It's time for a Mom Confession -- because, let's face it, we're real mothers and sometimes it doesn't work the way the parenting books say it should.
This Week's Confession:
-- I sleep naked, especially when it's hot outside, and sometimes my toddlers come into my room and crawl under the covers with me. Often we'll all fall back asleep together. I don't mind -- at this age, they are still innocent and don't make anything of it. -- anonymous
Do you sleep naked with your toddler? What about your husband or SO? If your toddler asked to sleep without pajamas, too, would you let him or her?
We all have secrets and opinions -- so thanks to these brave moms for sharing their honest thoughts, and thank you for keeping this conversation non-judgemental!

Oh by the way, I have no problem with him being nude, at all! i JUST worry about him being one of those stripper toddlers who pulls off their clothes and refuses to leave them on. I am glad a lot of other moms do not have sticks up their butts about this. Please realize we are all made by God, and as long as we are not being inappropriate with our kids, who cares?
OH I am so happy to hear that you are comfortable enough with your body to do this. My hope is that this will also help your child to feel comfortable with the human body too. They will hopefully learn to look at the body as just a body instead of some sexual object like the current media does. People who are forbidden to see the body I think tend to look down on the body much more so, so I am hoping you being comfortable with help your child to learn comfortablility with not only all people's bodies but their own as well, too.
As for cosleeping, I don't know if people realize that in history, other then the super rich, you often had 10 or 13 people usually extended family all sleeping in the same room together. This whole beign in your own seperate room is only a recent occurance in the last 100 years for the avgerage person when homes became big enough for this. It has also been shown in studies that co-sleeping can help foster mental wellbeing in children. ead the studies. the international attachment parenting site has some links to studies on this.
