You do what you feel good with chick.

DS has never slept in a cot, but he has gone into his own bed this year. I sit at the end of the bed. Usually only takes a few minutes. We have the same convo every single night. "You sit with me mama?", "I always sit with you", "You get you book and sit with me." So I do. Often I'm there long after he's fallen asleep lol.

They're only little for such a short time.
