I'm not worried about DD becoming 'independent' I'm sure she'll so it in her own time, and she's only 1, maybe if she was 5 I would be thinking 'ok, get out now!!' LOL.


Can someone explain to me the reasons why you Co-Sleep?
Well, survival mainly, LOL. At the start we didn't do it. It was uncomfortable. I always had to face DD coz I thought I'd roll on her if I didn't and I had a much worse sleep if she was in our bed. But from about 6 months we did it more regularly and from probably 8 months she's been in our bed most of the night. She starts of in her cot (in our room) and then moves to our bed at the first wake up. She still wakes up 3 or more times a night so it's way easier and I get so much more sleep. I am still waking up a lot but I feel A LOT more rested!!! Usually I just fall asleep feeding her and then when she wakes next she's still in our bed. Now she's older I know I can't squash her or anything, she would not let me! lol.

How long you plan on doing it for?
As long as it works for us. Until she starts sleeping better I guess and stays in her cot for longer.

And if u only have one bub and another one comes along are you planning on having them both share your bed?
I have no idea how this will work!! Not sure what we'll do if she's still in our bed when another one comes! Makes me a bit sad really I don't want to kick her out before she's ready or just because of a new baby! So I would probably try to move her before the baby came or something, no idea.
