  • We have a 9 foot bed, we all sleep in it!
    Gerd and I co-sleep with our girls and we enjoy every minute of it! In this episode, we discuss why we started co-sleeping and why we haven’t stopped yet.

    Theres something about the way you and Gerd do things that just makes me smile. You make me feel "better" about my extended family not understanding how I do things which is so completely different to how I was raised.

    Gerd said it best. Parenting is such an intimate & personal thing. I believe everyone needs to do what is BEST for them. I loved this episode. Thank you for sharing! ☺🌺

    I don’t think anyone meant to insult when they appear shocked about co-sleeping, it’s more of I couldn’t imagine sharing my bed with my kids all the time. I’d feel so irritable and restless.. I really need my own space to decompress after a long day. When my first son had horrible colic he would sleep with me but that was because of circumstance and I couldn’t wait for him to outgrow it and get him used to his crib. I never judge anyone who decides to co sleep, moms should definitely do whatever works for them❤️

    I definitely was a non cosleeper, cosleeper😂. My lil n I would leave our rooms in the mornings, especially on week-ends to go to our parents room. Their bed always seemed to be better. Now I know why.

    This just unlocked memories sleeping and cuddling with my dad at 8-9 years old before he passed away and I have never felt safer

    When Beau fell asleep in your arms while you were singing to her & brushing her hair & face 🥺 😭 Imagine if we were all raised like this? So much love. Security. Affirmation. Can I co-sleep now as a fully grown adult? 😢😩

    I had to push pause just to comment. I was a co sleeping kid lol. Like Claude, I was a child that was afraid of the dark, nightmares, etc but luckily my parents always had there bed open to me and my sister growing up. We lived in a little apartment in NY and even after moving into a house in Nj where I had my own room, my sister and I still slept together. I didn’t care if people thought it was weird, I felt loved and safe. The bond that I have with my family now as an adult is so strong, especially with my sister. Those little childhood memories of my dad fixing my pillow or the smell of my moms hair… Those moments… my heart could burst just thinking about it. Fast forward to the future…my husband and I are raising a beautifully sweet autistic child and she wants no part in co sleeping lol. My daughter loves to snuggle but her most comfortable way to fall asleep and stay asleep is in her own space. It still breaks my heart a little.

    This video has been a complete game-changer for our family. My son is 3 and always makes his way to our bed. My 6 and 7 y/o daughters share a room but my oldest is so scared every night and we end up making her go lay back down. What you said about your fears growing up really resonated with my husband. I told my husband about this video and we decided to make both girls comfy pallets on the floor next to us (no 9ft. bed here 🙂). Not only has this offered her peace and assurance at night but there's been an additional blessing. My husband love going to bed hearing each of them softly breathing around us. It has changed the whole vibe of our home. I noticed that even when they don't choose to sleep in our room they have much more peaceful nights in their own. I am blown away. It was great to hear you and Gerd process through (in other videos too) what YOUR goals are for YOUR family and how conventional ways of parenting don't always get you there so it's ok to do things different. We want our family to follow Jesus. We want our children to feel know, seen and loved. We want our whole unit to be super tight. This moved us closer in that direction. Thank you for this channel!

    Hi Claude I agree with the co- sleeping I just wish as I was a child my parents would of allowed us to sleep with them in thier bed. There is love there for my parents but as for me showing it like I show my one and only son I can't. I told my son I love him everyday since he was born my son is now 26 about to be 27 and nothing has changed. My parents never gave i

    I'm a 23 year old with no kids but the way i LOVE you guys, your family, your videos, is really beyond me! Lol y’all inspire me in so many ways! Such a beautiful family both inside and out, filled with lots of love

    I personally do not let our children sleep in the bed with us because honestly, that’s the only time my husband and I have for ourselves. BUT I love the fact that both you and your husband are on the same page with regards to co sleeping, because so often the moms want the babies around at night and the fathers don’t. So kudos to you both for working together! Although I do not choose co sleeping for my family, we often have the kids come into our beds to snuggle when we sleep in on weekends. I also let my 4 year old sleep in the bed with her grandparents at times and she loves it. Thank you guys for your transparency! Blessings!

    I slept with my parents till I was 12. I loved sleeping with them and I have an amazing relationship with them. However, It made me really dependent of them. Since they also protected me/sheltered me. Going alone into college was really hard for me causing me a lot of anxiety/depression. I really learned more about myself alone and became even a better person. So very thankful still for the experience with my wonderful parents.

    I honestly love how genuine, transparent and pure this channel is. I love your family dynamic & how comfortable you are to share your lifestyle with us ❤️ the fact that you’re non-traditional in some things, makes it that more special to watch. I’ve been riding with you guys since episode 1! Lol

    I co-sleeped with our son when he was smaller, then tried to help him sleep in his own bed. I feel guilty for rejecting him at times and there were times he cried. I thought I was helping him but it probably hurt him emotionally. When he does come into our bed I let him now because I remind myself he will leave our home one day and if there is one thing I would like him to take from us is that we welcomed him to our bed and allowed him to access us in every moment he needed us (my husband and I). Thank you for this video! 💕🙏🏼
