Fi-Actually it was DP (or XDP) that wanted to co-sleep first with felix too, he would ge a bit upset when I'd say that it was for for Felix to be on my side too. He was confused at why I wanted a cot when pregnant..lucky I bought a secondhand one because it is lying dismantled in his playroom LOL

I was petrified at co-sleeping because of all the things I'd heard, but it took having felix to realise my own instincts were so strong, there was no way I'd roll on him..I think my secret was having a nap during the day too so it didn't matter that I was in alighter sleep when he was in bed with me..

For me co-sleeping intensified our bond, I truely felt like there was a physical connection between us and would have felt anxious if he was in another room..I sensed he felt the same way, as he'd sleep so well snuggled next to me..

I agree with kelly..all children are different..and parents..and what suits one doesn't suit another..that's what is upsetting about all this bad press etc..it discounts the individuality of each mother baby unit!

BTW Kelly I love the sound of Marissa's queen bed =D> that is gorgeous..I'm sure Felix would love one for himslef aftere sleeping in ours !
