have you researched co-sleeping? the benefits are enormous
maybe print some stuff out for your dh to read.

bree has co-slept from birth, she started in a bassinett next to the bed - but she stopped feeding during the night at a few months old and i wasn't happy with that:P (too early!) - so she started co-sleeping fulltime then.if she wasnt in our bed, she was on a mattress in the lounge until i went to bed.
now she is about 22 months, sometime along the way we put the cot sidecarred against the bed. she starts the night in the cot (unless dh wants to cuddle her (its abit addictive) LOL - and finally stays there until say roughly 7 in the morning, when she may feed once or twice or more until i /we/she gets up.
