co sleeping

You do whatever works for you Loula, because whatever that is (as long as it's safe), it can't be wrong. And don't let anyone tell you different.

You're doing a wonderful job xxxxx

:yeahthat: Well said

We looked at one of the safe sleeper thingys but decided against it (actually Dh was adamant that 'this one will sleep in her own bed!' - well, guess how that turned out )

For me I have found that I do not go into such a deep sleep when there is a little one in bed, but I get more rest overall. You just have that general awareness of them & where they are.

And I think everyone has covered the basics, the blanket thing can be a bit tricky but we usually slid down the bed a bit so she was level with our head & above the blankets.

As for your family, you can find a snappy comeback - I love telling people 'he/she won't be doing it when they are a teenager!' - or you can just smile and nod, OR you can not tell them anything - as a pp said, it's really no-one's business. That's not always easy when it's family. I have found though the more I let criticism just roll off me, the less I seem to get

well my DD who's 8 weeks old i co sleep with she has been sleeping over 5hrs through the night, she usually gets very fussy during the evenings and wriggly does this mean she's overtired and cranky? wondering if i should take her to bed early evenings to try feed her to sleep? i'm also worried if i keep co sleeping with her will the transition to the cot become difficult in the coming weeks as id like to get her to sleep ina cot in the next few months any suggestions?
