I would say if you only occasionally bedshare out of sheer desperation/during bad sicky times but you don't like bedsharing, i would count that as no for simplicity purposes.

He has never slept with me all night long. But for a few months he would sleep with me from 5am until we woke up (usually 8-9). So TECHNICALLY that was bedsharing, but not really because he was perfectly capable of sleeping in his crib. I just enjoyed sleeping with him for a few hours in the morning.
ETA: But a full time thing is NOT my thing. I enjoy my sleep, alone (well, DH is there, but he's way on his side). And I can't sleep well with a kid next to me touching me. I can deal with naps and no longer than a few hours though.
We bed shared from about 6 months to 10.5 months. I loved it. H did not. For the sake of trying to salvage our marriage, we sleep trained. I do not regret it, in part because J did so freaking well with it, and also because I love STTN now.
Bedshare full time, would rather not Bedshare full time, cool with it Bedshare part time, would rather not Bedshare part time, cool with it Wish my baby would bedshare! Used to bedshare, not any more Never bedshared, not my thing special bedflake
I voted never bedshared, not my thing. I wouldn't have minded it but H was dead set against it. Looking back I think that was a good thing. We used ti take naps together though. But she wont nap with me anymore and I really miss the baby cuddles.
We only bedshare when my SS is with us and she wakes up and fusses in the MOTN, which doesn't happen too often. Or on days like today when she refuses to nap in her crib
Well, I bedshare full time and I am somewhere in between "cool with it" and "would rather not." I could realistically leave him there alone all night but I am having a hard time giving up bed sharing.
Never, not my thing. But it's also not A's thing. Sometimes I wish I had the option when she's clingy and cranky but the only time she wants to be on the bed is for silly rolling and crawling and climbing fun. The second we try to get her to stay still she gets pissed and will not relax for more than two minutes.
we used to. Luke slept with us from 4 months to 10 months then we put him in his crib. It worked well for us during that time but once he could crawl it was just too dangerous and he would crawl over our bodies which was annoying I am loving being able to get stuff done while he sleeps (I was never comfortable leaving the room) and he has been sleeping better. For us it was a developmental thing, he was just ready

Bed share full time and cool with it. I love when she cuddles up with me. Also sometimes we push her longways at top of bed and DH and I scoot down to cuddle- it makes our cuddle time more special.
when K was around 5-8 months he would sleep with us for part of the night, mostly mornings. Now he sleeps with us for about at hour on Sat and Sunday mornings.
WHen he was a tot every once in a blue moon he would sleep the night in the big bed with us.
Full-time bedsharer and generally cool with it. I'm working on getting her to sleep from 7-10pm without being held. She used to but then between sickness and teething we took too long of a break from it and now she wakes up the second she's put down.
Bedshare part time and cool with it. He starts out in his PnP here at my mom's but sleeps in my bed for the rest of the night. We bedshare at home occasionally too.
Never, ever, not my thing. I'm also a sleep walker (and I think I have a REM disorder) so I keep her as far away from me as possible. We have a baby gate on her door and have the door mostly closed.

I never "bedshared" officially, but if we both fell asleep during MOTN feedings it happened. Also it used to be the only way he would nap, attached to my boob. Now he won't bedshare, he wiggles and whines unil I put him in his crib.
Never, not my thing. DH was adamant about T sleeping in his crib from about 4 weeks on. T's probably napped in bed with me a handful of times (when he was wee), but other than that, all sleeping is done in his crib.
She has always been an independent sleeper so we both sleep better when she's in the crib. But lately she has been waking up around 4-5, and in that case I do bring her in bed with me and she falls back asleep, and I have to say I don't mind the snuggles for those couple hours. Last night she didn't wake up and I was actually kind of sad about it!!
It worries me a bit though because my sister and I both got up in the middle of the night and got in bed with my mom for YEARS, until she got remarried and kicked us out.

I voted "wish my baby would bedshare"
I don't want to all the time, but it would be helpful when traveling or when he's sick. He absolutely will not sleep next to me now that he doesn't fall asleep nursing.
