-law,wife,2 children, widowed paternal aunt, servant who sleeps in, and servant who comes from12-8 to help with laundry and cooking,and child care. Now. this is a 900 sq ft flat. Co-sleeping isn't quint. I't's expected. If they're lucky,they have a terrace or a hallway where the children will sleep when they are older. The maid sleeps on the small couch in the living room.If the other servant can't go home (monsoon,too much work) she sleeps on the floor in the kitchen. This is reality for the middle class. In villages, there is much less space.Tell me again how -it's 113 degrees and that didn't spoil your mood, but a baby is ruining it?
The rest of the world does NOT live like America,and that's a good thing. Personally,I don't want my son to grow up to be Karl Rove. So yes-I have done it,and breast fed at the same time and had my son go back to sleep. I've also had him grab his pillow and a little sleeping bag,and say,"too crowded" when he was -3?
HHyou do to this child?" He can cook and shop and dance and run marathons. (And we're pretty sure he's not gay.) So discard your guilt and get with the rest of the planet.
P.S. We also sleep with the dog-and she's fine with it too.
I'm from the old school, we did not let our children in our bed to sleep, they had their cribs or bassinets to sleep in. My husband and I shared the bed, unless we were fooling around with the kids, but I personally don't think that's a good idea. Maybe I'm just too old.
