We haven't ever co-slept with Jacob, except if he has been unwell and I must admit, I have found myself quite anxious about it, wondering if we are doing it correctly if that makes sense?

As a result, I'd actually like to find out a bit more about this. Can someone please explain to me exactly how co-sleeping works? By this I mean, whereabouts in the bed do you put baby, in between you and DH? What do you do WRT to your own pillows/blankets etc? Have you found that it works well for you all? Do you feel that you have enough space? Do you or baby get hot?

I'd like to find out exactly what the principles of co-sleeping are, and how it works in readiness for our next little one. I'm unsure as to whether we will actually co-sleep at this stage, but I am definitely interested to know more about it, particularly since we do bring Jacob in with us if he's unwell. I just want to ensure that we are doing everything safely IYKWIM?
