i just cuddled my DD, i would wake up even if she moved the slighest bit, i think it's just natural to do so. she is 9 months and still sleeping with us. she slept in a sleeping bag recommended by SIDS website so was fine, no blankets ever around her head. i love waking up next to my daughter every morning. i am trying to get her in the cot now though so will miss her good luck with everything and i hope you enjoy co-sleeping as much as we have!!
