i agree with bath on the co-sleeping thing. i know it's not for everyone but i find it fantastic. we have ds's cot in our room and he starts in there, then when he wakes i usually feed him back to sleep in bed with us. he usually wakes twice between 9pm and 9am. it doesn't really bother me..and we love all waking up together in the morning the 3 of us. like i said- not suitable for everyone but it works for us.

i love 'the science of parenting' as well. i keep going back and refering to it. it's a great read.
