Wordless Wednesday: The Family Bed
This week we asked: What does cosleeping in a family bed look like?
(For more on cosleeping options and safety, please visit our resource page on Ensure Safe Sleep, and enjoy this week’s articles on the family bed, such as “Five Benefits to Cosleeping Past Infancy.”)

Took quite a bit of convincing but finally — this is The ArtsyMama’s view every morning of Little Man and her hubby, while sharing sleep.

Such sweet pictures! Thanks for including ours.
Aw, all of them are so sweet! Thanks for featuring us, too!
Sweet photos.
It’s kind of funny because I recognize Hobo Mama’s little boy now from visiting her #WW every week. I was like, “Hey! I know that kid!” lol
Thanks for linking up at MommaFindings! Happy Wordless Wednesday to you.
He’s a star!
Love the pictures! Nothing like slumbering families
Just beautiful!
oh boo! I totally forgot to send you one from us! I was going to send one of a recent camping trip too!
(I say forgot, but in truth I’ve had my head in the toilet for two days – and no, I’m not even pregnant!)
Such beautiful pictures of pure love. Warms my soul.
Love the co-sleeping pictures. Cosleeping is one of the best things, ever.
I loooooove seeing cosleeping/bedsharing photos. The snuggles, cuddles and comfy sleepers are so sweet.
Love all of the pictures! Co-sleeping is awesome.
Love all the pictures. Cosleeping is such a beautiful thing.
How do we submit our own for the next week? I’ve probably missed it but I don’t see a call for submissions or anything.
Lindsay – watch on our Facebook page. We usually announce the theme on Sunday or Monday, submissions are due to Lauren {at} NaturalParentsNetwork {dot} com by Tuesday at 1:00p.m. You need to send the pic with a caption (subject to our edits) and a link to your blog, if you’d like. Thank you!
I also try to tweet it from @NatParNet, but don’t rely on that… The FB page is more certain!
Great memories for later – wonderful pics!
I co-sleep with my 4 year old and every Friday we have a “family” sleep over with my 7 year old joining us.
These pictures are so sweet…
I love all these pictures! Getting cosleeping pictures is challenging, as I know from my own experience — low lighting, groggy people, no camera handy, the photographers are asleep (heh heh) — so I’m really impressed we had such gorgeous ones submitted!
I love the expressions of the boys on Stefanie’s party pic. It really does look like a party, doesn’t it?
These are all so sweet! Thanks for including us!
These are sweet pictures, I really love it! My daughter, almost 4 years old, cosleeps with us and has since birth. It is amazing and we would not have it any other way! It’s such a powerful way to foster good sleep habits for when they are ready to move into their own bed. They will feel that night time is a safe time!
Such sweet pictures, I photos of co-sleeping! They always look so sweet and tender and innocent.
Yep, mine sneaks in the bed about 1am every night.
I love it. I have a treasured pic of my hubby asleep with my LO. Just perfect
