Hi hun,

bed things at baby shops where you put bub in it in your bed
We had one of these, it was ok when Jazz was little but grew quickly... to be honest it was a PITA, took up all the room in the bed, and I had to get her out to feed her anyway. It was good to start with though as we both worried that we'd squish her.

Now Jazz is just between us. Shel and I were talking about it on Sunday and we didn't know how to describe it but you just KNOW where they are in the bed. I guess that probably differs for some people, we are both fairly light sleepers. She sleeps between us, i just chuck her in bed with us. She generally snuggles into me, and I put my arm around her. I find myself waking up to any noise she makes, but I feel more rested than when she was in the cot. Not that that makes any sense LOL

So, yeah, we don't do anything different. We push our pillows off to the side, and she sleeps with her head close to my shoulder in my arm. Being summer we only have a top sheet, no doona, so that takes most of the stress away (me worrying about her slipping under the doona).
