Hi Haydies.
Im glad co-sleeping works with you. I think I might invest in a side barrier that attaches to our bed. That way, I can still put Baby's bassinet right up next to me on my side to start the night off...then when Baby wakes for the first feed, I can bring him/her into bed with me and we can stay that way for the rest of the night, with the barrier to prevent falls.
I will do some 'looking around' while we are out and about tomorrow and see what kind of barriers are out there and what might be suitable for my purposes.
Still need to prove to DF that it is safe....but I really think my minds made up....going back reading my posts it sure seems like it anyway! LOL.

Thanks for all the info ladies....if an yone else has any tips or info they would like to share, I will be eternally grateful.
