We either dtd on the couch, on a foam matres on the lounge room floor or move DS onto his matress on our bedroom floor and dt in our bed with him in the same room. We have never woken him, though there are times i am worried he will wake up and see us and be scarred for life, though in reality even if we did wake him durig, he would be all groggy and not register what we were doing anyway
My kids have all been in a cradle in our room for the first 8 months of their lives ... so we have scarred all of them on a regular basis We don't find it a mood killer to do it with them in the room and they don't wake up. I wouldn't do it with DD1 or DS in our room now, they are bit old and would probably be a bit scared if they happen to wake up.
We use our room the way we always have at bedtime - we turn lights on, get changed into our PJs, lie in bed and talk - none of that stuff has ever disturbed any of our kids from sleep so I guess DTD is just like anything else we do in our room.
