I had DS in a little cribette thing attached to the bed, so he was right next to me. Then later (in the special care unit) he was in this cot with wheels on so he could be taken into the nursery at night.

I was told that I wasn't allowed to sleep with him - mind you, this was post-birth and I couldn't move let alone put DS in the crib on the other side of the room. So I slept sitting up with him snuggled against my chest. I had to keep waking up every time someone walked in the room to check I wasn't sleeping with my baby, which wasn't allowed! I was finally "allowed" to sleep 7 hours post-birth (33 hour labour with no sleep after 7am the previous morning!) when I was taken into the ward and DS had his own sleeping space on the bed.
