I truly believe that if co-sleeping works for you and your little one, then you don't have to change a thing! I do also see the other side too where it is feeling overwhelming, and no one is getting the best sleep. Either way, you should be empowered to make your own choice.
So let's dive in, chat it through about what works for you and navigating positive changes!
