I thought he was dead, but he was just asleep.

Nic and Michelle, thanks.

Bath, thanks for posting that info about co-sleeping. I posted in here because DH and I don't like co-sleeping with DS (but we like co-sleeping with each other ). It's not our choice but the alternative, DS becoming terribly distressed, is not an option either (and yeah and we've tried everything else as well). My greatest fear is that he'll get caught under a pillow and suffocate, because he really likes to snuggle up to me and get close. But, like you said, even though we are asleep, we are aware of him and in tune with him. And that's why we don't like co-sleeping, because we don't get a good deep sleep. I'll be looking out for those sweet little pink lips! Thanks.

My kids have often scared me like that, and it is gutrenching!!

My daughter had "fallen asleep" under the kitchen table, a habit of hers to avoid going to bed, and I couldn't pull her out. She had choked on peice of sticky tape. I had her in my arms, on the phone to the ambulance, when I managed to pull it out. Her throat was bleeding, but she was ok. I know how much you can panic when they wont wake up!!

Looks like your little chook loves sleeping with mummy and daddy lots!!! How relaxed and loved he must feel to not be bothered by your attempts to get him up!!

Oh Jodie, choking on sticky tape is real! (as opposed to just sleeping and being totally fine). Wow, I am so glad she's OK. Well done to you

And thanks for your kind words too

ETA: Oh yeah, and, DS slept through in his cot last night! WooHoo (except he probably won't do it again for ages, he loves getting our hopes up).
