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.

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 us hugs or not even an "I love you". When I became a mother I told myself that I was not going to bring up my son not showing him love. I would always let my son sleep with me in my bed. I felt the comfort bond like a mother and thier child should feel. I commend you as a mother bc you love your kids and you show it. Your kids will always remember all the love thier parents gave them. Keep up the great work and Bless you and your family.

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!

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. Edit: Back after watching the rest. What was said about feeling like creating that open door/bed structure will hopefully keep an open line of communication with your girls in the future is very true and real. As a teen my mom and I had “silent conversations”. Sometimes when you are going through it you just want to be held. I’m so grateful that I had that with my parents growing up.

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 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.

And that’s what we do with our marriage “ Claud, you are blessed to have a husband who is deep like that! Blessings 🙂

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! 💕🙏🏼

Former co-sleeper momma here. My daughter now in 4th grade has decided to sleep in her own bed. But it was honestly the Best experience I have had as a mom as well as for my husband. That's a time we can always look back on with so much love and beautiful memories that will last me a life time. Our daughter still on occasion will come in our bed or ask that I stay in here cause she wants to cuddle and I happily do so🙂 Also, I absolutely love your Chanel. It's has been a breath of fresh air. So much of social media is about showing off a perfect life and about money, the look what I have. But your family is so down to earth and you can feel the realness. Thank you💜 God Bless

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!

When my toddler was an infant I started light sleep training (no crying). Sleeping by herself came naturally to my daughter but from one night to the other, she hysterically cried when putting asleep. At the time she had been sleeping alone for months. Now we cosleep and I love it! I feel like it's takes bonding to a deeper level.

Former (& occasional) co-sleeper here 🙋🏾‍♀️ Also an aspiring anthropologist who LOVES that you brought up the instinctive & global perspective: co-sleeping is part of human nature that has been re-framed in recent times (as Gerd stated). It is animal instinct to be close to your offspring, esp after nightfall (unfortunately some of us have forgotten that we’re still animals). With all this said, I understand folks who opt not to, without judgement (& I wish this were reciprocated towards co-sleepers). BIG UPS to co-sleeping and healthy parent/child relationships, rooted in love & intention ❤️💫

You have a beautiful voice Claudette. That moment between you and Beau was so touching. And what you mentioned about your girls being able to come to you when they're having a problem and just cuddling them and you not asking any questions and them not feeling that they have to explain; I'm able to do that with my mom and it really is the best. Just some video ideas that I would be interested in seeing: Gerd's experience as a black student at Yale, both your experiences in girl/boy groups, the relationship between you and your mom growing up, both your experiences when you guys went on a break before getting married.

I grew up co-sleeping with my mom. I'm the only child, and like Gerd said I definitely grew up with an extremely Secure Attachment style. I'm now 25 woman and we have an unbreakable bond that people constantly ask us how we fostered it and a great bulk of it came from co-sleeping until I went to college. 🤣 So tell Beau she’s not alone & I’m right there with her! ❤️ I absolutely love the channel & the transparency. Glad y’all brought back something that’s been lacking on KZfaq for a while now. Never change! God bless.

I love this! I slept with my parents until I was like 10 or 11 (I'm 27 now) and I only stopped cause my mom made me start cleaning their room as well as mine. And I thought I can't be cleaning two rooms if I only sleep in one so I moved back to my room. It made me feel safe to sleep next to them cause I too was afraid of the dark. And if my parents weren't home, I would sleep with my brother or grandmother. I loved it and I will totally let my children sleep with me for as long as they want.

So glad you did this video. I am a new mom to and I really struggled doing things the "normal" way with sleep routine. Once I heard about co-sleeping, I tuned everyone out and did it. It was a game changer and we both sleep better, she feeds better, and it's such a sweet bonding experience for us. I do get side eye or comments about how hard it'll be to get my baby into her own space eventually but I don't care. This works for us. Thank you for sharing because I came to KZfaq to see how other parents do it. This helps to normalize co-sleeping ❤️

Interesting! I felt all sorts of emotions watching this. My daughter is 17 now and leaving to college in just 4 months so I know the co-sleeping days are long gone, lol. I did get a little emotional when I saw how Beau fell asleep so peacefully while you sang to her and towards the end when she said all her fears went away when she slept with you guys. I don't know why I never saw it that way. My daughter slept in our room when she was first born until she outgrew her basinet at 3 months (She was a big baby) and I started to put her in her own room and crib. I remember her crying but I would not allow her in the bed. I would go into her room and lay on the floor until she fell asleep and then creep out to my room. She probably felt more at peace having me close and in my head I always thought I would be doing more harm to her by allowing her in the bed. I thought the night time was my break time and just my time with my husband. Even when I got divorced and it was just me and her, she always had her own room and never slept with me. Watching this made me reminisce on so many nights that I could have just laid with her. It probably would of been helpful to both of us. I don't think you sharing on the intimacy part was TMI, because I honestly think that was on the minds of most married folks. When do you find time for you and Gerd to be alone but it seems like you guys make it work. I honestly have always been so against kids sleeping with parents, but I think if my daughter was little again and I saw this, I would probably want to co-sleep and just see how we feel or what comes from it. Especially now that she's leaving me, makes me want to turn back the hands of time and snuggle with her more. Great episode! Hope you guys enjoy the rest of your time off :) See ya next Wednesday! and btw...you really need to record some music!

This video warms my heart! I see secure attachment style and Maslow’s hierarchy of needs being met on so many levels already for your girls. Also the soundtrack to Claude & Co immediately makes me relax, I love it so much.

Today’s episode really had me thinking. With my youngest we coslept with more out of necessity when he was born until around 3. Then it turned into comfort for not only him but me. Then I felt he needed to sleep in his bed so he wouldn’t be emotionally dependent and sleep like “a big boy”. As a toddler he’s supposed to emotionally dependent on me!!! So now it’s more of a rollercoaster, some days he’ll sleep in his bed, some he sneaks in and I pretend I don’t notice, some I’m asking if he wants to sleep with me, others I need my space because I can’t breathe! lol And that’s ok!! I will start listening to his needs and not care about what he “should do” because “that’s how I was raised”. Thank you for sharing!! This helped me open the conversation with myself. Love your familia xoxo

Hiii Claude, omg this brought so many tears to my eyes. Happy tears🥲I could write all day about how beautiful you described co-sleeping in this video and so classy. ❤️You are so beautiful inside and out. When I had my children my husband was against them sleeping in bed because his parents raised him to think that way. So I listened to him and my children slept in their beds. I wish I could have been persistent about it because I can see how cuddling with your kids is a special time for the family and has such a huge impact on your relationship with them. There is a sense of security and bond that brings you that much closer. I love how you and Gerd work together and he is so supportive. ❤️ I will definitely recommend this to my children when they have their own. ❤️Thank you for sharing this with us. ❤️🙏🏽

I’m an adult (without kids), but there are childhood memories that stuck with me which have made me very open to co-sleeping when I have kids. My childhood wasn’t the greatest. There was trauma from various things (including being bullied till about 13). I had nightmares very often and wake up terrified or crying. If my sister wasn’t home (she was 19 when I was born so she was often at uni), I would sneak into my parents room and climb into bed with them. I always got kicked out or my dad would tell me off and send me to my room and I won’t be able to fall back asleep because I’m scared. My parents did not want to listen to why I needed to cosleep (also, I never led about while asleep so it’s not like I would hit them in the face or whatever while I slept). At 15, my best friend died and it became extreme difficult to sleep in my room especially as she had stayed there with me not too long before she died. Her death was so traumatic for me (still dealing with PTSD from it) and for a while back then, I didn’t speak, barely ate (only really ate when forced to and didn’t eat much) and spent my days either staring at nothing, crying, or sleeping (some times monitored by a nurse). At night, I would always try going to bed in my room, but I would always end up going to my parents bedroom. They would tell me to go back to my room. At some point, I wouldn’t even try to get in bed with them. I would just lay on the floor in their room and stay there till morning (sometimes asleep, other times wide awake staring at nothing). When I got told off for that, I would still sneak in, but I would lay on the floor in my mum’s walk-in closet. I just felt a bit safer and less alone being near the only other people in the house. I don’t want my children to ever feel the way I did whenever I was kicked out or told off for attempting to co-sleep. Because of what I went through, even if my kids have their own bedrooms, they will know that my bed is always open to them if they ever need to snuggle, cuddle, or just have some company to be able to fall asleep at night.

Claude & Co, your channel has been orchestrated to reach people me being one of them. Since the first episode I could feel Gods grace and humility upon you and your family. Everything you share I have been dealing with or anticipate too in the coming future. As a new mom of a 3 month old who just had open heart surgery last week I’ve contemplated co- sleeping, dealt with the struggle of nursing and been begun thinking of our home schools plans. Your channel brought me comfort in the hospital and just a breath of fresh air - you guys are the real deal and are blessed. I’ve learned so much, and hope you continue to bring forth such inspiration to people like me.

The way Claude described feeling rejected because she couldn't sleep in her parents' bed reminded me EXACTLY of how I felt as a child. I would feel like my mom didn't love me at night, and I was so terrified of being in my room alone at night. I would sleep outside my mom's closed door some nights. 😭 I LOVE how you shared about your intimacy and your relationship. The definition of this channel is love and mindfulness. You inspire me to be an intentional parent once I have a baby with my husband. Please continue with this channel 🙏🏻 I watch this channel during my lunch break, too. (I watched your live 🥰) it truly is some midday peace to break up the pace of my work environment. So much love to you all. 💗

This is a beautiful thing when it works for you and your Family. I did it for the first 6 months of our sons life because I was nursing. Which was my primary reason. If I could go back I certainly would have done it longer. With being said, when our 25 year comes to visit he still comes to our bedroom and lounges with us from time to time. There is something to be said about kids being loved and understanding a parents unconditional love. We often won’t to severe these bonding relationships so quickly when children are so young. I partly blame the American in my case Black culture. I adore your bond with your children. They’re only young a short time. Love them!!!! Thanks for sharing.❤️

My 9yo does sneak into our room every night - so I guess I am a non-co-sleeper co-sleeper as well. 😜 and I love it. I agree that for some reason we rush our kids to grow up and be independent- but I always think, soon my kids won’t want to spend as much time with me. I was born and raised outside the US and I slept with my parents until I was 12. I enjoy your content

Thank you for sharing this, it opened my eyes to this idea for when I start my family. As a child there was a period of time I would cry myself to sleep because I was scared of dying, or had bad thoughts.. and I would feel sad like you described because I didn't have the opportunity to sleep with my mom or my sister would reject me. So I appreciate you making me realize co-sleeping is ok.

I am a co-sleeping, breastfeeding, culture based educating (homeschooling), Latina mom of 4 Latino/Polynesian babies. This is the first channel I have ever seen myself and/or my views reflected in, in all these aspects, so I'm really enjoying these videos. Its a peek into another families life that values raising children feeling loved. Its great to normalize all these topics because this western culture (steeped in whiteness) that many of us find ourselves in, is not necessarily "better" or something we should strive to assimilate to. In this culture children get a bottle, not the warmth of their mothers breast, they get a lonely cold room down the hall, not the secure grip of a parents embrace at night, and are shove younger and younger each year towards strangers and oftentimes difficult environments (aka schools). Before there were "terms" for all this, my parents did all of the above. To them it was just being a parent. I realize how blessed I was to have such a thing. I also know that even if its later in life, my children will also look back and know they were deeply loved.

My mom, sister, and I use to co-sleep when we were young because I was terrified of ghost and my sister was scared of the dark. My dad was around but not emotionally so we never slept with him even if we tried. I loved sleeping with mom and my sister and it was a great comfort but as I got older we all wanted and needed our own space and eventually stopped co-sleeping but I do have fond memories of it. I never knew people thought co-sleeping was weird because a lot of the people in our neighborhood were poor in a middle class area and would sleep in the same bed as family members because there weren’t many rooms to fit a family of 4+. It was a privilege to have a bedroom for everyone

Hi guys. I grew up sleeping with my parents and loved it. Of coarse I grew out of it, but my parents were fine with it. Also with my kids, when they were younger, they would sleep with us. Sometimes there would be 5 of us in the same bed! Especially when there was lightningI,lol. I think it's fine. And not only that but it makes you closer as children and parents. I've always snuggled with my kids when they were young. We would talk, sing songs as well as me and my parents. Some of my favorite memories were laying in bed with my parents and having my mom or dad sing me songs. Loved it!! I think its ok and your kids will grow up to feel that love and cherish those memories.
