I have slept with my baby since the day he was born. We don't own a cot, however we did buy a hammock, which has been quite useful during the day.
During the day I'll feed him or wear him to sleep and then put him in his hammock for a nap (or continue wearing him). He may go for 20 minutes or 2hrs - it just depends on the day (sometimes it takes several goes to help him to sleep).
Recently, at night he's started sleeping in his hammock (as he goes to sleep before me) and then comes into bed with me around 12/1am until the morning.
I'd like to know what other co-sleeping mums do for day sleeps, and even the early evening (before you go to bed) as I can see he's going to outgrow his hammock at some stage soon.
I've read that it's unsafe to put a baby to sleep unattended on an adult bed, so where do you put them to sleep? If he was a bit older I could have a mattress on the floor, but I don't think he's up to that just yet.
