We started co-sleeping with Matilda from birth & I didn't worry about consequences until she was around 3 months? By then I was so confused & lost and she didn't sleep or feed well so I felt really alone... I moved her into a cot at the foot of our bed for another few months & then into her room. After that I tried to get her to sleep in our room again & she flat out refused it was awful. Now she sleeps on a mattress next to our bed most of the night because she doesn't want to be left out. She loves it there... tries to get the dogs to climb in with her.

With Jovie we have co-slept from birth & will do so as long as we need/want too. Jovie starts the night in her hammock and comes into bed for her feeding & stays. I love our early morning cuddles.

We have a queen size bed. Not cramped at all She is generally inbetween us but sometimes I have to put her on the edge with a pillow behind her to feed if I need to empty that boob, but then we roll over to the middle again straight away after.
