I have read on BB that many BFers will allow their bubs to self-serve over night... I have been thinking that I would like to do that - it seems a natural progression from what we currently do - she is currently in her bassinette next to my bed and when she wakes, she comes in with us and she feeds laying next to me. She then usually stays in with me whilst DP gets up for work.

She is starting to outgrow the bassinette and I am finding myself wanting to move the cot into our room so our overnight feeds continue to be fuss-free.

So my question is - how does/did your bub self-serve?
Are they attached by you and left to it?
Do you sleep topless?
Do you leak (I am still leaking @ 4.5months BFing... people have said it should have settled down by now but alas I still leak... lots)
Do you have waterproof thingy on your bed?
What other things do I need to consider?
