Sex and co-sleeping - Page 2

I used to tuck a blanket with my shirt over it right against my dd's side then slowly pull my weight away. Don't make the blanket to thick or put it near the babies face. We also would dtd on the opposite side of the bed at first, but that wasn't much fun so we moved to other less traditional places. It helped spark some excitement for me even when I was totally drained of energy from nursing all day long and being awake a lot of the night.

At what age would you make sure to NOT dtd with LO in the room?
We often move DD to the pack n play and the other day she woke up and started playing with her toys. Afterwards I thought that perhaps we shouldn't do it with her around?
BTW there was a blanket hanging over the outside of the pack n play, so she was basically 'in her own room/area'

Just currious what everyone's general guidleines are for age of LO...

TIA!

Well, I know your situation is different, but I start my LO out in his crib at night, every night. He is then allowed to get in bed with us the first time he wakes up- anywhere from 1-4 hours after being laid down. Oh, I forgot to mention, my LO is 14 months old! So, that first hour or so is me and my hubby's time to be intimate. If that doesn't work out for some reason, he lays in our bed and we move to another room. at 2 months, you don't really need to worry about your LO falling off the bed. Just surround her with pillows and carry on somewhere else. I never felt comfortable DTD in the same bed with baby, even at a young age, but do what you are comfortable with!

We first dtd at 10 days pp with the first one and 7 days pp with the second one. I'm not recommending this, I'm sure its not medically a good idea but I just couldn't wait any longer. I had two fantastic homebirths though and my small 2nd degree tears were towards the side and top and were left unstitched and so were not painful after the 3rd or 4th day.
I either got them to sleep in the bed and then ran to the other bedroom with dh or I gave them an arm to snuggle up to and scooted my hips back towards dh in the bed. If you feel like doing it, wherever you are if you have a moment just do it. Its definitely all about stolen moments in the early months.
