too young for co-sleeping?

[mrscricket]

We co-slept with DS pretty much from birth, even in the hospital, and I found you just tend to instinctively sleep differently. I am a bit of a mover in my sleep but whenever DS was in with us I found i never moved position. It was like i was aware he was with me. He mostly slept on my chest or in the crock of my arm.

Everyone had a go at me for co-sleeping but DS is a beautiful sleeper now which i think was him adjusting to our body rhythms. He sleeps in his own cot now and rarely sleeps with us and i do miss it. I also look back to when he first come home and was so glad he slept with us as we both (Dh and I) got so much more sleep and it was a nice time for us. Do what you think is best - your the mummy and he won't be in your bed forever! If you chose to co-sleep for a few weeks, months or even years, it is your choice. Good luck!

I should add to that we were encouraged by the midwife at hospital to co-sleep. She gave us heaps of information and made us feel good about it. I don't know if i would of done it without her inital encouragement. In my mind, she was a professional so that made me feel positive and ignore my MIL and mum when they both said it was wrong
