A mum who shares a bed with all of her children and her husband has blasted her critics - and insists she got less sleep when they slept separately. Charlotte Lewis, 33, says her eldest daughter Izzie, eight, had struggled to sleep on her own since she was an underweight newborn.
After years of trying different sleep methods to no success, Charlotte and her husband Paul, 34, decided to try co-sleeping after Izzie loved sleeping in a family room with her parents and baby brother Harvey, now four, on holiday. The solution worked - and the family-of-four now sleep in a giant bed made up of two double beds pushed together.
Charlotte says the approach has its critics but she is not fazed - and said parents should do what works best for them. The uniform company managing director, who lives with fancy dress shop worker Paul and their kids, said: "There were four in the bed and the little one said absolutely nothing because they all slept happily ever after.
