do whatever works and be glad that there is something that works... sometimes what works one week doesn't the next, and then you are stuffed!! ;-)

enjoy your baby - they grow up so fast and you never know, you might get an independant little fellow who at 6 months refuses cuddles and the likes and you will be glad you had all that time in bed with him...

i think you have to do whatever it is that is most important to you... if everyone getting enough sleep is most important (i think this is the case for everyone!!) then do whatever enables you all to get the most sleep... if him sleeping in his cot is most important to you then try to get him to sleep in his cot. but at the end of the day im sure sleep wins over anything so just do whatever works and pat yourself on the back for finding something that works and comforts him so he can sleep. reflux sucks i know all about it.
