Co-Sleeping - how do you do it?

[Visitor8]

To start with I brought a co sleeping bed, but Ash was so long he was out of it before a month old!
Now I just have him next to me with a pillow on the other side because he rolls now. I am about to buy a bed rail so he wont roll out. I don't have a partner so dont have to worry about it, it's just me and Ash in my queen sized bed!

I co-slept with my eldest DD 16 but it was pretty taboo back then. When DS4 was coming along we decide that we would'nt co-sleep DH was worried that we would suffocate him. I ended up having a CS and he had bad reflux and like Lauren said would choke and I just could'nt get out of bed quickly enough so into our bed he came. We moved the pillows and made sure that he could'nt be covered by the doona, same with DD3. I always slept very lightly and spent a lot of time pushing DH pillow back from them though.

This time we bought a tetra bed, but it is way to big to go into the bed, so intially I co-slept in a king single bed until she started sleeping through and know she sleeps in a cot hard up against our bed another form of co-sleeping and I have to say I feel heaps better about it, she has her own space, I can see her and vice versa, if I need to reach her I can easily. In our area there are a lot of Bangladesh families and this is how they co-sleep. When the child is old enough they can come and go into your bed when they like. I feel very relaxed and know that everything is ok, would'nt dream of not co-sleeping
