Thanks again,

I think we will start her in with us as originally planned and see how it goes. I haven't talked to DS about it - the cot is in his room so i expect he may have thought about it. I can imagine he will want to be in our room too if the baby is there. I hadn't thought of that. Oh what fun we will have. :-) Slowly, slowly I guess. Which suits me too. It's hard isn't it as there is now way you want to put your baby or other children at risk of hurting or being hurt. Thanks again to everyone.
