    Hi Shell,

    that sounds pretty normal ATM you probably think it wont but things will change once you both get to know each other better. I ended up cosleeping with V for 2 months then gradually movedher to a cot. I still bring her in bed with me in the mornings lol Its great to see their little face looking up at you in the morning..

    Thanks for all the great advise everyone

    DD still doesn't like the cot , and i understand that now she still needs the confined comfort ,but she will sleep for periods of time in the carrier which we put in to the cot.

    But she sleeps best and so does me and DF if she sleeps on my chest.
    I feel so scared and nervous doing it though ,I'm scared i will hurt hurt,she will fall off or i will block her breathing.

    If you co sleep how do you do it?

    I do wrap her up at night which i find helps a lot, but she does love to have her arms out and around her head,so i find if i wrap just one arm up and leave the other out so she can bring it near her head face she likes this better.

    When our son was first born

    We bought a MOSES BASKET with handles and a soft lining etc form Babies r us; it was perfect because he slept in it by the side of our bed so we could always check on him... And we could carry him around to cafes, dinner other peoples house and he would just sleep. He slept in it until he was 6 months old. It was comfy and cosy and he loved being wrapped tight in those baby rugs. though being summer those ' muslin' cloths are the best..... also great for breadtfeeding in public and putting over the pram for sunshade.

    Once he was bigger he just settle straight in his cot and now loves to stretch out
