I just read Pinky McKay's new book "sleeping like a baby", and it made me feel so much better about letting my baby girl sleep in my arms - in fact, I read most of the book while she sleept in my arms.. as soon as I put her in her cot she would wake up, so I let her sleep on me and started reading... I enjoy it and feel that it helped me relax after a hard pregnancy and labour.. I'm actually getting a hammock this week to see if she settles better in that as I do need to get some of my time back now, however I think that is normal to want to sleep in someones arms - I know I like it!
